About NOVA EssenceIO
A Creative Wellness Company that empowers through play, self-care, creativity, and mindfulness.
NOVA Essence Inside Out is a creative wellness home for Black and Brown women who are ready to rest, restore, and rise. True well-being is about harmony. Mind, body, community, and soul. Every NOVA experience is designed to nurture, inspire, and empower you to prioritize self-love and escape the daily stress. Our work is rooted in faith and the belief that you are worthy of rest, presence, and peace.
Your Pocket of Peace
Our signature framework is your path to intentional presence. Pause and breathe. Own your voice. Create your calm. Keep your boundaries. Express with intention. Trust yourself.
The Whole You
We care for the whole person across four pillars. Social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Members unlock a growing library of guided content plus access to our vetted NOVA coaches. You are supported end to end, and never carrying it all alone.
Welcome to the Village
Every woman deserves a place to land. The Village is our community space for rest, restoration, and real connection. Share your "I AM" statement, lean on women who understand, and help us build something supportive and purpose-filled. You do not have to do this alone.
Creative Wellness, Led With Heart
Guided by Empowerment Coach ACE, we turn self-care into a joyful, shared journey. From candle-making and breath work to affirmation journaling, healing feels like play. Step aboard Winnie's Way, the first and only candle wellness café in Long Island and New York, where handcrafted candles meet mindful connection.
