Root + Honey invites your organization to host Empress — Texture Specialist, Ritualist, and founder of a microsalon + soul care sanctuary — for speaking engagements and workshop leadership tailored to private groups, corporations, and community organizations.

What Empress offers

  • Holistic care practices: Integrative approaches that honor body, mind, and spirit. Practical rituals and everyday frameworks for sustaining wellness in busy lives.

  • African + Southern African American-rooted spiritual wellness: Contextualized teachings and practices that center ancestral wisdom, ritual literacy, and culturally grounded spiritual self-care.

  • Somatic practice & nervous-system regulation: Embodied techniques for shifting stress responses, building safety, and restoring resilience through breath, movement, and somatic attunement.

  • Certified Psychohairapist — trauma-informed textured hair care: A compassionate, trauma-aware model that connects hair care with identity, memory, and emotional healing. Includes language, consultation practices, and salon rituals that create restorative client experiences.

Formats and audiences

  • Keynotes (45–75 minutes): Energetic, research-informed talks that weave story, history, and practice. Ideal for conferences, corporate wellness days, and public events.

  • Workshops (90–180 minutes): Experiential sessions combining teaching, guided somatic practices, ritual exercises, and practical takeaways. Suitable for team retreats, professional development, and community learning.

  • Multi-session training series: Deep dives across 2–6 sessions for leadership teams, salon staff, HR cohorts, or cohort-based community learning.

  • Private circles & retreats: Intimate, unhurried gatherings focused on ritual practice, hair-based somatic work, and spiritual care.

  • Custom consultations: Program design for organizations seeking to integrate psychohairapy principles, trauma-informed care, or culturally grounded wellness into workplace policies, client services, or training curricula.

Learning objectives participants can expect

  • Understand connections between textured hair, identity, and intergenerational trauma/healing.

  • Learn somatic tools to regulate the nervous system in daily life and under workplace stress.

  • Practice simple, repeatable rituals drawn from African and diasporic spiritual lineages adapted for contemporary contexts.

  • Apply trauma-informed communication and intake practices for haircare and client-facing roles.

  • Build holistic care routines that support emotional wellbeing and professional resilience.

Why book Empress

  • Practitioner-led: Root + Honey is both a service space and a living laboratory for these practices — teachings are field-tested and client-rooted.

  • Culturally grounded: Content is rooted in African and diasporic traditions, presented with respect, nuance, and practical adaptation for diverse audiences.

  • Transformative, not performative: Sessions prioritize embodiment, safety, and sustainable integration over surface-level inspiration.

  • Tailorable: Programs are designed to meet organizational goals, audience needs, and accessibility considerations.

Logistics & booking

  • Typical engagement windows: 60–180 minutes; customizable for half-day and full-day formats.

  • Capacity: From intimate circles (6–12) to larger assemblies (up to 300 for keynote-style presentations).

  • AV & space needs: Specified upon inquiry; many workshops require open floor space for somatic work and small table work for ritual or hair-based demonstrations.

  • Availability: Select booking dates available; travel arrangements accommodated for off-site engagements.
