Welcome to Ancestral Love Oasis. Founded in sacred partnership by Carlisa J. Hurtt and Dr. Nwabu Phendulu, two visionary women. Weaving ancestral wisdom with modern transformation, this holistic wellness sanctuary is a living portal for healing, awakening, and embodied leadership.
Together, Dr. Nwabu and Carlisa blend ancient and indigenous healing traditions, elemental medicine, tantric embodiment, somatic practices, and intuitive guidance to aid your journey home to yourself.
Here, personal healing becomes ancestral healing, self-love becomes communal liberation, and every breath is an opportunity to remember your power, reclaim your joy, and live in alignment with your sacred purpose.
