Our Story

Reclaiming Royalty is a holistic health and wellness business dedicated to equipping and empowering individuals to embrace their full potential through life consultation, consisting of mental health and wellness education, unpacking life’s adversities, and navigating a pathway to one’s success while reclaiming their most authentic self through therapy, life coaching, trainings, workshops, and community conversations. We are focused on all 8 dimensions of wellness with a specific specialty on mental health.

Our founders, Michael & Keyandra Whiteside, have always served as mental health advocates in their community. Their passion for improving the lives of others has led to years of community engagement, mental and holistic health education, workshops on the local and regional level, countless lives and family healed, as well as a plethora of awards and acknowledgements over the course of their careers. After working in various sectors of the mental health industry, they saw the gap in services provided, difficulty in accessible care, and limited resources available for a wide variety of people which led to the creation of Reclaiming Royalty.

The name Reclaiming Royalty stems from the founder’s understanding of personal power and the idea of Sankofa: to go back and get it. One never loses their ability to be resilient, it is simply misplaced, but you can always go back and get it; you can reclaim it. Royalty stems from the idea that each of us is of high quality that never changes, no matter the life circumstance, you just have to remember to adjust your crown when life tries to knock it off. You are still and will always be royalty, you just have to sometimes reclaim it.
