Our founders Kimberly Alexander and Dale Curd are both mental health professionals who began their journey as clients first. They believe in and are deeply committed to the importance of a healthy mind as part of a healthy body and a healthy life. Counselling, coaching, and group therapy have all been crucial in our development and healing and we’ve come to know the truth that awareness and knowledge are the fuel for empowerment. We want you to feel empowered, to have all the choices possible available to you on your journey.

Some of you might be looking for expansion and support your self. Some of you might have received a diagnosis that you are seeking to understand and come to terms with and some of you might be at the beginning; looking for information and professional help to navigate the truth your mind is telling you, either through your words or behaviour.

We hope you will find support and comfort here. One day, mental wellness will be considered as normal to our health as going to the doctor or dentist. Until that time, we must help ourselves and each other, to help women around the world.
