Grow, Heal and Flourish
Welcome to Empowered Wellbeing
A Global Digital Platform for Nervous System Healing, Emotional Balance, and Self-Discovery.
There’s a story behind every person who finds their way here.
Maybe you’re tired.
Maybe you’ve been running on empty, functioning in survival mode while the world applauds your strength.
Maybe you’ve smiled through depression, cried in silence, or numbed out just to make it through the day.
I see you because I’ve been you.
Empowered Wellbeing was not built from theory.
It was born from a personal fight for wholeness.
From the depths of depression.
From days where getting out of bed felt impossible.
From anxiety that felt like it owned my body.
From the silent scream of holding it all in while showing up for everyone else.
And in the middle of that pain, I found my path not back to who I was,
but forward to who I was always becoming.
This is more than a wellness space.
This is a trauma-informed, mental-health-centered movement
where healing is allowed to be messy, gentle, embodied, and sacred.
We don’t bypass.
We don’t rush.
We don’t shame you for struggling.
Here, your nervous system matters.
Your emotions matter.
You matter.
Because healing is a mental health journey, not a performance.
If you’re here, you’re likely holding invisible battles.
You may look high-functioning, but inside you’re unraveling.
You’re doing “all the things,” yet you feel numb, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted.
We hold space for that.
We honor that.
And we walk with you through it at your pace, with compassion
About Empowered Wellbeing
At Empowered Wellbeing, we believe healing begins with the courage to reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your truth.
We are a trauma-informed wellness community offering tools and practices rooted in Somatics, nervous system regulation, yoga, breathwork, and integrative healing. But we’re more than just a wellness brand we are a movement for those navigating the weight of stress, anxiety, and depression and looking for a safe space to come back home to themselves.
Our founder, Latonyia, created this space out of her own healing journey through mental health challenges. What began as a personal path to emotional survival became a global mission to help others find wholeness in the midst of chaos.
Whether you’re moving through grief, burnout, depression, or the quiet overwhelm of daily life you belong here.
We believe:
• Healing is not linear
• Your body holds wisdom
• You are not broken
• You deserve peace, purpose, and power
Through somatic programs, workshops, virtual memberships, and community support, we help you move from survival mode to a state of embodied peace one breath, one step, one moment at a time.
Welcome to the revolution.
Welcome to Empowered Wellbeing.
Meet the Founder
“Empowering you to heal, reconnect, and thrive because healing is a journey we take together.”
I remember the day like it was yesterday I was drowning in my own depression, barely holding it together. In the middle of a workday, a small whisper came through:
“Go to yoga on your lunch break.”
That single moment changed everything.
What started as a quiet act of survival became the beginning of my healing and now, I’m building a global revolution to help others through their own darkest moments with mental health.

"“I have had the pleasure of knowing Latonyia for almost a year now, and her weekly yoga sessions in our Cortland community have been truly transformative. Every week, she leads us through an hour of calm, movement, and mindfulness, creating a space that feels both refreshing and rejuvenating. Beyond the practice itself, catching up with her a few minutes before class has become a small but meaningful ritual—a time for lighthearted chats that feel as healing as the session itself. Her warm presence, guidance, and energy have not only helped me physically but have also brought a sense of peace and balance to my mind. These sessions have become a much-needed break that I always look forward to. I am incredibly grateful for the positivity and serenity that Latonyia brings to our practice each week.” "
