The founder and CEO of Woven Wellness, a nurturing wellness and support
space dedicated to uplifting and empowering new and expecting Black mothers.
Hi there, I'm Nyasha Rivera
MEET NYASHA
Later, as a therapist, she supported Black
women navigating trauma, major life transitions, and the pressure to “do it all.”
In 2013, she co-founded Sisters
Building Sisters in Brooklyn, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to helping Black women and girls
develop self-love, confidence, and purpose.
My passion for this work began long before motherhood
Then, in 2021, everything changed. While pregnant with her daughter, Nyasha realized just
how deeply broken the maternal care system was for Black women. She founded Woven
Wellness to fill the gap—ensuring Black moms receive the holistic, culturally affirming
support they deserve.
Nyasha is deeply committed to helping new moms:
✔ Trust their instincts without second-guessing themselves
✔ Set boundaries without guilt
✔ Prioritize their well-being to prevent burnout
Her philosophy? “When mothers center their own well-being, everyone and everything
connected to them thrives.” And she’s here to make sure you thrive, too.
When she’s not supporting moms, you’ll find Nyasha dancing, working out, or indulging in a
good romantic comedy. A gluten-free vegan, she also loves experimenting with Pinterest
recipes—always looking for a fresh twist on a healthy treat!
Focuses on culturally affirming care.
