Tea Bath House
Taking Your Self Care Regimen to the next level
The Journey to Love starts with embracing the gift of Loving Yourself.
-Tea Bath House
Tea Bath House was conceived in 2017 from my desire to share my personal self-care routines with women like me. My journey began at the challenging threshold of adulthood—20 years old with a toddler, overwhelmed and full of doubt. I was determined to figure life out, mistakenly believing that embodying the "Strong Independent Black Woman" archetype was the answer.
I soon discovered that this mindset was flawed—mentally, physically, and spiritually detrimental.
Feeling as if I were drowning, I returned to the water. The simplicity of a regular bathing regimen sparked my healing process. I began to cultivate a love for nature and herbal teas, indulging in weekly gifts of flowers. Later, when a dear friend introduced me to essential oils, it added an exhilarating new dimension to my journey. I rekindled my journaling practice and set aside a weekly date to bathe and care for myself—a ritual that healed my heart and transformed my outlook.
While I was developing my own healing rituals, life continued to unfold. In 2004, I had the privilege of learning from Dr. Herbsistah (Dr. Wild Indigo), who shared her herbal wisdom and the "Wisdom of the Grandmommas." She welcomed me into the Plant Sistah Village, renaming me Reishi and certifying me as a Wombloveologist. Ovario!
Yet, I remained conflicted. On one hand, I embraced time-tested healing methods—detoxing with herbs, fasting, and even herbal enemas—to overcome personal challenges like sugar addiction. On the other hand, I struggled under the weight of the "Strong Independent Black Woman" ideal.
In 2005, I discovered Queen Afua's Sacred Woman Book—a book that spoke to me powerfully, even if I wasn’t ready for it at the time. It wasn’t until fall 2020 that I heard my call: “Sacred Women! It’s time to Rise!” I joined Queen Afua's Sacred Woman Program and was initiated into the Sacred Woman Global Village in January 2021. We are here, and we do remember!
In 2008, when my daughter was born and developed eczema, I sought natural solutions beyond the steroids prescribed by doctors. I discovered Calendula Oil and blended it with other natural oils to create a healing butter. The results were astonishing, and the Calendula Flower has since become the cherished mascot of Tea Bath House.

After 20 years on my personal journey—and 12 years for my daughter—the name Tea Bath House was born, complete with a logo designed by her. Established in 2020 with the support of my trusted clients, co-workers, family, and friends who believe in my vision, Tea Bath House stands as a testament to holistic healing.
The Sacred Woman Course deepened my journey by helping me to begin to identify the toxic behaviors of the "Strong Independent Black Woman" archetype that had been silently harming me. More importantly, it validated my spiritual perspective and taught me to embrace my inner knowing with confidence.
My mission with Tea Bath House is to elevate our self-care and self-love practices through the transformative ritual of bathing. With over 30 years as a hairstylist, I have met many incredible women and noticed a common thread among women of color—a need to fall deeper in love with ourselves.
My vision is to embody the Clean Black Woman in mind, body, and soul, guiding her to understand that true healing begins with water. Through bathing, I aim to reestablish a culturally rooted regimen of care and healing.
