acknowledgments
Azaad Healing Justice Studio, LLC was founded in 2023 by Kulkiran Kaur Nakai, Psy.D., LP, a queer Michigan-based licensed psychologist of color, who’s rooted in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor community.
With great reverence, Kulkiran acknowledges that Azaad Healing Justice Studio, LLC is located on and benefits from the unceded land of the Anishinaabe (the original peoples) and the Three Fires Confederacy - the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and Potowatomi - as well as the Wyandot. Kulkiran honors and pays tribute to the Anishinaabe people who steward this land of the world's largest freshwater system located in the Huron River watershed.

Azaad Healing Justice Studio, LLC operates within decolonial, anti-oppressive, intersectional feminist and abolitionist frameworks that center healing justice and collective liberation for the marginalized and disenfranchised on Turtle Island. Kulkiran honors the generations of ancestors and elders who have survived to bring us all into existence. They also honor and give credit to the legacy, lineage, and labor from Black, Indigenous, and Brown communities, as well as the disabled community and the queer and trans+ community, who were and still are subjugated to colonial violence, and who also still generously share their teachings of wisdom for us all to live in a more liberated world.
THE mission
to embark on a revolutionary healing journey of alchemy for the liberation from historical and modern contexts of trauma by oppressive systems at intergenerational, ancestral, collective and individual levels.
THE vision
to collectively restore our divinity and sustainably rebuild our humanity within our own minds and bodies, within our families and local communities, and amongst greater society.
