We’re a few weeks into Black History Month, and hopefully you’ve had a chance to explore Atlanta’s Black landmarks, dive into books by Black authors and enjoy films created by Black artists — celebrating the richness and diversity of Black culture.

But let’s be honest, with everything going on at home and across the country, taking time for yourself can easily fall by the wayside.

That’s where Atlanta’s thriving Black-owned wellness scene comes in. From spas to Pilates studios to retreat centers, these spaces let you focus and prioritize your mental, emotional and physical well-being while supporting Black entrepreneurs.
