why I’m here

 my MISSION IS TO HELP BLACK WOMEN HEAL, EXPAND & FLOURISH through the cultivation of spiritual wellness.

Hello!

I’m so happy you’re here.

I believe that flourishing is the birthright of all Black women. Period. While I’m mindful of the cultural, social, systemic, and interpersonal hindrances to our flourishing, I’m also mindful that healing, expansion, and flourishing are forms of active and intentional resistance. Our ancestors left us receipts: their stories, their testimonies, and their lived witnesses. This same flourishing, and more, are available to us now.

One of my greatest joys in life is seeing Black women move beyond our traumas and expand into healing, wholeness and flourishing. From my personal journey, I know that this is a deeply personal and transformative journey that starts from within. It begins when we recognize our agency, reframe the stories of our past, and move forward in faith. When we open ourselves to divine possibility, we turn the pages in our stories and begin to write new chapters that are rich in personal growth and fulfillment.

I’ve done this many times over, and I’ve learned that there is nothing more rewarding than writing your own story.

It's very clear that Reverend Guidry takes seriously the idea that God breathes life into every living thing. You can trust her to tend carefully to the wounded, the searching, and the anxious in their most fragile state because she sees God in even broken things. I look upon her as the conduit of "blessed assurance," which means that I can trust her, always, to honor the holiness in despairing people.

Having the Rev. Dr. Neichelle Guidry as my mentor and coach for my Contextual Education internship in seminary was an invaluable experience. She is a dynamic, nurturing and prophetic coach who embodies and teaches womanist values with an authentic flair. Her attentiveness and investment in not only my ministry, but my life and my holistic flourishing, has greatly empowered me to have a certain confidence, curiosity and creativity in my work and in my life.

-Joselyn Spence, M.Div., Director of Mental Health and Wellness, National Benevolent Association

Neichelle is that rare blend of individual that can humbly receive and powerfully give all at the same time. I had the privilege of being her coach, and I’ve had the privilege of sitting in her own teaching as she presented one her amazing workshops when she presents. She was phenomenal. She was intuitive, powerful, and she had a deep mastery of her subject. She brings a wealth of knowledge and mastery as a theologian to her coaching practice, but she has also done the work on herself. She is who she says she is.
