Who We Are

Compassion: Understanding that healing is about addressing physical or emotional pain and fostering a deep sense of empathy and connection.
Resilience: every scar tells a story of survival, and every setback is an opportunity for growth
Integrity: commitment to honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct in everything we do
Innovation: pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of holistic healing and mental health care.
Empowerment: to inspire individuals to take control of their own healing journey and reclaim their lives from the grips of pain
Similar to the Siva Tao, The War Dance performed by Samoans, The CRIE of Chante Ishta de Sophie is symbolic to our warriors. Those who are on their journey of empowerment, to embrace their challenges, overcome adversity, and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.
"With gratitude, our souls ignite, We shine as beacons, pure and bright. Together, we rise, our spirits soar, In love and peace, forevermore."

The Dilemma
The United States faces a pervasive and escalating mental health crisis characterized by a significant increase in the existence of mental health disorders, insufficient access to quality mental health care services, and a persistent societal stigma surrounding mental health issues. This crisis is more profound because of the rising rates of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Limited resources, fragmented mental healthcare systems, and a shortage of mental healthcare professionals exacerbate the challenge. Leaving a substantial portion of the population without adequate support and treatment options. The consequences of this crisis are impacting not only individual well-being but also straining societal resources, workplace productivity, and overall public health. Addressing the mental health crisis in North Carolina requires a comprehensive and coordinated effort to improve access to mental health services, reduce stigma, enhance preventive measures, and promote a more supportive and inclusive environment for individuals grappling with mental health challenges.

Chante Ishta de Sophia, INC
Our journey began with a simple yet profound belief: Every individual has the potential to thrive, given the right opportunities and support. It was this belief that inspired us to embark on a mission to make a positive impact in our community and beyond. Chante Ishta de Sophia, INC, will be a holistic retreat center for people looking for a better way to heal the mind, body and spirit.
As we reflect on our journey so far, we remain dedicated to our mission: “If
you heal your mind, your body will follow, and your spirit will thrive.” We are planning to
host 3 & 4-night retreats, to disconnect from “your day-to-day,” while immersed in
holistic therapies, engage with practitioners you may not encounter due to current
western medicine practices and eat locally grown food while staying at a waterfront
oasis.
