Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marsha Evans.

A licensed mental health therapist, founder of Willow Tree Counseling & Educational Center, and creator of the FELT Experience and Marsha Listens wellness platform. The conversation centers on emotional health, nervous system education, sound therapy, community healing, and her evolution as a therapist and entrepreneur. Marsha shares her personal journey from being a competitive athlete to becoming a calming force for high‑functioning individuals dealing with burnout, stress, and emotional disconnection.

She explains the origins of her signature FELT Experience, a wellness model designed to help people reconnect with themselves through somatic movement, sound healing, intentional rest, and community. She also highlights the challenges and breakthroughs in mental health—particularly within the Black community—and reflects on 16+ years of therapeutic practice.

Purpose of the Interview

The interview aims to:

1. Introduce Marsha Evans’ holistic mental health approach

Rushion invites Marsha to explain how she blends psychology, somatics, and sound‑based healing to help people process stress differently. 

2. Explain the FELT Experience and its healing framework

Marsha details her signature F.E.L.T. model—Free, Expand, Listen, Transform—and why embodied emotional experience is key to healing. 

3. Share her personal journey

She discusses how sports, music, and modalities like breathwork and yoga helped her turn stress into purpose. 

4. Encourage new perspectives on mental health in the Black community

She and Rushion address the stigma, evolution, and growing acceptance of mental health support. 

5. Showcase community‑centered healing

Marsha emphasizes connection, shared experiences, and intentional spaces that allow vulnerability and transformation. 

Key Takeaways 1. Healing Requires Intentionality

Marsha explains that activities like massage or yoga can be therapeutic—but only when approached with intentionality, presence, and consent to release emotional tension. 

2. The Body Holds Stories (“The body keeps the score”)

She emphasizes that the body stores emotional experiences, and modalities like breathwork, sound healing, and somatic movement help release what the mind can’t articulate. 

3. The FELT Framework

The FELT Experience moves participants through:

• F – Free: Permission to just be (coloring, resting, arriving without expectations)
• E – Expand: Allowing the body to open and receive
• L – Listen: To one’s own body, movement, and emotional cues
• T – Transform: The hardest phase—moving from chaos to peace 

4. Safe Community Spaces Accelerate Healing

Marsha’s events often result in participants forming friendships, emotional breakthroughs, and even planning outings together—an indicator of her program’s power. 

5. People Are Conditioned to Avoid Emotions

Growing up, she was taught to hide emotions in competitive sports—especially tears as a sign of weakness. Her therapeutic mission now is to help others unlearn similar conditioning. 

6. Cultural Shifts Around Mental Health

Marsha highlights major strides in the Black community, especially post‑COVID, as more people (including athletes) publicly acknowledge mental health struggles. 

7. Therapy Isn’t Just Talking

She incorporates nonverbal tools like:

• Play therapy
• Sand tray therapy
• Sound healing
• Somatic movement
• Yoga
  These help clients who can’t articulate their emotions—especially those conditioned to suppress them. 

8. Human Connection Still Matters—even in an AI World

Marsha is open to exploring AI in mental health but insists that physical presence, touch, and human empathy are irreplaceable. 

Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On her calming presence

“I think laughter is good for the soul… just being able to find peace has been really big for me… It’s just a God‑given talent.” 

On coping mechanisms

“As long as I had some type of music or some form of therapy… I could navigate any stressful environment.” 

On cooking as therapy (reflecting Rushion’s habits)

“You’re creating new neural pathways… recalibrating your nervous system.” 

On intentional healing

“Yoga and massages can be therapeutic, but you have to be intentional.” 

On the purpose of the FELT Experience

“In order to release whatever your body is experiencing, you have to have a felt experience.” 

On the challenge of transformation

“We are used to chaos… but we’re not used to healed environments.” 

On the evolution of her practice

“I wanted to understand the whole person… and help them change the dial on their dashboard to fit their calling.” 

On mental health in the Black community

“People perceive admission as a flaw… but healing is about understanding your story.” 

On creating safe spaces

“By creating a space of safety and healing… people get to live the life they desired and not a life from survival.”
