ABOUT SISTER W.E.L.L.S

Welcome to SISTER W.E.L.L.S., where the journey to a healthier, more empowered life begins. Our story is one of friendship, passion, and the desire to make a difference. SISTER W.E.L.L.S is an exceptional collective of experienced professionals, brought together by their shared vision and sisterhood. Founded by three sorority sisters, Dr. Charla Blumell, Dr. Sherrá Watkins, and Dr. Shawnté Elbert, with Shawnté and Sherrá being identical twin sisters, our practice is rooted in a deep passion for wellness and guiding individuals towards authentic transformation.

The genesis of SISTER W.E.L.L.S took shape in 2014, as our founders sat around a table, inspired by their collective experience speaking at a Minority Leadership conference. It was during that moment that they made the bold decision to forge their own path and establish a business that would make a genuine impact. In March 2017, SISTER W.E.L.L.S became a reality.

“Sister” W.E.L.L.S. carries a profound significance and operates on the principle of inclusivity and support for those who may feel marginalized or overlooked. It embodies the strength of our sisterhood and reflects our unwavering dedication to wellness and guiding individuals towards meaningful change. The word “WELLS” draws inspiration from the biblical parable of the woman at the well (John 4). This tale resonates deeply with us, as it represents the transformative power of encountering others in their times of struggle and providing the support needed to embark on a new journey. At SISTER W.E.L.L.S, we extend a warm embrace to those who may feel marginalized or overlooked, encouraging them to “dip into the WELL,” drawing from our abundant well of services, to foster healing, happiness, health, and wholeness.

SISTER W.E.L.L.S is committed to curating healing spaces that nurture growth and empower individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and women. We push the boundaries of our industry by offering a comprehensive range of services that address the complete well-being of each person. Our approach is guided by the belief in the interconnectedness of the 9 Dimensions of Wellness, recognizing that your health encompasses far more than just your physical state. We are passionate about helping others find their voice, ignite their passions, and create a healthier and more fulfilling reality than their current circumstances allow. While our coaching services are available both in the U.S. and internationally, our counseling services are currently limited to the state of North Carolina. 

Our Mission is to curate healing spaces by providing coaching, counseling, training, mentoring, and consulting services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities, and for women through counseling, coaching and consultative services. We are pushing the boundaries in our industry by creating services that addresses the WHOLE person. We provide services through the lens of the 9 Dimensions of Wellness as we believe that the value of your health goes beyond just your physical health.
