“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”

-bell hooks, All about Love

Black Pearl Wellness believes in the power of community to heal and liberate. Our community wellness events brings people together in a safe, welcoming environment where each individual can feel interconnected and experience the power of collective healing. We create an atmosphere of shared peace and support. The collective energy of the group enhances individual treatments, while also interrupting the isolation often associated with illness, depression, and chronic pain. The goal is to create a supportive, collective environment for healing, promote long-term wellness and find pathways to liberation. Black Pearl Wellness exists thanks to the ongoing support of our community. We work to provide seasonal, complimentary Community Wellness Events that centers Black, Indigenous, people of color and Queer communities, as a love letter to Portland. These events are made possible by grants, donations, and those who believe in the power of healing spaces for community.


Our signature event, Black Wellness Sunday, presented in collaboration with Sankofa Counseling, is co-hosted annually during Black History Month. This event is exclusively for our Black community members. We provide group and individual wellness treatments, including Group Acupuncture, Somatic Rest, Sound Bath, Mini Massages, journaling and reflection spaces. Our goal is to co-create a place of refuge, where we can come together and be in community. We recognize that Black Pearl Wellness holds space for the individualized healing of many community members, these events are different because it’s centering the power of community to aid in our healing and wellness.


If you or your organization is interested in collaborating in a community wellness event, let’s talk! Contact Lai-Lani Ovalles, Co-Founder for more info.
