my intentions
At the foundation of my work is a commitment to healing justice, recognizing that healing is a revolutionary act, and self-care and community-care are part of liberation work. Healing ourselves and moving into right relationship with others and the land is a process of collective and ecological healing for us all and the planet.
what is healing justice?
Healing justice is an anti-oppression framework recognizing that cultural and historical trauma shape our lives and our health. Because suffering and oppression are not sustainable, healing justice movements are committed to the cultivation of our individual capacities to take care of ourselves and to embody the change we wish to see.
how this frames my work
I recognize that there are significant individual, collective and generational consequences to living in a world that systematically oppresses marginalized folks. As well, the consistent, widespread direct and indirect exposure to violence, colonization, loss, burn-out, stress, micro-agressions, capitalism, dis-ease and traumatic social conditions permeates and impacts our personal and interpersonal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-beings.
I believe it to be true that enduring systemic injustices impacts our relationship to self, others, and the land we call home. Naturally, this influences the capacity and accessibility to engage in our movement building work.
Passage Wellness & Acupuncture is working to be an active part of shifting this reality in our bodies, hearts, and communities. It's hopeful and inspiring to see the infinite possibilities we can all create when we engage our individual and collective capacity to heal, to love, and to transform.
With you in healing, wholeness, and liberation,
