About Wild Ferns Wellness

“Tomorrow belongs to those of us who conceive of it as belonging to everyone; who lend the best of ourselves to it, and with joy.” -Audre Lorde

Wild Ferns Wellness is one of Michigan’s first wellness collaboration to center and support the holistic needs of Women, Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BI-POC) as well as LGBTQIA2S+ folks and allies. Wild Ferns Wellness Center provides an affirming and safe space to those who enter.

Living a joyous, healthy, and fulfilling life starts within but it doesn’t end there. At Wild Ferns Wellness, we encourage self-love and self-care and want to support you during your growth process. Our holistic approach includes psychotherapy, massage therapy, hair and skin care, voice coaching, photography services and electrolysis. We want our clients to feel welcomed and affirmed. We genuinely care about you!

Our team of licensed clinicians, masters-level therapists, skilled stylists and support staff work together to create healthier futures for our community. Because the communities we aim to center experience numerous disparities compared to the general population, our collaboration has embraced an integrated care model. We are especially dedicated to offering accessible care to those most impacted by systemic racism, transphobia, homophobia, violence, and oppression.

With one-stop access to many services we aim to empower individuals to proactively participate in self-love while on the road to healing and self-discovery. Services include:

•Therapy and Counseling Services
• Support Groups
• Haircuts and styling
• Lash extensions
• Electrolysis
• Massage Therapy
• Voice Coaching
• Photography-including head shots
• Special events & classes
• Featured art by local artists

We dream of adding a prescribing medical provider competent in care for women, transgender clients, HIV prevention and treatment, reiki, acupuncture, community run classes, community events, sip and paint art parties and so much more!

Special Message to Allies

Some of you may feel you should avoid scheduling services at Wild Ferns Wellness because you fear you will be taking up space not created for you. We disagree! We do not have space for homophobia, sexism, transphobia, racism, ableism, fatphobia, etc. but we do have plenty of space for allies and advocates!  We believe strongly, when we center those who are marginalized everyone is served better. You belong here, too. Please build community with us and help us thrive by booking services.

 

How we Started

Wild Ferns Wellness Center is co-founded by married couple Rahjah Evans, a black queer woman and Parker Curtis, a white transmasculine person. Rahjah and Parker, who both have experienced unsafe, incompetent care, dreamt of creating a welcoming, safe, inclusive wellness center. The couple began making their dream a reality in spring of 2021. After completing months of renovations and teaming up with some of the best service providers in Michigan, Wild Ferns Wellness opened it’s doors on March 1st, 2021!
