We are a community health clinic + cross-cultural education center offering Western, Eastern and Indigenous approaches to heart, soul and womb healing that is accessible to every body.

 
 

At the Oshun Center for Intercultural Healing, we believe that no one should have to choose between Western, Eastern or Indigenous medicines.

We deserve care that heals broken hearts as well as broken bones. Our pain and illnesses are wide and varied, as should our medicines be, and we deserve options, informed choice, and affordable access to them all.

 

Read about the history of healers, midwives, and Black physicians in the United States, and Oshun Center’s vision for a more integrated health care community in our future.

“I found myself in a challenging situation in conversation with someone I respect, as I was voicing the importance of inclusion... I focused on staying grounded, and NOT saying something that would sever our relationship.

I remembered your words about what we can do in relationship, and I tried to stay respectful, calm my nervous system and avoid a knee jerk reaction… and now it’s time to practice scripts of what to say when we resume that conversation. I wanted to let you know how soon it was that I got to use your teachings!”

At Oshun Center, we try to imagine what U.S. health care would look like if it had developed evenly and fairly, acknowledging the influences of folk medicine, midwives, homeopaths, Indigenous American healing, techniques brought over by enslaved African doctors/healers, bonesetters and spiritual guides.

By telling the history of medicine's colonization, and imagining its re-integration, we support healing and new medicines for all.
