About Madre Wellness

Madre Wellness was founded as a community centered approach to promote health equity and embodied leadership

The work is grounded in the understanding that sovereignty over one’s well-being is possible when we tune in and prioritize the alignment of our physical, emotional and energetic bodies

Madre exists to offer a different way forward - one that centers regulation, embodiment, and sustainability

Madre is led by Maricella Nayeri, a strategic public health and organizational development professional with over 15 years of experience across healthcare, education, nonprofit, and community‑based systems.

Her approach blends embodied and intuitive practices with trauma‑informed, equity‑centered, and systems‑aware facilitation — shaped by years of supporting individuals and organizations through complex change.

We have found that at times, information we need is not always readily available which is why we have decided to create what we hope will become an expansive and ever-evolving resource for all within the Mke area.
