Friends Having Fun

Welcome to
My Melanin Wellness

A space to breath, heal and be

​​

You’ve been carrying so much for so long. The stress, the expectations, the endless juggling act—it’s a lot. And even though you’ve managed to keep showing up for everyone else, deep down you’re wondering: When do I get to feel okay again?

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

​

Why My Melanin Wellness?

I created My Melanin Wellness as an intentional reminder—for me, and for every woman who needs to hear this: you are allowed to choose yourself.

​

As a Black woman, I understand the unique weight women of color often carry. The pressure to be strong. The unspoken expectations to hold it all together. But the need for rest, clarity, and wholeness isn’t exclusive—it’s universal.

That’s why this practice welcomes all who resonate with the truth that healing starts when you give yourself permission to pause.

​

What We Do (and Why It Matters)

At My Melanin Wellness, we focus on helping you:
✔ Find relief from the stress that never seems to let up
✔ Set boundaries without guilt
✔ Navigate life transitions with clarity and confidence
✔ Heal from grief, burnout, or identity shifts
✔ Manage mental health alongside chronic illness

We believe wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. And you deserve it.

​

Who We Are

I’m Carlita L. Coley, founder of My Melanin Wellness. Over the last 15 years, I’ve walked with countless women through seasons of overwhelm and uncertainty into spaces of peace and purpose. And I’m not doing this work alone.

I lead a team of emerging and experienced clinicians who share my heart for culturally informed, compassionate care. Together, we create a space where you don’t have to explain your existence before you can begin your healing.
