A Day to Heal, Connect, and Grow

 

THRIVE is the HEM Foundation's annual mind-body wellness event designed to support individuals and families affected by sickle cell and other chronic conditions, along with healthcare providers who walk beside them.

THE STORY BEHIND THRIVE

THRIVE was born from my own healing journey — one that taught me how deeply our mind, body, and spirit are connected. As a Hematology Nurse Practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand how stress, emotional strain, and trauma can influence physical health — and how learning to regulate the nervous system can transform well-being.

 

What began as my personal path to healing has evolved into a space to empower both patients and providers. The truth is, how regulated we are — as caregivers, as clinicians, as human beings — is part of the medicine we offer others.

​​

WHAT IS THRIVE?

THRIVE is an annual mind-body wellness event consisting of a full-day experience blending education, mindfulness, and holistic healing to nurture the mind and body. Participants learn practical ways to reduce stress and pain, strengthen resilience, and restore balance — while connecting with others on the same path toward healing. 

​

WHY WE DO IT

THRIVE was created to help both patients and providers build skills that support mental health, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. It’s where science meets soul — and where we remember that healing is a shared journey.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT

Each THRIVE experience includes:

  • Mindset and Stress Relief: Tools like breathwork, mindfulness, and EFT to calm the body and mind.

  • Movement and Healing Practices: Gentle exercises and fascia-focused movement to improve flow and ease pain.

  • Nutrition and Recovery: Learning how food, hydration, and rest affect energy, mood, and healing.

  • Patient–Provider Connection: Honest conversations that strengthen empathy, compassion, and collaboration in care.

  • Sound and Frequency Sessions: Immersive practices to restore harmony and coherence.

​

OUR IMPACT

THRIVE participants consistently share that they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more hopeful.

Many describe improved pain, stress, and mood — but more than that, they leave with new tools and a renewed belief in their ability to influence their own health.​

​

THRIVE is a reminder that healing isn’t something we do alone — it’s something we experience together.

When we nurture our own balance, we help others find theirs.

 

 

Transform. Empower. Thrive.
