Welcome

About US

Existing at the intersection of community, care, and connection, Half Hood Half Holistic believes that true healing happens in community and joy. Through our "Tribe Check-Ins" and social wellness events, we cultivate spaces where people can heal together. We're committed to shifting the mental health paradigm, training communities to respond as "Hood Healers" and supporting those already doing the work through our "Heal the Healers" initiatives.

 

Our values are rooted in authenticity, accessibility, and culture. We aim to make mental health services accessible and culturally relevant while creating spaces where Black individuals, couples, and families can heal as whole beings. Half Hood Half Holistic provides a mind, body, and spirit approach to wellness, a space where you can show up fully—as you are.

 

Somewhere between soul food, meditation, therapy, and trap music is where healing lies." Whatever you're here for, we hope you find healing that fits you.

 

As always, "come for the vibes, stay for the healing."

Meet the founder

Founder of “Half Hood Half Holistic”, Rachel Johnson is a licensed mental health therapist, doula, speaker, professor, wellness and leadership coach and organizational consultant. The author of “Self-Love Workbook for Black Women” grounds her services and practices in creating accessible and culturally relevant spaces for Black individuals, couples and families. With the slogan “come for the vibes, stay for the healing” one of Rachel’s most notable achievements is the creation of the “Come Get This Healing” Therapy Fund, which covers therapy costs for priority populations.

 

When Rachel is not trying to save the world, you can find her at a roller skating rink, by a firepit or cozied up on the couch with her favorite tea.

​

Notes from Rachel: "...in true nerd form, I dedicated myself to learning anything and everything I could about different holistic healing modalities and supports. As I continue this never ending journey, I know that we need healing now. And we don't need it to be "culturally sensitive"... we need it to representative of our actual culture. By the culture. For the culture. 

 

My goal is to provide access to tools to assist on ones healing journey. I center the Black community around everything I do, 'cause whew chile we are tired. I believe wholeheartedly in the essence of duality-- that you can present your Cardi B. self and Solange self in every space you're in, especially healing. I wish to create a space where you can be your whole self because true healing involves the whole person. Hence, Half Hood Half Holistic."
