YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Healing Journey will have its annual Women's Empowerment Conference on Friday, May 31, promoting inspiration and sisterhood.

There will also be a panel discussion, a yoga and meditation demo, raffle prizes, and access to non-profit resources.

The Healing Journey provides services for local trauma victims like counseling, therapy, and case management.

CEO and Founder of The Healing Journey Estrella Fitch said the conference's goal is to inspire women to move forward, boost self-esteem, and learn from others who have overcome difficult situations.

"I think that having these Empowerment Conferences gives us the opportunity to understand how can I move forward, how can I heal,  maybe a career path is offered during these booths, or something that they're interested in doing.  So yes, it's to empower us," shared Fitch.
