"My personal mission is to move beyond my conditioned beliefs about myself and others into a state of freedom and compassion. I see this as being the foundation to health and wellness. Wholistic and integrated healthcare reveals that we are an interconnected whole person and health is an interplay between all of our moving parts. Wholeness does not require me to have "the perfect body" or the perfect anything, but it does require me to become aware of and move beyond my limiting beliefs and adopt new perspectives and ways to care for myself, and in turn for those around me and my community at large."
