Our Mission is to advance equality and inclusion in wellness services for LGBTQIA+ communities and wellness professionals. We believe that all wellness services should be LGBTQIA+ inclusive, affirming, and accessible and that work and learning environments must provide equal opportunity for LGBTQIA+ wellness professionals to succeed and thrive. To achieve this mission, Proud Wellness utilises the

expertise of its Proud Wellness Members to inform, educate and provide resources to both LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking support and businesses who want to improve the wellness services and products they offer to LGBTQIA+ people.

👋 Around 30%* of people in Brighton are LGBTQIA+. They’re already in your classes, your therapy rooms, and your wellness spaces. 🌈

…But do they feel safe enough to be fully themselves?

We know that many LGBTQIA+ people still never step foot inside a yoga studio, fitness space, or therapy room for fear of discrimination or harm. 💔

📌 So the question isn’t “Do I have LGBTQIA+ clients?” It’s “do they feel safe enough to be seen?”

📌 Right now, wellness is failing LGBTQIA+ people.

📣 Help us change that by joining us at Proud Allies: Awareness to Action, a community-led event for wellness practitioners, founders, and business owners. 🙌

📣 Building safer LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness spaces - together.

🌈Proud Allies ‘Live’ is here folks! 🥳

This in-person event is for wellness practitioners, coaches, therapists, and space holders.

If you want to build safer, more inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ people we’d love to see you there. 🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍🌈

Held during Pride Month, at the Iconic this is an opportunity to move beyond good intentions and into meaningful, values-led action - together.

The wellness space is changing, and the need for truly inclusive, affirming, and safer spaces has never been clearer.

Right now, too many LGBTQIA+ people still don’t feel safe or fully able to be themselves in wellness spaces.

This event is for those ready to play an active role in changing that. ❤️‍🔥

🏳️‍⚧️ March 31st is Trans+ Day of Visibility - but trans+ people need more than to be seen.

📢 They need equal rights.

📢 They need to feel safe.

📢 They need to be able to show up fully - especially in the wellness spaces that are meant to support them.

Visibility can feel vulnerable, exhausting, or simply out of reach when safety, access, and support aren’t there.

Right now, so many trans+ people are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.

So this can’t stop at awareness.

It has to move into action.

Swipe through for 5 ways to be a trans+ ally - practical ways you can show up, challenge discrimination, and actively support trans+ communities.

True solidarity is a lifelong commitment, not a one-time act, and we know you’re here for it! 🏳️‍⚧️

LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness isn’t a sentence on your website, a one-and-done, or a rainbow logo.

It’s the choices you make not only in your words, but in your spaces, your offers, and your presence.

It’s what your clients feel when they land in your work - not just what they read on your website.

Because for so many LGBTQIA+ people, wellness spaces don’t always feel welcoming, affirming, or built with them in mind.

And that has to change.

This carousel is an invitation to reflect honestly.

Where are you already showing up with intention?

Where are the places where better understanding and experience are needed?

This is the work our Directory members commit to.

If you’re ready to deepen your LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness practice, come and join our Directory community (100 amazing humans, and growing!) 💫

💫 100 wellness practitioners.

💫 One shared commitment.

In less than 3 years, 100 practitioners across the UK have joined our Proud Wellness Directory.

Together they’re helping to shift the wellness industry by:

✅ Raising inclusion standards in wellness.

✅ Expanding access to LGBTQIA+ inclusive wellness services, spaces + communities.

✅ Making it easier for LGBTQIA+ people to find practitioners they can trust.

Real change rarely happens all at once.

It happens when more and more people decide to do things differently.

And this growing community of practitioners is showing exactly how that change can happen.

If you’re a wellness practitioner who believes inclusion should be the standard, we’d love you to join us.

🏳️‍🌈 Trailblazing wellness: Magnus Hirschfeld (he/him)

This LGBT+ History Month, we’re honouring the LGBTQIA+ figures who shaped the wellness industry we know today — and whose legacies continue to influence the affirming, inclusive care our communities need today.

✨ Magnus Hirschfeld (1868–1935) was a gay, Jewish physician and one of the earliest pioneers of LGBTQ+ sexual health and wellbeing.

As the founder of the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin, he created one of the world’s first centres offering compassionate counselling, sexual health care and early gender-affirming support.

At a time when q***r lives were criminalised and stigmatised, Hirschfeld was unwavering: LGBTQ+ people deserved dignity, safety and care — not punishment or shame.

His work laid vital foundations for the q***r-affirming wellness practices we continue to build and defend today.

📣 And just as importantly — we’re here now!

Our 🌈Proud Wellness directory connects LGBTQIA+ people with verified, inclusive and affirming wellness professionals.

Whether you’re seeking support yourself— or you’re committed to creating safer spaces as a practitioner — you don’t have to do it alone.

Explore the directory (link in our bio) and continue trailblazing wellness! 🏳️‍🌈🌟🏳️‍⚧️
