JOTINA BUCK, MAC, LCDC-I, LPC-A (supervisor Dr. Cheryl Ivory) With over 15 years of experience in education, counseling, positive psychology and studying human behavior, what I know for sure is this is the work my soul must have. In the past, I lovingly & joyfully practiced as a school based mental health practitioner in public education. My heart beats for educators, black mamas, and black & brown children’s wellness. I served as a guiding healer & support with the whole child, the whole parent/family, & the whole educator. I am deeply passionate about healthy & thriving ecosystems in education, as well as mentally whole communities. I’m an advocate of body kindness, mental health care, life's play, creating safe & brave spaces for LGBTQIA+ youth in schools, and intuitively sitting with communities to help heal in the spaces in between through mental health care. Over the years my soul’s work has manifested in various forms. I have written personal development books, hosted empowerment gatherings, shared messages as a public speaker, served as an educator, school counselor, and mobilized on-ground support for marginalized communities in need both locally & abroad. Today my soul’s work is manifesting by listening & looking at what’s here now to help heal as a mental health therapist + yoga guide. Additionally, I engage in healing rituals, yoga + meditation, deep rest, sacred movement, unconditional love, intuitive counseling, sound healing, & being in life’s ease & grace.
