Community & Partnerships

True healing does not happen in a vacuum--it happens in community. Noir Touch & Rest collaborates with aligned organizations, holistic practitioners, and community spaces to build a robust ecosystem of care. Together, we can bring vital education, body awareness and restorative practices directly to the spaces where our people naturally gather. 

I am currently expanding partnerships in three distinct areas:

• Community Workshops & Edutainment: Invite me to your organization, non-profit, library, church, barbershop/hair salon. I partner with aligned businesses to host on-site platonic touch sessions, facilitate reproductive justice workshops, and provide shame-free adult pleasure- based education tailored to the Black communities needs. 

• The Healing Referral Network: It takes a village to support a healing body, especially when seeking care outside of the medical-industrial complex. I actively build alliances with trusted practitioners who prioritize holistic, culturally competent care over the traditional, profit-driven pharmaceutical model. If you are deeply knowledgeable about reproductive health, somatic healing, or mental wellness—whether you are a therapist, psychologist, pelvic floor specialist, herbalist, energy worker, or root-cause healer—I want to connect with you. My goal is to build a robust, trusted referral network so my clients, especially postpartum mothers, have a safe, aligned, and expansive village to lean on. 

• Community Artisans & Makers Partnerships: While true rest and body literacy are innate rights that do not require anything external, the items we invite into our healing spaces matter deeply. I actively reject mass-produced goods that prioritize profit over our wellness and often contain endocrine disruptors or harmful synthetics. Instead, I proudly partner with local seamstresses, makers, and artisans who craft intentional, body-safe enhancements. Whether it is supporting a creator who sews pure linen garments and mulberry silk headwraps, or an artisan crafting holistic care items, I love integrating and championing community-made goods that truly honor our bodily systems while circulating resources back into our village. 

As a society, we need to take vastly better care of the women who are so often neglected and expected to navigate the heavy, vulnerable transition of motherhood alone. The Community Care Fund is a direct way for allies and community members to financially support this mission and become the village these mothers deserve.

Please note that Noir Touch and Rest is not a non-profit organization; this fund operates as a direct mutual aid model. Your financial contributions go specifically toward sponsoring postpartum doula care for women who deeply need support, nourishment, and radical rest. Whether you choose to make a general donation to the fund or fully sponsor a mother's postpartum doula package, your contribution directly impacts a woman's healing journey.

My background in sexology, reproductive justice, and sexual health education deeply informs the safety of my private sessions, but taking these conversations to the larger collective is how we actively shift culture. True body literacy requires unlearning the shame and systemic neglect we have been taught, and replacing it with honest, empowering, and culturally competent education.

I am available to speak, educate, and facilitate workshops for organizations, universities, podcasts, and community events. My speaking and edutainment topics center around:

• The Politics of Radical Rest: Why stepping away from the hustle is our birthright, not a reward for burnout.

• Reclaiming Body Literacy: Understanding our anatomy and autonomy outside of the medical-industrial complex.

• Reproductive Justice & Postpartum Advocacy: Creating a village of care and holding systems accountable for the treatment of Black mothers and women of color.

• Shame-Free Pleasure Education: Honest conversations about adult pleasure-based education, nervous system regulation, and bodily sovereignty.
