Imagine a world where holistic wellness is accessible to everyone, no matter where they are. Our mobile unit is a step toward making that vision a reality, but we need your help to acquire, renovate, and transform this unit into a fully equipped, welcoming space that can bring healing, hope, and holistic care to communities that need it most.

Our Mission

At Holistic Soul House, we believe wellness should be accessible to everyone. With our mobile unit, we aim to provide holistic health services—including health coaching, meditation, and nutritional counseling—to underserved communities, rural areas, and individuals unable to access traditional wellness spaces. Many communities across America lack adequate mental health outreach services, and this is where we see an opportunity to make a real difference.

We specialize in Culinary Therapy, a unique approach that blends the benefits of family-style meals and culinary art therapy principles. This combination serves as a vehicle for healing, fostering thought-provoking, guided dialogue in a nurturing, safe space. By using the shared experience of preparing and eating meals together, participants can benefit from the therapeutic effects of connection and creative expression. Our holistic model addresses both physical and emotional health, making it an ideal complement to other wellness services.

Market research reveals that cities such as Chicago and Atlanta currently lack services like our Culinary Therapy experiences, and that presents an exciting opportunity for Holistic Soul House to fill this gap. By leading the family-meal benefits movement and raising awareness of behavioral, physical, and social well-being, we are tapping into the growing health and wellness market. Outreach mobile health services can help bridge this gap by meeting people where they are—physically and emotionally. These services could include community-based mental health programs, peer support initiatives, and our Culinary Therapy experiences, making mental health care more approachable and integrated into daily life.

With Your Help, We Can Make This Vision a Reality

We are ready to take our Culinary Therapy program to the next level by creating a fully mobile space that can bring this therapeutic experience to communities that need it most. With your support, we can expand our reach, upgrade our equipment, and create a safe, sustainable, and functional space for healing.

Why We Need Your Help

Our current Culinary Therapy experience has been a great success, but it’s in urgent need of a mobility component to meet the growing demand for our services. Your contribution will allow us to:

Upgrade Equipment: Install an 8-person dining area, eco-friendly flooring, and a modern cooking area.
Create a Soothing Yet Engaging Space: Redesign the interior to be calming, yet functional, including soft lighting and welcoming décor.
Enhance Sustainability: Integrate solar panels and energy-efficient systems for a more eco-friendly, self-sufficient unit.

How Your Donation Will Be Used

Here’s a breakdown of our funding goal and how your generosity will make a difference:

$10,000 – Purchase of used fully operational Coachman RV: The base vehicle for our mobile unit.
$8,000 – Interior renovations, repairs, permits, and registration: To ensure the unit is functional and legally compliant.
$5,000 – Culinary Art Therapy Curriculum, equipment, and supplies: Essential tools and materials to provide a therapeutic experience.
$3,000 – Sustainability additions and safety upgrades: Solar panels, energy-efficient systems, and safety features for long-term sustainability.
$2,000 – Final touches (wrap, décor, signage): A beautiful exterior wrap, soothing décor, and signage that make the unit a welcoming space for all.
