As a mental health provider, it is important for me to have a solid self-care routine. On a weekly basis, I join others and help them to unpack their struggles as they move towards health.

Yoga. Lots and lots of yoga! LOL. It has given me an outlet to channel frustration, release stress and just get out of my head from time to time. Read more>>
