Trauma-informed Healing for Black Women and Black Queer Bodies
A gentle body-led healing space for Black women and Black queer folks who are ready to rest, remember, and reclaim their most authentic self.
If your story is anything like mine, then you’ve spent a lifetime being strong for others while quietly learning how to survive yourself. Then, somewhere along the way, your body got tired, your spirit fell weary, and your needs ignored.
You may have found this space while searching for nervous system healing near me, while longing to release trauma from the body, and hoping to find a somatic healer who understands your lived experience and honors the wisdom of your body.
This is a space for Black healing. Sun Earth Healing exists to reclaim and restore your dignity and Divinity through safety, slowness, and care that honors our highest selves. Here, we make room to unlearn survival as a default, reconnect with ancestral wisdom, and practice forms of rest, pleasure, and embodiment that are deeply liberatory.
Whether you’re curious about a Black women’s wellness retreat, drawn to Black wellness retreats, or beginning a personal healing journey, you belong here.

What unfolds here…
Learning to listen to your body
Through slow, gentle movement, breath practices, and space for reflection we begin to re-orient towards the body as a site of information and liberation.
Learning to choose yourself
Through the practice of self-devotion, you learn to prioritize yourself without guilt or shame.
Learning to receive love and support
Through community, consent, and boundaries, we experience what it means to receive love and support safely.

Hi, I’m Gabby Oglesby
I’m a body‑led healing practitioner and guide offering trauma‑informed healing for Black femmes and Black queer people who are tired of performing and surviving.
My work is shaped by my own lived experience as a Black, queer, disabled human. I know what it feels like to want healing that is culturally rooted, attuned, and loving.
For many years, I worked in community spaces supporting people impacted by trauma, violence, incarceration, illness, and burnout. Over time, I saw the same pattern again and again, especially among Black femmes and Black queer folks. We carry so much. And our bodies pay the price.
That’s why my work centers Black healing, rest, and safety. I blend trauma-informed yoga, somatic practices, sound healing, spiritual hygiene, and coaching to support nervous system healing and help people gently release trauma from the body.
This is holistic wellness that meets you where you are…not where you think you “should” be.
Healing here is slow.
Healing here is sacred.
Healing here is yours.
I also create community spaces, circles, and retreats including Black women’s wellness retreats and black owned wellness retreats so healing doesn’t have to happen alone.

This is holistic healing wellness that meets you where you are.
Community Healing Circles & Group Experiences
Healing happens in relationships and in community,
Community healing circles create space for Black healing in connection with others who understand your experience. These group offerings are slow, supportive, and rooted in shared care.
Together, we explore rest, movement, sound, reflection, and conversation in ways that feel safe and grounding.
These offerings are especially supportive for people who want healing in community before committing to a retreat or long‑term work.
If you’ve been craving connection without pressure, this is a place to begin.
Retreats & Extended Healing Experiences
Sun Earth Healing offers Black women’s wellness retreats and immersive experiences designed for deep rest, reflection, and restoration.
These black wellness retreats are intentionally created as black owned wellness retreats—centering safety, accessibility, and cultural care.
Retreats may include yoga, sound healing, journaling, nature time, and guided rest practices that support deep nervous system regulation.
Retreats are ideal for those who want to step away from daily stress and reconnect through trauma‑informed healing in a supportive, intentional space.
