Meet the woman behind Embraceable Me™
A story of prioritizing yourself with radical self-love, and the movement that it became.
Self-love isn't selfish. It's sacred.
I've lived what I teach.
Dr. LaRay Imani Price, known publicly as Dr. Imani Price, is a licensed clinical psychologist, U.S. Army veteran, and a woman who, just a few years ago, was outwardly successful and quietly running on empty.
In 2020, my own burnout landed me in the emergency room. That moment cracked something open in me, and on the other side of it I finally understood the difference between self-care, the things we do, and self-love, the way we choose to be with ourselves.
Out of that reckoning, the CARESS® Framework and the Embraceable Me™ movement were born. Not from a textbook. From my life.
Who We Are: The Embraceable Me™ Movement
Embraceable Me™ was born from the courage to reclaim worth, redefine strength, and rewrite the story of what it means to care for ourselves. This movement is for veterans and mothers, leaders and healers, church women and working women. For every woman who is exhausted and finally ready.
Self-love is not earned. It is inherited.
The CARESS® Method
From that reckoning, I built the CARESS® Method, six sacred practices that became the clinical and spiritual foundation of Embraceable Me. Compassion, Acceptance, Rest, Exercise & Eating Well, Social Connections, and Strategic Self-Care. Not a checklist. A way of being.
Every meditation, journal prompt, and ritual we teach lives inside this framework.

she became the reason for it.
Four generations of sacrifice.
Service is not what I do. It is who I come from. I am a fourth-generation military service member, a lineage of Price family members who answered the call before me, and who taught me that strength is built in service to others.
It is also why Embraceable Me™ began with one quiet question: who serves the women who have spent their lives serving everyone else?
Her Valor, Her Voice
I co-founded Her Valor, Her Voice alongside two extraordinary women to amplify the stories and address the unique challenges of female veterans, ensuring the women who served are seen, supported, and celebrated.
