Promoting Whole-Person Wellness Through:

Education

enhance understanding about our own bodies

Collaboration

partner with individuals to make informed decisions for themselves and their families

Support and Empowerment

come alongside individuals in a way that listens to them and facilitates their journey through vulnerable experiences


My Perspective

Wellness and our experiences of health are influenced by our environment, society, social support, physical and emotional health.

Thus, I aim to provide services with an approach that emphasizes the value of integration and collaboration among family members, other care providers, local resources and community members to achieve well-being.
