Foundation Story

About Fireweed & Cedar Wellness Collective – Holistic Healing in Fairbanks, Alaska

Founded by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Victoria Murphy, Fireweed & Cedar Wellness Collective was born from a belief: healing is not a luxury, it’s a birthright.

Located in Fairbanks, Alaska, our studio is rooted in the belief that true healing begins from within, as we empower individuals to restore balance, build resilience, and reclaim their well-being.

Support for PTSD, Stress, and Trauma in Alaska

With a focus on mental, emotional, and physical well-being, our services are designed to support you at every stage of your healing process. Whether you are navigating trauma (line-of-duty incidents, PTSD, and more), chronic stress, general depression and anxiety challenges, or seeking group therapy sessions to find your own safe space, our approach is filled with compassion and hope for a better future.

Our Healing Philosophy: Whole-Person Wellness

Fireweed & Cedar integrates compassionate therapy, evidence-based wellness practices, and a deep commitment to whole-person healing. We create a space where transformation flourishes—healing from the roots up.

Why “Fireweed & Cedar”?

Our name pays homage to fireweed, the first bloom after wildfire, and cedar, a symbol of protection and renewal.

Together, they represent what we offer: a return to self, a grounded sanctuary, and a space to flourish.

Much like these beloved plants, Fireweed & Cedar, we serve those within the Alaskan community who are seeking to restore their roots in order to flourish once again. Our collective is more than a holistic wellness studio – it’s a gathering place for those ready to root, to rise, and to shed.

 

Serving the Fairbanks Community with Accessible, Grounded Care

Fireweed & Cedar is more than a wellness studio—it’s a collective rooted in community.

We proudly serve the Alaskan community, offering:

  • First-floor, wheelchair-accessible facilities
  • Easy parking
  • Premium Manduka yoga equipment

Every detail is designed to support your healing journey with care and intention.
