Healing and Refuge
Oshun Family Center provides racially concordant care to members of the community who are seeking to achieve optimal wellness through psychotherapy and holistic healing and birthing modalities such as doula and lactation support. It is our goal to center the experiences of community members and create a welcoming space for healing and refuge. We welcome those looking to break generational cycles and have agency over their bodies.
Our Vision
Oshun Family Center envisions health equity across the reproductive and mental health spectrum. Families in underrepresented communities are in need of providers who embody aspects of their life as it relates to race, culture and ethnicity therefore it is our goal and vision to assist with overcoming the barrier and include race, culture or ethnicity based concordance for care.
MENTAL HEALTH
Therapy at Oshun is not about fixing you; it’s about supporting you. We partner with you through life’s transitions, difficult decisions, and moments of growth, helping you build clarity, resilience, and a life that feels aligned and whole.
MATERNAL HEALTH
Every Oshun therapist is trained in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. We also offer support groups and doula care connections to support families through pregnancy and postpartum.
HOLISTIC HEALING
We support healing through somatic approaches and connect clients to trusted practitioners offering herbalism, acupuncture, massage therapy, and yoga.

IT ALL STARTED WITH $5000
Amid a pandemic that’s disproportionately impacting the Black community, the continued killings of Black people at the hands of police
officers, and global anti-racism protests, a Philly-area therapist is using her platform to help the local Black community take care of their
mental health right now.
In response to the deaths of Ahmad Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, Oshun Family Center launched a fundraiser on June 3rd,
2020 with a goal of raising $5,000. Within 24hrs we exceeded our goal and to date raised over $100k. With this initiative, we focus on the
impact of racial trauma on the Black community. It is important for allies to support our mission as healing is paramount in the upward
mobility of the Black community. We are working to continue raising funds to set our roots in Philadelphia by building the organization and contributing to economic development.
The Maternal Wellness Village is a collective of birth workers serving Philadelphia County and beyond as direct service
providers and content-area experts in maternal health. We are psychotherapists, doulas, lactation professionals, holistic healers,
infertility warriors, nurses, and midwifery students. Combined, we have over 55 years of transferable skills!
