Mindful Legacy is a holistic practice grounded in liberatory and somatic approaches. We believe that our liberation is tied together and can be found through healing. We provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Shekila is a licensed therapist in Virginia and Tennessee with 12 years of professional work experience. She holds a Master's Degree in Counseling and a PhD in Counselor Education. She believes in honoring the power the client holds to heal themselves, to create a space where individuals feel seen and their pain met with compassion and dignity.

My practice integrates Relational Cultural Theory, Somatic approaches, and liberation-based healing. RCT emphasizes connection, empathy, and cultural impact on worldview. Somatic methods support body awareness and nervous system regulation. I also use liberatory practices rooted in Indigenous and Afrocentric principles to promote healing.
