About Us
You don’t need to try harder to heal.
You need a space where your body finally feels safe enough to let go.
If you’ve been holding it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly exhausted on the inside, you’re not broken and you’re not behind. Many people arrive here after trying therapy, self-help, or “pushing through,” only to realize that insight alone hasn’t brought the peace they’re looking for.
Healing shouldn’t feel like another performance.
It should feel like coming home to yourself.
This is where we slow things down, on purpose.
Alternative Healing was created for people who are tired of surviving and ready to feel whole. This space is for those who want more than symptom management people who want to understand why they feel the way they do and learn how to feel safe, grounded, and connected again.

A different kind of healing approach
I’m Dr. Ernesha Smith, a licensed therapist and holistic healing coach. I guide people from disconnection to wholeness by blending evidence-based therapy with holistic practices like somatic healing, breathwork, and sound therapy.
This work goes beyond talking about your experiences.
We focus on helping your body feel safe enough to release what it’s been holding so change doesn’t just make sense intellectually, it actually sticks.
Real healing happens when we address what’s underneath the patterns, reactions, and emotional exhaustion not when we pretend everything is fine.
we are here to help

What makes this space different
Inside Alternative Healing, you won’t be pressured to “fix” yourself or rush toward a breakthrough.
Instead, you’ll be supported in:
-
Slowing down and listening to your body
-
Understanding emotional and trauma responses without shame
-
Releasing stored stress and emotional pain safely
-
Rebuilding trust in yourself and your inner signals
-
Creating balance that feels sustainable, not forced
This is about long-term healing, not quick relief that fades.
Inside the Healing Circle
The Healing Circle is a guided healing space designed to support you through consistent, gentle, and intentional practices. Inside the Circle, I don’t position myself as the expert over your life.
I serve as a guide offering structure, insight, and grounded direction while you reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
You’ll find tools, practices, and reflections that help you:
-
Feel regulated instead of overwhelmed
-
Gain clarity instead of confusion
-
Build confidence instead of self-doubt
-
Experience peace without disconnecting from real life
You’re not here to be fixed.
You’re here to be supported as you remember who you are.
Your journey begins here
You don’t have to do this alone.
And you don’t have to rush to be worthy of healing.
