I am committed to being actively anti-racist in my role in the wellness community by educating myself about BIPOC ancestral trauma around health care, and continuing to speak up about what I am learning with other practitioners and clients.

Additionally, 5% of my annual earnings are donated to reparations for the BIPOC communities in Oregon.
