A mother, teacher, and psychologist blending clinical practice with spirituality.

I believe the health of a person reflects the health of their community, and vice versa. My work is holistic and trauma-informed, weaving evidence-based psychology with the wisdom traditions that make healing whole.
I combine conventional psychology (CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic) with African spirituality, indigenous herbal food healing, mindfulness, astrology, body movement, sound therapy, and community support to create a highly effective, client-centered approach to therapy and life coaching.
Dr. Makeda Moore, Ph.D., is a holistic mental health therapist, life coach, meditation teacher, speaker, and founder of SOL Powerful LLC. She empowers individuals, families, and communities to heal and thrive through an integrative approach that connects mind, body, and spirit.
She earned her Ph.D. in Clinical and Health Psychology from the University of Florida and completed her clinical internship at Tarzana Treatment Centers in California. Dr. Moore has experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and mothers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and burnout.
Her work blends evidence-based clinical practices with holistic modalities, focusing on nervous-system regulation, mindfulness, and cultivating a deeper connection to inner wisdom. Meditation became central to her work in 2020 and has expanded to include breathwork, sound healing, yoga, and other practices that support resilience and self-awareness.
While living in Tanzania, Dr. Moore had the privilege to introduce meditation, yoga, and sound healing to communities across Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam, creating accessible spaces for healing and connection. In 2022, she founded the SOL Powerful Wellness Collective, a global virtual community offering weekly classes, workshops, and wellness practices.
As a mother, Dr. Moore believes motherhood is not meant to be a season of depletion, but an opportunity for growth, healing, and deeper connection to self. She is passionate about supporting women in navigating motherhood with intention, compassion, and balance, helping them honor their needs while caring for their families.
Today, Dr. Moore provides individual therapy, holistic coaching, group experiences, workshops, speaking engagements, and retreats. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing is most powerful when supported by compassionate relationships, evidence-based care, and meaningful community.
I want to create a space that makes life simpler and increases the odds of success in motherhood, business, and wellness, for mothers across every season of life.
