O.A.S.I.S.
Opposing Abuse with Service, Information and Shelter
OASIS has a philosophy of empowerment, which means every survivor is able to make the best decisions for themselves if given the support and resource referrals. We work closely with other helping agencies and can help survivors identify the different avenues of support available to them.
Founded in 1978, OASIS, Inc. is dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault in Watauga and Avery Counties, North Carolina. OASIS works toward this mission in three ways, by:
- Providing comprehensive emergency services, transitional support, and a safe environment for survivors as they explore options for a violence-free life.
- Providing education and skill development to encourage families in our community to create and maintain healthy peer and intimate partner relationships that are based on respect and equality.
- Helping to create a community that supports survivors through advocacy and education.
Safe House Project
Support & Shelter
Safe House Project has the audacious belief that eradication of child trafficking is possible through the power of unity, compassion, and collective action. Our mission is to increase survivor identification beyond one percent through education, provide emergency services and placement to all survivors, and ensure every survivor can access quality safe housing and holistic care.
Our vision is to unite communities to end domestic sex trafficking and restore hope, freedom, and a future to every survivor.

Aceso Physical Therapy - Serving Surrounding Area of Charlotte, NC
Having learned the importance of active listening as well as the benefit of hands on care early on in her career as a physical therapist, Jodi furthered her training, specializing in manual therapy and pelvic health to help women at all levels achieve their goals. She strives to form meaningful relationships with each of her patients, focusing on the whole person rather than just a diagnosis. She understands that every person has their own unique pain journey; that recovery and healing will be different for everyone and thus so should the treatment they receive. Therefore, each plan of care is customized specifically to meet the unique needs of each person.
She loves staying active with her husband and two children through hiking, running, boating/water skiing, playing golf or pretty much anything outside in nature.
