This is a paid piece from Circles of Care by Selah Space.

Simplified: The women who need holistic healing are, as Selah Space founder Jada Dobesh puts it, "technically, fine." They're not visibly unwell or in pain. But it's those invisible forces – the stress, the unresolved trauma, the tension held in the body – that need to be addressed. And Circles of Care is here to help with the annual Nominate Her campaign.

Why it matters

  • Circles of Care, the nonprofit arm of holistic healing cooperative Selah Space, formed two years ago to fill a gap providers were noticing among their clients. Often, a multi-faceted healing journey can feel overwhelming – not to mention the financial burden. Nominate Her gives the community a chance to both support women's healing and nominate specific women to receive that care.
  • About 80% of autoimmune dysfunction occurs in women, Selah Space founder Jada Dobesh said, and women often defer taking care of themselves because they're so busy taking care of everyone else's needs first.
  • Circles of Care helps women who are already investing in their healing to be able to get even more well-rounded care with multiple providers. That includes women like one of last year's Nominate Her recipients, who's been able to add physical therapy to support her body through her journey of trying to conceive, as well as continuing her spiritual healing with Jada Dobesh Healing.
"When we are taking care of women more holistically and more sustainably, the whole community benefits," Dobesh said.

Tell me more

Participating in the Nominate Her campaign is very simple (we love that around here).

The goal is to raise at least $5,000 before the end of the month to support scholarships for as many women as possible.

Can I nominate myself?

Absolutely. The process is the same as above.

What happens next?

Once the campaign is over, the Circles of Care board will meet to select scholarship recipients based on the nominations received.

The Nominate Her fundraiser will also culminate in a Cookie Exchange for Circles of Care on Dec. 4 at Selah Space.

  • Attendees can bring either a $40 donation, or two dozen cookies with a $20 donation to participate in a cookie exchange. Find event details here.
