Empowering the Burmese Refugee Community

This summer, Global Outreach Developments International (G.O.D. Int'l) proudly partnered with The Soma Wellness Group to host a healthcare seminar for the Burmese refugee community in Nashville.

The seminar was led by two experienced professionals: Kim Ownby, a licensed massage and ELT/ALT Therapist, and Gabrielle Calhoun, a Licensed Massage Therapist and Arvigo Practitioner from Soma Wellness. Together, they delivered comprehensive insights into the lymphatic system's crucial role in keeping us healthy and combating illnesses.


Kim Ownby focused on explaining how the lymphatic system works and shared practical advice on ways to improve lymphatic flow. Her guidance emphasized the importance of a balanced lifestyle, which includes proper hydration, nutritious food, restful sleep, regular movement, and techniques to promote sweating—all of which aid in boosting the immune system.


Gabrielle Calhoun further enriched the seminar by teaching participants specific stretches and movements designed to enhance flexibility and range of motion. These exercises not only promote physical wellness but also help improve lymphatic function, which is vital for overall health.


We at G.O.D. Int'l are deeply grateful for the education and contributions of Kim and Gabrielle.
