Our Story

Our founder, Angela, knows firsthand the deep waves of grief and change that life can bring. After sustaining spinal injuries that left her with lasting physical and mental limitations, Angela faced an early retirement from her career — a loss that shook her sense of identity and stability. Then, in August 2023, she experienced one of the deepest heartbreaks of her life: the passing of her mother from lung cancer.

Through these heavy seasons of loss, Angela found herself on a path she hadn’t expected — one that would slowly lead her back to herself and forward into something beautiful.

Drawing strength from her five years of volunteer work as a peer facilitator with NAMI, Angela became a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, deepening her commitment to supporting others navigating mental health challenges.
Her 14 years of an inconsistent, yet always present, yoga practice also became a lifeline — a reminder that even small steps toward healing matter. As she worked through her grief, she recommitted to her practice, eventually becoming a certified yoga instructor, learning to move and love her body again with compassion.

During her healing journey, Angela found powerful guidance in studying Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) — the idea that even in the aftermath of trauma, growth and new life are possible. Writing and reflecting on PTG led her to create her book and her wellness kit filled with the simple tools she needed every day: grounding practices, affirmations, soothing scents, and small reminders of hope.

From this personal journey, Soul Balance Wellness came to life — a space where healing is accessible, where self-care is honored, and where community is key.

Today, Soul Balance Wellness offers:
🌿 Free wellness circles and peer support groups
🌿 Affordable wellness workshops and resources
🌿 Holistic self-care tools and wellness kits

Angela’s story is proof that even through trauma, growth is still possible — and that healing doesn't have to happen alone.
At Soul Balance Wellness, we walk this path together.

One breath, One step, and One soul at a time!
