About Healing Grounds Cafe
How Healing Grounds Started
Hi, I’m Alicia — the founder of Healing Grounds Café and a passionate advocate for mental health and community healing.
Mental wellness has always been close to my heart. Through my own journey, I’ve come to understand just how powerful it can be to have the right support, a safe space, and people who truly care. I’ve faced my share of challenges and have always been open about my struggles, not because it’s easy — but because I believe in the strength of vulnerability and the power of shared experience.
Healing Grounds Café is an extension of that belief. It’s my way of creating a space where individuals of all backgrounds can find connection, comfort, and real support. Whether it’s through affordable meals, mental health services, or simply a warm, welcoming environment, my goal is to help others know they are not alone.
This café is more than just a business — it’s a community hub built on compassion, healing, and hope. Through my content, my story, and the space we’re building together, I hope to inspire healing and meaningful change, one conversation at a time. I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to welcome you to Healing Grounds Café.
