RahMi Wellness Studio
Help RahMi Wellness Fund Our First Studio in NYC!
Project Description
Mission:
At RahMi Wellness, our mission is to redefine well-being as a fundamental right, accessible to all. We are passionate about promoting holistic wellness and fostering a stronger sense of community, with a particular focus on Black and brown queer communities.
The Problem:
Underserved communities, especially communities of color and LGBTQ+ populations, face systemic barriers to access essential resources. Disparities in mental health, nutrition, and overall well-being are stark and unacceptable.
Market Size/Opportunity:
The market for holistic wellness and mental health resources is not only growing but evolving. An increasing number of consumers seek services that cater to mind, body, and spirit. The demand is significant, and Black and brown queer communities represent a substantial and underserved segment of this market.
Our Solution:
RahMi Wellness empowers individuals through education and resources to nurture holistic wellness, addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We offer educational programs and resources to equip people with the knowledge to navigate mental health, embrace nutritious living, and access vital resources.
Our community-focused events, including comedy shows, dating events, and art exhibitions, celebrate diversity and inspire authentic relationships. We work directly with Black and brown queer communities to address their specific needs. Additionally, we host wellness workshops that tackle critical subjects, including intimacy, sexual health, and relationships.
Our diverse range of offerings includes fitness classes such as yoga, pilates, and dance/movement, along with massage therapy and acupuncture. We are proud to provide resources for mental health counseling, addressing the full spectrum of well-being.
Why We Need Funding:
To fully realize our mission and cater to these communities effectively, we need funding to establish our first studio space in NYC.
How We'll Use Funding:
- Studio Space: Securing a space that accommodates fitness rooms, wellness rooms, a gallery, a cafe, and offices.
- Equipment: Outfitting our studio with exercise machines, yoga props, massage tables, art materials, and a kitchen.
- Staff: Hiring qualified staff, including massage therapists, acupuncturists, front desk staff, yoga and fitness instructors.
- Marketing and Production: Promoting our mission and events through marketing, production, branding, and social media management.
- Merchandise: Creating and selling branded merchandise to generate revenue.
- Operations: Covering overhead costs and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
Our Team:
Our team is a passionate and diverse group with a wide range of skills and experience. Together, we are dedicated to dismantling systemic oppression and creating a healthier, more inclusive future for everyone.
