About Us
WHY This Space Exists
At And Now Know Healing and The ANKH Way, we believe healing is a sacred act of reclamation — of self, of story, and of soul.
We were created for women of color who are ready to return to themselves. The ones who have carried so much for so long, that they forgot they’re allowed to put it down. The ones who are deeply accomplished on the outside, but silently unraveling on the inside. The ones who are ready to stop surviving and start living — with intention, authenticity, joy and ease.
We understand that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take a holistic, culturally attuned approach that honors your full humanity — mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re navigating burnout, life transitions, trauma, or simply seeking more alignment in your life, ANKH offers more than services — we offer sanctuary.
We are rooted in the belief that you don’t need to be “fixed.” You need space to feel, unlearn, reclaim, and rise.
Our mission is to create safe, intentional, and empowering spaces where you can explore who you are beyond the masks, expectations, and wounds. Through counseling, coaching, consultation, and transformative experiences — we walk with you on your journey home to yourself.
If you’re ready to feel seen, supported, and whole — you’re in the right place. Let’s begin your healing journey.
How We Hold Space
Healing is sacred. HERE, holding space is a spiritual practice.
We believe in creating environments where women of color feel seen, heard, and held without judgment — where your complexity is honored and your growth is guided with care. Whether you arrive in need of clarity, compassion, or community, we meet you at the intersection of clinical excellence, ancestral knowing and holistic flow.
Through integrative counseling, intentional coaching, and transformative experiences, we don’t just offer support — we help you realign, restore, and rise; with self-love as the north star.
- Before committing to anything, you get to explore and ask questions during a free consultation.
- You are an active participant, decision maker and expert in your transformative process because ALL of you is seen and valued
- We honor every step, tear and smile on your journey to where you want to be and where you've been.

Our Approach
The ANKH Way Philosophy
The And Now Know Healing (ANKH) Way is an empowering philosophy rooted in
1. Self-Adoration – Honoring your worth and identity.
2. Holistic Healing – Restoring mind, body, spirit, and soul.
3. Aligned Living – Choosing peace, purpose, and pleasure
Guided by ancient wisdom, cultural attunement and radical self-love.
Grounded in three core symbols: the lotus, the ankh, and the 45-degree angle.
The ANKH Way is more than just a philosophy—it's a transformative approach to healing, growth, and empowerment.
PIVOT at 45 Degrees
The 45-degree angle symbolizes the balance between light and shadow, and the power a pivot, intentional redirection, on our ability to heal. It reminds us that true healing comes not from avoiding challenges, but from integrating both the light and the dark within us. Through the 45-degree angle, we aim to help you navigate life's complexities with grace, understanding that both triumph and struggle
ALIGN like the ANKH
The ankh, an ancient Egyptian symbol of life, is central to our philosophy. It represents vitality, wholeness, and the eternal connection between mind, body, and spirit. We embrace the ankh as a symbol of your inherent power and potential for self-discovery and healing. By aligning with the energy of the ankh, we support you in finding balance, joy, and purpose in every aspect of your life - true alignment.
Bloom like the LOTUS
The lotus flower represents resilience, growth, and spiritual awakening. Just as the lotus rises from the muddy waters to bloom, we believe in your ability to rise above life's challenges and emerge stronger, wiser, and more connected to your true self. Like the lotus, you have the potential to transform and flourish. No matter the circumstances you can BLOOM.
