What is Traditional AfriCaribbean Medicine/Modalities? (TAFCM)
Our Mission is to evolve and transform with our communities on the Tenets of African, Caribbean Arts and Sciences.
Traditional AfriCaribbean medicine (TAFCM) basic concept is that a vital force of life, called Ki- IFA in Yoruba, and Axé in Taïno Language -surges through the physical body. Any imbalance to Axé can cause a discord with the frequencies of IFA, causing disease and illness in our homes, bodies and family environments. This imbalance is most commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Axé. These energies are known as Yin/Yang forces, Kwasans in Haitian Kréyol.
SLA WELLNESS CONSULTING is an impactful mobile health center with two distinct branches. Let me provide a brief description of each branch:

This branch anchors a social impact focus. We work in collaboration with institutions to help combat severe post traumatic stress among staff. Host events centered around women's issues and achievements to provide a platform for membership, education and wellness packages.
2. Traditional AfriCaribbean Sciences in Bodywork:
The complementary branch- Sher Wellness Center, is dedicated to promoting and highlighting Traditional AfriCaribbean Sciences in Bodywork.
