Nirvana Now

Renewal & Peace for Survivors of Sexual Assault

Welcome, I’m CeCe

I’m so glad you’re here. For survivors of incest and child sexual abuse the question I most hear is, “Will this pain ever go away?”. Beneath this is the deeper question, “Will I ever be happy again?”. Trust me, I even know it firsthand as a black woman who was sexually abused.

A response of “Yes” eluded me for years, even after multiple therapists, support groups, books, magazines, journals, conversations and tears shed with other survivors, etc. But I want to offer you hope that happiness can be found.

xx years ago I started Nirvana Now to serve African American survivors and their communities. But today I work with people of all backgrounds. Let me share what I believe is the essence of what survivors need to understand and do in order to expedite obtainment of happiness in their lives.
