About Us

We Thrive Here

Wellness Oasis Incorporated (Wellness Oasis) was founded by Samantha Glave and Osahon Osawe to address gaps in care for Black communities. Samantha saw the lack of culturally safe support for Black seniors and caregivers, while Osahon, a Nurse Practitioner, witnessed barriers that prevent Black men from accessing mental health and substance use care.

Together, they created Wellness Oasis to provide respectful, culturally grounded care for individuals and families.
