You're not crazy.
You're just tired.

I create spaces where your nervous system can finally rest — and you can hear yourself think again. This is regulated leadership. This is the return.

"Rest is not a reward. It is the work."

About Omi

This isn't a
reinvention.
It's a return.

I built Black Girl Ventures from nothing — a teepee in my living room, t-shirts, marbles in coffee cups as pitch judges. I ran hard for a decade. And in 2022, I hit a wall that a week off couldn't fix. A month off couldn't fix. I needed something deeper.

A three-month sabbatical and a deep dive into nervous system regulation later, I realized: I had always been a healer. I just needed to rest long enough to remember.

Now I create spaces where leaders, founders, and high performers can finally stop racing to prove themselves — and come home to who they actually are.

A full-day, fully curated 1:1 immersive wellness experience. Yoga Nidra, sound bath, breathwork, Reiki, and a light meal — all held in a safe, private space designed around you and your nervous system.

People walk in rating their rest at 4 or 5 out of 10. They leave at 9s and 10s. Every time.

People Impacted

It has offered me the wisdom to simply embrace rest and relaxation, knowing I don't have to earn it or prove myself worthy of it. Rest creates sacred space to recharge the spirit and nourish the soul.

Anika Hobbs

Rest and relaxation is a form of work. Doing the work to allow your body to rest is a part of health and wellness. This was a reminder to prioritize the spiritual and physical work required to rest.

Kendra Woolridge

You are a healer, a poet, and an entrepreneur on a path inspired by the Ancestors. You are creating sacred spaces so that people can move towards peace. Keep shining.
