Our work is housed under Tribe Thrive which states, health care systems are not limited solely to these guidelines:

1.Individual only
2. Require people become sick
3. Insurance based
4. European psychology affirmed
5. Written and researched that foundation
6. Known by only a few trained experts [distanced by social status]
7. Interpreted correctly by observers outside of the lived experience

And instead are historically and currently broadened to these

1.Both communal and individual
2. Both prevention and intervention [no need to be sick]
3. Regular and normalized as common in community-centered traditions
4. Black, Brown & Pre-colonially Indigenous, centering the expertise of the global majority
5. Oral, experience-based and shared in daily life
6. Known and owned by the whole tribe and group of community members
7. Interpreted correctly by participants within shared lived experience

If we practice within this, it’s amazing how our care systems in health, wellness and multiple professions benefit. It’s also life changing how our care providers are able to stay juicy, sustained and sharing the talents that come from living nourished and within their best.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN CLASSES, COURSES AND SESSIONS

Foundation: Body Honesty is a term coined by me and foundational within services delivered under Tribe Thrive’s [classes, counseling, coaching, and courses] pre-colonial communal care lens.

This means we will work to help you get and stay in alignment with what your body wants and keep it cared for and not trumped by your mind. Our clients tend to be skilled, gifted, and experienced, professionals in charge of caring for others who appreciate nourishing interactions. For some of them, within the models that have helped them progress they have been expected to trump their body’s feelings, cravings, and needs with the thoughts of their strategic and brilliant minds.

This may be encouraged by societal pressure, community goals, ongoing expectations, constant busyness, and fear that they must keep the survival mask of performing intelligence & perfection to be safe. Or it may show up in how their dreams don’t feel as juicy and realistic as the work they must complete daily.

I work together with my clients to use body-based tools to increase their trust, support and alignment with their cravings. We prioritize these desires as action-based needs that fuel the rest of their successes. We focus on reciprocal relationship with self [leading to this same pattern with others], that is pleasurable and sustains their juiciness, life enjoyment, boundaries, and dreams. This work is an ongoing celebration of body & mind connection and the monthly, yearly and life-time communal benefits this brings.

WHO

The majority of our clients are professionals who are responsible for others care in some way. Some are therapists. Some are public figures and utilize our shared space as one of many ways to care for themselves. The general public is welcome to each service unless we specify we are hosting a specific service or group. Our therapy and coaching clients usually see us bi-weekly.

WHAT

We offer mental wellness coaching, professional consultation, written and art based education, therapy, emotional wellness courses and Boundaries for Juicy Dreams classes. A form is available about the differences this business honors between mental health therapy and mental wellness coaching. We are pleased to provide this to you.

HOW

Please Note: To receive therapy [a diagnosis and treatment, payable through health savings accounts and reimbursable through some insurance companies] you must reside inside of the state of our license: Indiana. Mental wellness coaching, education, professional consultation, classes and all other services are accessible to clients nationally and worldwide. Our website provides simple links to each service on the home page. We provide discounts to members of the mental wellness writing and art based Patreon space, which houses the Tribe Thrive Archive.

The next section explains what this means for you…

1. Your body is welcome here. That means you can eat, lie down, use fidgets, do art, take down hair, and cover or show your body - as long as your genitals are covered during sessions.

You can use disability practices and accommodations, move your body [maintaining a strong internet connection] and work with me to trust your body when we share time. We will not ignore pain, hunger, desires, tiredness, tears, sensations, or curiosities. We will make plans to accommodate, believe, and celebrate your body. Your existence in *any type* of body, during our sessions will never make you “unprofessional.”

2. We will use body-based tools. This will give us options to feel, be and do more than we will just think and speak.

3. No pressure, demand, or crisis. We do not offer urgent communication or emergency services. In alignment with the writing of Tema Okun, we take our time and we sink deep in. Below are details on how this looks.

In our Sessions: Unlike most mental health businesses, all of our therapy and coaching sessions are a full 1 hour and 15 minutes long so our clients can “let their hair down,” sink into feeling and healing and make plans to recover with care before moving on with their days.

It also means there is often homework to be integrated into the next 14 days of their lives with their body’s consent. We collaborate to help clients create plans for emergencies that honor their lived experiences and communal supports.

In our business policies: We have boundaries. We teach boundaries as kept, pleasurable, action-based promises to self.

In alignment with the owner’s promises to herself and her body, she is available to be booked 72 hours before & canceled on 48 hours in advance. The full fee is collected before services are delivered. Her communication requests should expect space of 10-14 days between response time [typically given during sessions] and there are no refunds.

These patterns honor Mishara’s and her client’s bodies, cultures, and the sustainability of the communal relationship types and care services we engage in. Our goal is to contribute to the natural cycles of living things.

4. You get to be cared for as a person who reciprocally cares for others. From our 1st interaction, we together cultivate this space for you to be your whole self, with another person who supports you, sharing a freeing experience. How you allow yourself to thrive here is up to you. We trust you as the best expert on you and we hope you give yourself full permission to personally and communally play, feel and heal.

Mental healthcare clients communicate via client portal or the official website. Messages between sessions are addressed in session.

Reschedules, cancellations can be completed by clients independently on the calendar.

Therapy is available to residents in Indiana. Coaching is available worldwide.
