WELLSPACE CO - OP
BE WELL & NEVER GIVE UP!
Project Description
💚 WELLSPACE CONSULTING LLC
Creating Trauma-Informed Co-op Spaces for Women Veterans
Adapting to change is hard. Especially for women veterans, single parents, and trauma survivors who are navigating transitions without a strong support system.
That’s where WELLSPACE comes in.
🌿 What Is WELLSPACE?
WELLSPACE CONSULTING LLC is a heart-centered wellness cooperative founded by Sharieka Hall—a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, wellness coach, yoga teacher, personal trainer, and chef. After surviving military trauma, navigating single motherhood, and rebuilding from housing insecurity, Sharieka created WELLSPACE to be the safe, empowering space she once needed.
We provide trauma-informed services rooted in Mindfulness, Movement, and Nourishment, including:
Yoga & meditation classes (virtual + in person)
Group fitness & dance-based healing (Soul Circle)
Personal chef services & mindful meal prep
Community wellness coaching
Co-op childcare support
The Presence Collection: affirmation-based wellness merch
A farm-to-table kitchen & garden space
BLU – our upcoming digital wellness app

🤝 A Healing Village for Times of Transition
Our vision is to create trauma-informed wellness spaces—cooperatively owned by the people who use and support them. Steering Committee members (yoga teachers, therapists, creatives, chefs, and community leaders) will share responsibility for WELLSPACE’s growth and direction and receive a financial stake in the business.
We believe in healing together—through safe, sacred space, nourishing meals, mindful movement, and community presence.
