8 health and wellness goddesses you should get to know right now
Seems like just yesterday we were making NYE plans and scribbling down our resolutions hoping to completely transform our lives. Now, it’s April: How are those resolutions coming along? Probably not so great (things happen), and that’s okay because luckily, it’s never too late to start making positive changes towards improving our overall health, wellness, and happiness. And with so many yogis, healers, nutritionists, organic chefs, spiritual gurus, and all-round wellness goddesses using social media to amplify their voices and spread their missions, it has never been easier to access the information needed to help us take that first small step.
The way we view our health has definitely evolved over the years. Today, more people are moving away from external quick coverups or fixes and searching for ways to heal their bodies and improve their minds from the inside using holistic methods. For example, through Ayurvedic medicine — it is one of the world’s oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems and is based on the belief that health and wellness depends on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.
What a time to be alive! The 8 women on this list are completely redefining what it means to be healthy. (Yes, we’re taking notes.)

Hasnaa currently works at a non-profit, cultural, and wellness center. And in her own words while speaking with The Hood Witch,
“I teach workshops about specific Spirit based wellness practices. I make kits that include tools for vibrational attunement.

My focus is on channeling ancient hidden wisdom, disseminating it, making it very tangible and accessible for everyone to integrate into their daily lives.

Rochelle’s Instagram feed has become our latest obsession. It is filled with recipe upon recipe of healthy goodness. If scrolling through Rochelle’s feed doesn’t make you want to go for a run, cook up some fresh veggies, or roll out that dusty yoga mat…we’re not sure what will.
6Lauren Ash
