Healing Period
Healing Period is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to advancing the lifelong mental, emotional, physical, and social well being of women through research informed education, community programs, care navigation, and accessible support. A limited number of sliding scale and pro bono services are available directly through Healing Period based on capacity.
Our services and resources are designed to reduce barriers to care, strengthen individual and community well being, and support healing across generations in both metropolitan and rural communities.
Therapy & Trauma Recovery
Healing centered counseling designed to support emotional well-being, trauma recovery, and meaningful life transitions.
Approach: Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, collaborative care tailored to each client’s needs, goals, and lived experience.
Who We Serve: Women, BIPOC communities, trauma survivors, and adults navigating stress, identity, relationships, grief, reproductive transitions, or major life changes.
What to Expect: A nonjudgmental space to understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, process experiences, and build resilience at a sustainable pace.
Availability: Healing Period offers a limited number of sliding-scale and pro bono therapy appointments based on availability. Insurance based and full fee therapy is provided separately through Healing Center Collective, PLLC and the platforms listed on the Current Client Portals page. Therapy is available only where Cilicia is appropriately licensed or otherwise authorized.
Herbal Consultations
Herbal wellness education offers a gentle, culturally rooted way to explore plant traditions as part of a broader self-care practice.
What to Expect: Education about commonly used herbs, reflective conversation about your wellness goals, and practical ideas for incorporating herbs into personal rituals or daily routines.
Accessibility: Sliding scale or pro bono availability may be offered directly through Healing Period based on current capacity.
Important: Herbal wellness education is complementary and does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional about medications, pregnancy, health conditions, or possible interactions.
Doula & Reproductive Wellness
Compassionate care through the sacred transitions of pregnancy and postpartum.
- Birth Doula Services: Emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth.
- Postpartum Doula Services (Coming Soon): In home care, lactation support, and emotional check ins for new parents.
- Vision: To ensure every birthing person has access to supportive care, regardless of income.
Spiritual & Somatic Healing
Support that invites connection among emotional, physical, and spiritual experience.
Offerings: Grounding practices, breath awareness, reflective ritual, gentle body awareness, and other nonclinical wellness practices selected collaboratively.
Purpose: To support present-moment awareness, personal meaning, and a greater sense of connection with yourself. These services are complementary, are not psychotherapy unless explicitly provided within a therapy session, and do not replace medical or mental-health treatment.
Holistic Life Coaching
Nonclinical, future-focused support for people seeking greater clarity, accountability, and alignment in everyday life.
Focus: Values, wellness planning, life transitions, resilience, goal setting, and personal development.
Availability: Coaching may be available virtually to adults nationwide, subject to fit and program capacity.
Difference From Therapy: Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions and is not a substitute for psychotherapy, crisis care, or medical treatment. If clinical needs emerge, an appropriate referral may be recommended.
Reproductive Wellness Program (Coming Soon)
A future program bringing several Healing Period pathways together in one supportive experience.
Who It’s For: People preparing for pregnancy, navigating birth, or seeking support during reproductive transitions.
Planned Components: Therapy, herbal wellness education, birth doula support, and spiritual or somatic practices.
Access: The program is not yet available. Sliding-scale and pro bono access is planned, subject to nonprofit capacity and future funding.
Community Healing Programs
Collective care for shared growth and connection.
- Examples: Group healing circles, educational workshops, and support gatherings.
- Purpose: To expand access beyond one-on-one sessions and strengthen community resilience.
