Description of Services
Wellness Assessments
Wellness Assessments are offered as a stand alone or in conjunction with coaching services. Wellness Assessments help you and I identify your current holistic health and wellness strengths as well as areas in which you could benefit from growth. Through intentionally bringing focus to areas in your life where you are languishing, you can choose to activate your power to impact that area in an effort to optimize your ability to flourish. The areas of your life that make up your whole being, and overall health, impact one another. Growth in one area, will equate in growth in other areas. You will find that areas of strength become even stronger as you optimize your health in other areas.
My wellness assessments include exploring the areas of mindful awareness, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, rest and relaxation, meaningful work, finances, relationships, environment, spirituality, conventional medical care, and complimentary healthcare.
Wellness Assessment (60 mins-1.5 hours) $200
Wellness Assessments are offered as a stand alone for those who are interested in exploring their overall wellness yet currently uninterested in partnering in coaching.
Group Health Coaching
Group coaching is offered in small groups of 4-10 members. Group coaching incorporates a structured didactic period focused on one of the Emory Health Compass: Eight Points to Good Health and Happiness, and peer and coach support around each members actions toward individual health goals.
Group coaching allows for learning and support from others who too value health and wellness and are making efforts to optimize their overall well-being.

Holistic Health and Wellness for Black Women: 2 Week Module on Mindfulness and Mindfulness Meditation
On Wednesdays April 10th & 17th, 2024, I am offering a 2 week course on Mindfulness and Mindfulness Meditation. The sessions will be held from 7:30pm-8:45pm (EST), via Zoom.
In these two gatherings we will discuss the practice of mindfulness meditation and mindfulness in everyday life. Mindfulness is the awareness of the present moment, moment to moment, without judgement. Mindfulness allows us to show up in our lives more fully and wisely. Over the course of the two weeks I highlight how mindfulness can support self-awareness and Black women's resilience by informing self-care. I work from the view of resilience as the ability to repeatedly find your way back to love, joy, inner peace, hope, and connection.
The cost for participation is $50.00 which covers both sessions.
You can register and learn more about this offering at, Mindfulness.
This offering is specifically for Black women.
Mindfully Self-Empowered: a mindfulness course for Black Men
TBD
Virtual via Zoom
Does inner peace feel elusive?
Do you frequently feel overwhelmed?
Constantly grinding and hustling?
Not enough time to do what you love?
Don't feel as connected as you'd like to family, friends, work, hobbies, or life in general?
If you answered yes to any of these questions I'd like to invite you to join me for this 2-week course on mindfulness.
My name is Dominique Harmon. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and yoga instructor with a passion for holistic health and wellness. For the past 4 years I have offered holistic health and wellness courses for Black women focused on optimizing mental health and wellbeing. Now, after several requests, I am offering this course just for Black men.
We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. Our degree of wellness exists on a spectrum. I like to think of optimal mental health and wellness being one end of the spectrum and the other end of the spectrum being debilitating mental illness. We have the power to improve our mental health just like we have the power to positively impact our physical health. And, the mind and body are deeply connected. So, when we intentionally engage in actions that support our mental health we also support our physical health.
In this course we will discuss the practice of mindfulness meditation and mindfulness in everyday life. Mindfulness is the intentional awareness of the present moment, absent of judgement. Mindfulness offers us the opportunity to show up in our lives more fully and wisely. The goal of this course is to support you in using mindfulness to increase self-awareness. But we won't stop there. The next step will be to learn how to use self-awareness to inform your self-care. Yes, men need self-care too. We will define stress and self-care; discuss resilience; and start the exploration of what a life lived on purpose means for you. I define resilience as the ability to repeatedly find your way back to love, joy, inner peace, hope, and connection. This course is all about supporting you in activating your ability to create a lifestyle that allows you to exist more and more in the presence of those feelings.
Total cost for participation in both sessions: $50
