The Butterfly Series™

Cocoon Cleanse™

A seven-day pause to simplify, reconnect, and begin a more nourishing rhythm.

Cocoon Cleanse™ is a gentle introduction to gut-centered wellness for Black women who want to make space for themselves and explore manageable ways to care for their bodies.

Through gut-supportive nourishment, restorative practices, and daily reflection, this experience invites you to notice your current rhythms and try small changes that fit your life.

Rooted in the Melanin & Microbiome® philosophy of gut-centered, whole-body wellness, Cocoon Cleanse™ offers a starting point for discovering what helps you feel nourished, supported, and connected to yourself.

Cocoon Cleanse™ is currently being reimagined as part of the broader Butterfly Series™. Details about its next offering will be announced when available.

Gut-centered wellness. Practical rhythms. Meaningful fellowship.

Spring 2027 Founding Cohort
March 20–June 19, 2027 · Fully Virtual · Limited to Six Women

You may already know a lot about caring for your health. Making that knowledge work within your schedule, responsibilities, and energy is another story.

Cocooned™ offers a place to return to yourself, build supportive rhythms, and practice caring for your body alongside other Black women.

Over 90 days, we’ll explore gut-centered, whole-body wellness through Melanin & Microbiome’s four pillars: Immunity, Hormonal Balance, Mood + Brain Health, and Inflammation + Longevity. You’ll turn learning into manageable practices that reflect your life, with guidance, group coaching, and room to adjust as you discover what works for you.

Return. Rebuild. Emerge.

Return
Make space to understand your needs, notice your patterns, and choose what you want to work on.

Rebuild
Explore the four pillars, try supportive practices, and develop routines that work with the foods you enjoy, your resources, and your responsibilities.

Emerge
Enter summer with practices you have tried, a personal wellness plan, and a simpler rhythm for the weeks when life asks more of you.

A Place to Gather, Too

Fellowship is woven into Cocooned™.

This is a space for Black women to share experiences, exchange ideas, laugh, receive encouragement, and enjoy time together. Through our gatherings and private cohort space, you’ll have opportunities to know the women alongside you and be known in return.

You can come as you are—including during the weeks when your routines have slipped.

Your Cocooned™ Experience Includes

• Six live, 75-minute gatherings combining gut-centered education, guided activities, group coaching, and fellowship.

• A digital workbook to help you reflect, experiment, and build your personal wellness plan.

• Small, practical experiments between gatherings, adapted to your circumstances.

• A private virtual cohort space for connection, encouragement, questions, and resources, with scheduled facilitator support.

• Two optional social gatherings for enjoyment and connection.

• An emergence celebration within our final gathering.

What You’ll Carry Forward

You’ll work toward a practical takeaway from each pillar and bring those practices together into your own wellness plan: what fits your everyday life, what you can simplify during demanding weeks, and how you can return after an interruption.

The goal is a rhythm you can continue with consistency and compassion.

Is Cocooned™ for You?

Cocooned™ may be a good fit if you:

• Understand some healthy habits but want support applying them.

• Are tired of repeatedly starting over.

• Want gut-centered wellness guidance that keeps your whole life in view.

• Welcome learning and fellowship with other Black women.

• Can make room for six live gatherings and small practices over 90 days.

Private Wellness Concierge by Melanin & Microbiome™

Personal care. Thoughtful planning. One less thing on your plate.

You value your well-being. You already have a sense of what helps you feel your best. But knowing what to do doesn’t mean you have the time—or desire—to research your options, organize the details, and keep adjusting the plan.

You want someone you trust to handle that preparation, with care and personal attention.

The Tunza Chrysalis is a three-month private wellness concierge experience for Black women who want to delegate the planning and receive support that evolves with their lives.

Just as you might hire someone to care for your home, you can choose personal support to make caring for yourself easier. Your time matters. So does having someone who learns your preferences, understands your responsibilities, and thoughtfully prepares what you need.

Wellness planned around your life

We begin with an in-depth conversation about your goals, preferences, household, and daily rhythms. From there, I prepare a personalized, gut-centered wellness roadmap grounded in Melanin & Microbiome’s four pillars and shaped around your preferences, schedule, and everyday routines.

I take the research and planning off your plate—finding options that fit your preferences, organizing the steps, and preparing a clear weekly plan across the everyday wellness priorities we agree to focus on.

The details are personal: perhaps you prefer one grocery store for pantry staples and a farmers market for fresh produce. I build those preferences into your plan, taking your schedule and household needs into account.

From navigating meals during a demanding workweek to making room for rest and restorative routines, I work through the details for you. As your schedule, preferences, or everyday circumstances change, I revise the plan, so you have personal support that keeps pace with your life.

Your private experience includes

• Your personalized, gut-centered wellness roadmap: An in-depth intake followed by a practical roadmap grounded in your goals and Melanin & Microbiome’s four pillars.

• Weekly research and planning: Practical resources and organized next steps tailored to your preferences, schedule, and household, within our agreed areas of support.

• Two private coaching sessions each month: Dedicated time to connect, review your experience, and refine your support.

• Weekly check-ins and personal adjustments: Continuing attention to what is working and what needs to change.

• Between-session messaging: A place for questions and feedback within established support hours.

You share what you need, what you enjoy, and what is working. I handle the agreed research, preparation, and organization—so you can put your energy into living your life and putting your plan into practice.
