What is wellness and how do I begin my wellness journey? An interview with wellness coach Nzingah Oniwosan

What is wellness? How can women start their wellness journey during Covid-19? What is society’s outlook on wellness? Do western medicine and holistic wellness go together? How long will my wellness journey take? How can I remain consistent on my wellness journey?

“Make acceptable goals. Don’t try to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when you barely walk in your neighborhood!”

In this interview, we sat down with Nzingah Oniwosan, my wellness coach, and talked about various topics such as holistic wellness, tips on starting your wellness journey, Nzingah’s wellness journey, how she is learning more about Haitian wellness practices, her travel experiences, and her favorite wellness spots.

Nzingah is a holistic health consultant and alchemist under her brand “Yes Baby I Like it Raw”. She currently lives in South Florida and guides people on their wellness journey. In addition Nzingah also is a visual artist, a poet, and founder of a small business incubator in Haiti.

Made of stardust

And a little bit of heaven.

...we are complicated, I love it!”
