Our Story
The story of African Lotus Wellness (Alotwellness) is one of evolution and dedication, starting long before its formal founding in April 2022. Our journey began in 2000 when our founder initiated Strickly Fitness and Nutrition, offering trainings and teaching that laid the groundwork for what would become a transformative wellness initiative.
Building on over two decades of experience, Alotwellness was created with a powerful mission: to transform lives and promote healing in the south side of Chicago. What started as a modest six-week yoga program has blossomed into a comprehensive wellness initiative dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward balance and empowerment.
From the outset, Alotwellness has partnered with Pullman National Historical Park to offer free movement therapy services to the community. This collaboration allows us to provide accessible wellness programs for all who wish to join. Our strong, intentional relationships with the community, particularly with those affected by trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), have been the cornerstone of our foundation. We are committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that health and wellness are within everyone's reach.
