Who We Are
Healing Oasis of the Soul is a community-centered nonprofit dedicated to making healing accessible to everyone.
Through donation-based services, workshops, and shared experiences, we create spaces where individuals can reconnect, restore, and grow — together.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help more people find inner peace, regardless of their ability to pay.
Through community support, we offer donation-based workshops, events, and one-on-one experiences that nurture connection, healing, and well-being.
Our Vision
To create a safe, inclusive space where individuals and communities can heal, connect, and thrive.
Why it Matters
Healing is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Healing Oasis of the Soul exists to remove barriers, build connection, and create spaces where people feel supported, seen, and empowered to grow.
Our Leadership
Ramona Turner is a former journalist turned massage therapist, Reiki Master, sound healer, yoga instructor, and guided meditation coach.
In 2021, during the height of the pandemic, she founded A Healing Place to support individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and uncertainty. What began as a response to collective need has grown into a collaborative healing space offering modalities such as Reiki, yoga, sound healing, meditation, support groups, and more.
Building on that foundation, Ramona co-founded Healing Oasis of the Soul to expand access to healing through donation-based sliding-scale services — because she believes healing should be accessible to everyone.
Heal, Thrive & Persevere — Together
