Our Story

Two Black, first-generation women from City Heights, San Diego

Growing up in an area with limited resources, we saw firsthand how wellness is often treated as a luxury rather than a necessity. After years of working professionally with families, we realized that while support exists for children, the women holding everything together are often overlooked.

We founded Nisa Wellness Center to change that. We understand the reality of what women deal with, from the mental load of childcare to the lack of comfortable spaces. We are building a place where women can finally focus on their own health in a community that truly understands their journey.

Our Mission

"To create a safe and inclusive space where women and youth can prioritize their health and well-being while building a community that empowers and supports individuals."

Our Core Values

These principles guide everything we do at Nisa Wellness Center.

🤝

Community

The bonds formed through shared experiences and mutual support are the foundation of our center. Together, we uplift one another and grow stronger.

Empowerment

We believe in the power of women to create change within themselves and their communities. Our center serves as a platform for personal growth.

Inclusivity

We welcome immigrant/refugees, military families, single mothers, foster mothers, and women with disabilities. Every woman belongs here.

🌿
