Self-Care Saturday: Hanging out with the girls

Remember self-care is not selfish, it is necessary.

DNP of Color 2023 Conference: Washington D.C.

I am so honored to serve as the wellness facilitator for this conference. It was truly amazing. I spent time with the presenters and did mindfulness and grounding sessions before their presentation. Wellness was integrated throughout the conference. So grateful that Zahariyah Body Mind and Spirit was able to be a part of. this amazing event. We are here to help make your next event amazing.

Young, Black, and Brilliant

I am so honored to introduce to the world Dr. Asty Merus who successfully defended her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree today. Project title: "The Impact of Sickle Cell Anemia Patients Using Mindfulness as an Adjunct for Pain Management."

I am honored to be part of her journey. As her mindfulness coach, I facilitated her 6 week mindfulness training. Dr. Merus developed a deeper awareness of mindfulness practices which impacted her life on a personal level, and she incorporated some of the mindfulness techniques in the intervention of the DNP project.

Her findings indicated that the mindfulness interventions were successful in decreasing the patient's pain level.

Additionally, Dr. Teresa Gore did an amazing job as her faculty and project chair. So please help me welcome Dr. Merus into the academy of scholars.

Dr. Derby-Davis.
