How we started
Wild Ferns Wellness was founded by Parker and Rahjah Curtis-Evans and opened on March 1st, 2021. We are located just north of Frandor, right on the Lansing/East Lansing line and just minutes from MSU.
Rahjah and Parker know how hard it is to find safe, quality care where you can show up as your whole self. Rahjah is Black, Queer, and Neurodivergent, and Parker is Transgender, Disabled, and Neurodivergent. They both have had health care or therapy appointments where they experienced direct discrimination or where the provider claimed to be affirming but acted in ways that were uncomfortable.
After so many disappointing experiences, they found themselves tired. Tired of care that did not help, care with assumptions, care where safety felt reserved for privilege, care that had them leaving feeling worse than when they arrived.
During the early days of the Covid pandemic, they found a deep calling to make a change that would put first those whose wellness is often last to be considered. March 1st, 2021 Rahjah and Parker officially opened Wild Ferns Wellness Center.
Wild Ferns Wellness Mission
We are committed to centering the well-being, voices, and joy of LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC communities and Women/womxn.
We are committed to strengthening community connection, fostering empowerment, and providing holistic care—especially for those most impacted by systemic violence and oppression.
By centering those who are too often pushed to the margins, we cultivate wellness that is deeply rooted in equity and justice. This approach creates a community where everyone benefits instead of only those with the greatest access or who have been historically advantaged.
A special message for allies
We do not have space for homophobia, sexism, transphobia, racism, ableism, fatphobia, etc. but we do have plenty of space for allies and advocates!
You belong here, too. Please build community with us! Book a service, tell your friends, come to community events and be part of the foundation of support for BIPOC, LGBTQIAS2+ and ally businesses & communities.
What do we mean when we say BIPOC?
BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Pronounced “bye-pock,” this is a term specific to the United States, intended to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups and demonstrate solidarity between communities of color.
The term “BIPOC” acknowledges that people of color face varying types of discrimination and prejudice. Additionally, it emphasizes that systemic racism continues to oppress, invalidate, and deeply affect the lives of Black and Indigenous people in ways other people of color may not necessarily experience.
What do we mean when we say LGBTQIAS2?
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic, Two Spirit, + and all other sexual/romantic orientations, alternative relational structures (such as consensual non-monogomy or relationship anarchy) and gender identities.
