WELCOME KIN,
We’re Zahiyah & Lauren
We are filled with immense gratitude that you have found your way here to Anam Cara Collective—
Soul sisters from almost the day we met, we connected initially for a photoshoot project in Asheville, NC several years back. At first, our artistic and creative expressions drew us together and sparked our conversations, but it was our mutual devotion to rewriting our trauma histories and living a life in service of supporting others to do the same, that activated our friendship.
With Lauren’s background as a registered occupational therapist, holistically focused on self-regulation and lifestyle redesign, and Zahiyah specializing in women’s embodiment work and conscious relationships as a highly respected somatic trauma practitioner—we bring you a whole-body approach to healing that can support your own unique signature and expression.
At our core, we believe a large part of our life’s mission is to facilitate sacred spaces for women to gather in nature, foster soul connections, and reclaim the most authentic and vibrant versions of themselves.
We can’t wait to meet you!
