Rest + Equity + Community

Happy. Healthy. Whole. You.

aRoXa CALM (Complementary AlterNative Medicine) offers integrative, holistic practices rooted in Indigenous wisdom and culturally sustaining traditions. Our focus is on prevention and healing that supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being by addressing root causes of imbalance. Through mini-retreats featuring breath-work, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, restorative movement, Reiki, sound therapies, plant-based practices, and reflective goal-setting, we create spaces where women can rest, replenish, and reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and their community.

Introducing the aRoXa Women’s Rest Collective

The aRoXa Women’s Rest Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit making rest and renewal accessible to all women, especially those who care for others, personally or professionally, and who are often excluded from wellness spaces/opportunities due to cost, life transitions, or systemic inequities. Too often, these women are women of color, carrying the weight of service, leadership, and identity taxation without support. The Collective expands and evolves aRoXa CALM’s services to reach further, including offerings in Spanish. While aRoXa CALM continues to serve all women, the Collective provides a nonprofit pathway with accessible pricing and opportunities for community donations.
