Shalonda Nicholson
Born in Monterey, California, and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Shalonda is a dedicated mother to her 16-year-old son and a former hairstylist with 15 years of experience. Her journey to creating this program began as she sought to heal from years of complex trauma. When her son’s father was tragically killed, leaving her to raise him alone, Shalonda faced a path marked by profound loss, including the tragic deaths of close family members and the heartbreak of a long-term relationship ending. Later, she lost the use of her arm due to environmental poisoning, which ended her hairstyling career.
Through these challenges, Shalonda leaned on her faith and pursued professional Christian counseling with Dr. Stanley Archie in Kansas City. After years of hard work, intentional healing, and personal growth, she felt called to share her experience and guide others on their own healing journeys. Her Intentional Healing Therapy program reflects the resources, wisdom, and resilience she gained along the way, offering support and hope to those seeking healing.
