Healing Together
Our Commitment to Native Healing
At Native Wellness and Healing, we honor the power of traditional Indigenous healing practices as essential to long-term recovery. Our Native Healing Program is grounded in the understanding that true healing must address not only the physical, but also the spiritual, emotional, and cultural dimensions of wellness. Through community- informed care, we create a space where clients can reconnect with their identity, culture, and ancestral roots.
This is more than tradition—it is evidence-based. A growing body of scholarly research affirms the effectiveness of Indigenous-centered recovery models. Practices such as sweat lodge ceremonies, talking circles, storytelling, and the Wellbriety approach have been shown to significantly improve engagement, retention, and overall recovery outcomes for both Native and non-Native individuals. Our program combines these culturally grounded methods with clinical support to offer a holistic, trauma-informed path to sobriety and healing.

The Purpose
What We Offer
At Native Wellness and Healing, we begin each journey with sacred sweat lodge ceremonies and smudging to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. Respected elders then guide talking circles, creating a safe space for sharing stories and wisdom.
Our programs weave in the holistic Medicine Wheel teachings—balancing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health at every step. For those on the path to recovery, we offer a Wellbriety-informed 12-Step framework that honors cultural strengths alongside proven recovery practices.
Throughout the year, we celebrate seasonal cultural events and feasts, bringing community together in ceremony and song. Finally, every participant is paired with an Indigenous mentor, ensuring peer support rooted in lived experience and traditional guidance.
The Care
Why It Matters
- Indigenous communities carry unique trauma and healing pathways
- Cultural disconnection is often part of the root cause
- Reclaiming ceremony and identity supports long-term sobriety
Rationale
- Research shows culturally grounded care improves engagement, belonging, and recovery outcomes (Guerrero et al., 2013; Gone & Calf Looking, 2011)
- Historic trauma from colonization and boarding schools has deeply impacted Native health (Brave Heart et al., 2011)
- Traditional practices like sweat lodges, talking circles, and storytelling are proven to boost sobriety and mental wellness (Dickerson et al., 2016; Venner et al., 2018)
