About Journey Healing Institute
Journey Healing Institute was founded by Kimberly J. Davis, PhD, MBA, scholar, author, professor, and healing practitioner. The insitute embodies the principles of healing justice, which is a community-led effort to recognize, heal, and transform the effects of individual, collective, or historical trauma. Healing justice integrates theories and practices to create collective care strategies rooted in ancestral, traditional, indigenous healing technologies for emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, psychic, and environmental well-being. The institute is a healing-centered non-profit organization that centers the educational, healing, and wellness needs of women, and in particular Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color. We create and facilitate healing-centered educational courses and programs and community healing offerings. We also provide access to healing-centered resources and holistic healing practitioners. Our board of directors consists of educators, counselors, teachers, dreamers, and healing practitioners who are passionate about healing in the community.
Our Mission
Foster healing as social justice
