Our Story
a little about us…
Refuge22 founded in 2018 is a wellness company with mental health as our foundation. Our initial services were in four main areas
1. breath work + movement offerings
2.culturally specific trainings to entities including community based organizations, hospital systems and institutions of faith
3. partnership with entities to provide high level culturally informed therapy to their clients and executives,
4. Products including body butters, bath salts, essential oils and other skincare products.
We continue to provide these products and services and have expanded in our approach in supporting people in their healing and health. While we provide standard and familiar offerings of care, we specialize in creative approaches to meet wellness needs and desires.
You know you. We want to get to know you. As you build trust with us, we want you to increasingly trust you. So let’s have a good time finding alignment and navigating the chaos with grace. Our current tenants of focus are presence, partnership and process.
