Debbie Pullens has spent years working at the intersection of wellness and justice impact. Her work combines professional holistic wellness training with direct engagement in correctional, reentry, youth, and community settings.
Through Wellness Within, she is translating that experience into practical wellness education designed for people who may have had limited access to supportive wellness resources.
“Where someone lives should not determine whether they have access to tools that support dignity, self-awareness, and emotional wellness.”— Debbie Pullens
Built from real-world practice
Informed by Real-World Experience
Wellness Within is informed by Reaching Beyond Bars’ work with justice-impacted individuals and returning citizens since 2013, Debbie Pullens’ correctional and reentry wellness programming, and her family’s direct experience with incarceration.
Homeboy Industries
Debbie is working with Homeboy Industries to introduce aromatherapy-based wellness workshops for youth.
Proper Pairings
Debbie created ProperPairings.app, a digital wellness platform exploring intentional combinations of sound, scent, and everyday wellness practices.
Reaching Beyond Bars
Founded by Debbie in 2013, Reaching Beyond Bars supports individuals and families impacted by incarceration and reentry.
Proper Xchange
Proper Xchange develops evidence-informed holistic wellness experiences integrating aromatherapy, sound, education, sensory wellness, and intentional daily practices.
Wellness Within did not begin as a theoretical correctional product. It grew from wellness practice, justice-impact work, community engagement, and a belief that access to emotional wellness should not disappear because someone is incarcerated.
