More people are turning to communal healing as they seek connection, belonging, and emotional support, says Nyambura Njau, a somatic therapist and co-founder of ThriveHaus, a wellness community that creates healing experiences for women.

She explains that teaming up with the practitioners from different disciplines of astrology, nervous system work, somatic experiencing, yoga, and human design strengthens the healing experience.

“Each of us has our own medicine. My way of healing is different from someone else’s. Together, we form a tapestry where every practitioner contributes something valuable. It is also a place of learning since I continue to grow from the wisdom and practices of others," she says.
