A collective healing space rooted in culture, care, and community.
Sanctuary Healing Quarters is a modern wellness collective and studio grounded in embodied practice, cultural care, and community connection. We bring together trauma-informed practitioners offering movement, somatic, and healing experiences—alongside access-forward programs supported by the Sanctuary HQ Foundation.
This is a space to move, breathe, gather, and heal—individually and together.
What We Are
A Collective
A curated network of wellness practitioners—yoga teachers, sound healers, acupuncturists, facilitators, and educators—who share a commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Collective members maintain autonomy over their work while participating in a shared ecosystem rooted in collaboration and access.
A Foundation
The Sanctuary HQ Foundation is our nonprofit arm, ensuring that cost, culture, and safety are not barriers to healing. Through the Foundation, we offer free and subsidized programming, community care initiatives, youth and family offerings, maternal health support, and partnerships that expand access beyond the studio walls.
Embodiment is a practice, not a performance.
Space to return
to yourself.
Why We Exist
Despite growing interest in wellness, many people remain excluded by cost, culture, and safety of space. Sanctuary HQ exists to change that—by building a model where high-quality care and community access are not separate goals, but shared ones.
This is not just a studio.
It’s a collective.
It’s a community anchor.
It’s a place to practice healing—one breath at a time.
Our mission is simple and ambitious: to expand access to embodied healing, movement, and mental wellness for Black, Brown, and global-majority communities through collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally grounded programming.
Our Approach
We believe healing happens in the body and in relationship.
Our approach is:
-
Trauma-informed — honoring choice, autonomy, and nervous system regulation
-
Culturally grounded — centering lived experience, identity, and community wisdom
-
Access-forward — integrating nonprofit support into a for-profit collective model
-
Embodied — prioritizing movement, breath, and presence over performance
Sanctuary HQ is intentionally designed for people who want to slow down, reconnect, and practice care in community.
Healing happens in community.
Founder & Executive Director
Sanctuary HQ was founded by Danielle Jenkins Henry, a licensed marriage and family therapist, wellness leader, and Seattle native.
Danielle brings over a decade of experience spanning global operations, digital media, and community-centered mental health. After a career in operations at Microsoft, she founded Dream Life Out Loud, PLLC and scaled the practice from a solo operation into a multi-therapist clinical group—designing the systems, supervision structures, and care models needed to support growth from one to eleven clinicians. Her work centers on supporting high-capacity individuals and families, particularly Black women and professionals navigating stress, leadership, and identity.
Sanctuary HQ represents an expansion of that work: a physical space where embodied wellness, collective care, and access live side by side.
A Garfield Bulldog who grew up in neighboring Skyway, Danielle now lives and works in the community she calls home—often alongside her 9-year-old son.
