Proper Xchange

Wellness Within — Correctional Wellness Initiative

Reaching Beyond Bars

Wellness That Reaches
Beyond the Workshop.

Proper Xchange designs and facilitates aromatherapy, sound, and sensory wellness programs for correctional staff, people in custody, youth, and reentry communities. Led by Debbie Pullens, a Certified Professional Aromatherapist, each engagement pairs skilled facilitation with practical tools participants can continue using after the session.

Through Reaching Beyond Bars, our nonprofit affiliate, Wellness Within connects hands-on education, sponsored kits, and community partnerships. We plan with each facility around its participants, space, and approval requirements, then deliver a clear program and follow-up for the partner team.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed."

Isaiah 61:1–3 · The Foundation of This Work

Who We Serve

People First.
Programs With Purpose.

Each environment carries its own culture, security requirements, and human needs. Proper Xchange designs programs specific to each — never one-size-fits-all.

Correctional Staff

Officers & Department Staff

Corrections officers carry extraordinary stress loads. Aromatherapy kits, resilience workshops, and sound healing sessions give staff tools to pause, reflect, and explore personal wellness routines.

Incarcerated Residents

Adults in Custody

Aromatherapy and sound healing provide residents with sensory practices for reflection and personal wellness, with participation adapted to individual preferences.

Youth in the System

Juvenile Detention & Probation

Youth-adapted programs use sensory-grounding techniques, developmentally appropriate language, and trauma-informed facilitation designed for ages 12–24.

Justice-Impacted Adults

Reentry & Transitional Centers

Proper Xchange partners with halfway houses, sober living facilities, and workforce reentry programs to deliver wellness that travels home with participants.

Program Facilitators

Case Managers & Chaplains

We equip case managers, social workers, chaplains, and counselors with kits, facilitation guides, and training to extend wellness across their entire caseload.

✦

All Programs

Facility-Reviewed. Dignity-Centered.

Product selection, ingredients, packaging, and session plans are reviewed with each facility before delivery. All materials and activities are subject to facility approval.

In Practice · Homeboy Industries Youth Center

A Tool They Can Carry Forward.

Our partnership with Homeboy Industries Youth Center brings hands-on aromatherapy and grounding workshops to its students. Alona G. shared how one student used an inhaler he made in a workshop months later to steady himself before a presentation.

“Not only do they enjoy crafting the day of the workshop, but they create lasting projects that they continue to use.”

— Alona G., Homeboy Industries Youth Center
