THE SWEETNESS OF HONEY & CHI

Restoring power, dignity, and wholeness to our community.

Our Story

The foundation of Honey & Chi was born from a truth I have understood since adolescence: being human is already challenging—and for Black and Brown people, that challenge can be multiplied by systems that too often deny our worth. In a world that urges BIPOC communities to shrink themselves to stay “safe”, I dreamed of creating a sanctuary where we could expand, be affirmed, and live in the fullness of our expression.

​

From an early age, I envisioned a comprehensive community collective where Black and Brown people could come together, fortify themselves, and have their humanity honored. A place where individuals could find both genuine community and effective tools to thrive. That vision has guided my path—through study and work as a psychotherapist, energy worker, teacher, and community cultural worker—so that I could serve with both heart and skill.

​

Honey & Chi is a living expression of that vision. It exists to provide highly effective, compassionate, and culturally responsive services that meet our community where we are and walk with us toward who we are becoming.

​

  • Through Community Wellness for Women, Honey & Chi offers BIPOC women sacred, restorative spaces for collective healing, sisterhood, and resilience. These circles and workshops affirm that wellness is not a luxury, but a birthright.
     

  • Through Holistic Life-Coaching for Black Professionals, Honey & Chi provides high-touch, tailored support for those navigating the double labor of excellence and stereotype disapproval. Our coaching blends modern therapeutic approaches with ancestral practices to reduce burnout, strengthen self-worth, and restore alignment with authentic power.
     

At its heart, Honey & Chi is more than a service—it is a movement of restoration and renewal. A place where our brilliance and our being coexist. A sanctuary where community is celebrated, healing is possible, and every client is reminded: you are worthy, you are powerful, you are whole.

"I listen - fully present. Allowing folks to tell me who they are today and what got them there. Together, we devise then immerse in sustainable healing systems that my clients can use to heal themselves far beyond our time together."

MEET THE FOUNDER

Vesta Walker, LCSW

Vesta is the daughter of a long legacy of mental health professionals, herbalists, energy workers, creatives and community caretakers. Beginning her career as a Clinical Social Worker 15 years ago, Vesta has served as a therapist in some of the most challenging settings, supporting adults, adolescents, both nationally and internationally.

 

Vesta was raised in a household where her mom was constantly sought-out for herbal remedies by members of the community. Vesta's Rastafarian dad always stressed of the importance of a natural diet to her and her sister. Her grandmother - who lived in the home - was a psychiatric nurse of over 25-years, and kept a regular caseload of individuals and families that she provided with free counseling in her basement work-space. Vesta took these examples to heart, and they watered the seed that grew into Honey & Chi.

 

After earning her Bachelor of Psychology from St. John's University and a Master of Social Work degree from New York University, Vesta became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Reiki Master, Supreme Science Qigong Instructor and trained in many other healing modalities - guided by the belief that an individual's healing regimen is best to be as unique as they are.

 

Over the years, Vesta has been dedicated to partnering with everyone from CEO's to folks without homes, providing quality holistic tools to support them in gaining more effective ways to heal and align with their authentic selves. For the past 10 years, she has been doing humanitarian work in Sierra Leone, West Africa and is in the process of building the community center she has dreamed of since childhood.
