About Us – 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 Center is a collaborative space located in Lansing, MI, where a diverse group of providers provide health, wellness and professional services. Our providers share a commitment to inclusivity and support for woman/womxn, BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and communities. Our providers work together in harmony, leveraging shared resources and creating a strong network of care for those who enter.

Wild Ferns offers a variety of services designed to help our clients thrive. We empower those who enter to embrace self-love and self-discovery while being their authentic selves. Our space is affirming, inclusive, welcoming and safe.

Wild Ferns also offers free or low-cost use of our community space for community events, learning opportunities, support groups, etc. which are in alignment with our mission. Rental of our community space for private events is also an option.

Special Message to 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! We believe strongly, when we center those who are marginalized everyone is served better. 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.

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 its doors on March 1st, 2021.

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 LGBTQIA2S+?

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.
