Wellness Without Barriers Campaign

Our Mission

Traditional wellness programs often leave people behind—especially in diverse workplaces. The NativeSELF CARE Wellness Without Barriers Campaign is changing that. Our mission is to empower you to cultivate the self-care revolution at work by providing dedicated wellness event hubs, communities and analytics all-in-one network that offers bespoke experiences regardless of background or ability. 

Origin Story

The idea for NSC "Wellness Without Barriers Campaign" was inspired by the stress and burnout experienced by founder, mother, disabled veteran, former addiction counselor, and Jamaican artist trying to navigate the ups and mostly the downs of work and family life. She found herself in desperate need of her own “self-care revolution", rest and to increase her wellness intake at work without breaking the bank or taking a sabbatical—during a time when employee wellness was not a priority, popular or as accessible as it is now. 

"After my experiences with burnout, toxic work environments, triggering massive flair ups of an undiagnosed stress-induced autoimmune disorder (HS) hidradenitis suppurativa and a phenomenal sensory self-care finger painting experience. I felt compelled to chronicle the living anthology of the phenomenal self-care experiences others were experiencing as they too engaged in their own self-care and wellness revolutions. I had a vision of building a wellness community around more than just my art but the reason why I finger paint. I wanted to replicate those S.A.F.E. (Supportive, Authentic, Fulfilling, Empowered) feelings that led me to my self-care to acknowledge the time needed to self-care, being part of the cultivation process. I wanted to create online spaces dedicated to this process for the employees, volunteers and members of professional networks that are disrupting, reducing and transforming stress and burnout into something more useful. I wanted to have more family time, me time to finger paint more, to process my thoughts and I knew I needed balance. 

Imagine if nothing changes and we continue to work in toxic work environments stewing in stress, anxiety and burnout? I did for 12 years. People like you and me are exhausted, getting sick and dying from exhaustion too. My vision has taken me from a creative self-care journey to curating immersive in-persn events and grassroots online wellness community spaces free from the noise of mainstream social media. This is the opportunity for us to take control of our most valuable resource "our time" to intentionally explore our self-care and wellness as teams at work. I believe the best way to predict the future is to create it and we risk decreasing our quality of life at home, school, work, community and future generations if we continue to ignore self-care and wellness as teams. 

The self-care revolution doesn't happen without you." -- I A.M.  

The Problem

Yes! People are exhausted and feel ignored! It feels like we're now in a constant state of overwhelm, anxiousness, stress and burnout. Whether you take steps to increase your wellness at home, constant exposure to working on understaffed teams and in toxic work environments is still very taxing. Do you ever get the feeling that there is no time; time for yourself care or well-being at work or there seems to be no real sense of urgency in creating opportunities to engage in wellness activities, reduce turnover, create team cohesion or feel overlooked at work? Then we feel your pain.
