RAFT

Raft is a series of guided meditations, literary reflections, and calming music for anyone struggling through a breakup or a divorce. Led by Hanna Badalova and Daniel Todd, we hope to offer a temporary resting place amidst the turbulent waves and the unnerving still waters of relationship loss. Hanna Badalova, LCSW-C is a Baltimore-based psychotherapist who utilizes her experience treating therapy clients to inform her guided meditations and life coaching practice. She received a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, specializing in clinical psychotherapy, and has a range of experience working in schools, hospitals, a women’s shelter, the juvenile justice department, and a community mental health center. Her experiences as a musician and writer — she received her undergraduate degree in English Literature and creative writing from Goucher College — shape both her training as a therapist and the way she works with her clients today. Daniel Todd is a writer, musician, and entrepreneur. He received a Master's in English from Xavier University in 2011 and was an English professor for over ten years. He is also the Senior Editor of the poetry magazine Smartish Pace. He left higher ed in 2017 to carve out a unique niche in the food business, opening a pop-up Indian restaurant in Spokane, Washington called Inland Curry and helping launch the incubator Feast World Kitchen to help immigrants and refugees start small food businesses.
