Pathways to Thriving
A maternal and family wellbeing initiative grounded in community care
Pathways to Thriving
Pathways to Thriving is Majestic Community Wellness’s flagship maternal and family wellbeing initiative, designed to support mothers, infants, caregivers, and families through consistent, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded care.
Grounded in the Majestic Healing Pathways™ model, Pathways to Thriving recognizes that maternal wellbeing does not happen in isolation. Healing unfolds over time — through breath, movement, rest, relationship, and community — especially in the context of caregiving, chronic stress, and systemic inequities.
This initiative centers the lived experiences of Black and Brown mothers and families who face persistent barriers to care, while remaining welcoming and accessible to all who are seeking support.
A maternal and family wellbeing initiative grounded in community care
Why Pathways to Thriving Exists
Many mothers and caregivers are navigating:
Chronic stress and exhaustion
Emotional overwhelm and isolation
Postpartum mood changes or trauma
Lack of culturally responsive care
Limited access to affordable, consistent support
Pathways to Thriving was created to respond to these realities with care that is relational, consistent, and rooted in dignity — not one-time interventions or prescriptive solutions.
We believe maternal and family wellbeing is strengthened when people are supported week after week, in spaces where they feel seen, respected, and safe.
