How I Heal My Mind, Body & Soul

I live on beautiful Vancouver Island with my husband, 15-year-old twins, and little dog Eevee.

I love waking in nature, cold ocean dips, paddle boarding, dancing, singing, sunsets, sunrises, and hiking. When I am not with my family and friends you will find me on the beach listening to the waves, watching the sunset, and often singing to myself.  Self-care is a daily practice and a necessity for me.

Whole Health Family Wellness is my gift to the world. It is essentially me and my story and my wisdom through all the many things I have experienced in life. It all comes back to self-love, our deep need for connection, and our passion for life.
