A Note of Gratitude
As we let go of 2023, with its shortcomings, pain, beauty, and resilience, we move forward to this new year. I will always encourage my clients to reflect and explore their year, progress, pain, and gratitude. I too encourage myself to do the same. My gratitude for my work, my clients, their willingness to be open, and my bearing witness to their pain, makes me ponder and reflect on how rare it is to do my job and only my job
In this western world we live in, healthcare workers are often burnt out, juggling many tasks and roles and, at times may find it hard to do the work they were intended to do. The beauty in working at a multi-disciplinary integrative office is the ease of knowing your clients are cared for by others, and also passionate and eager to help and heal.
This integrative approach allows our workers and clients to receive the care they need with compassionate healers who are not just performing in other roles, but perfecting them. I am so incredibly grateful for my role being here at the Stram Center, and my expertise and knowledge growing. I am honored to be here; I have a space, a home, carved out just for my craft. In a world full of destruction, chaos, and pain, we look to our healthcare workers to offer us breath light, and love.
This western world also holds such a stake in getting rid of our pain, and eliminating it, and I am grateful to be at a practice that helps us understand, manage, and live in it so that we can make sense of what we are going through and work towards healing.
I believe that the more hands we have, to carry us through life, it’s easier to then move through pain. Here at the Stram Center, I am grateful for our ability to hold our patients, hand, and hand, offering them the support and love we all crave, desire, and need.

When we think about gratitude, what comes to mind is often our external world, rather than what is experienced inward. With the grief that ensues in living with a chronic condition, our mind, body and soul begin to reconnect itself…Read the Post
Health and Gratitude
Being the first born child, I was an easy baby with minimal to no health issues. Little did my parents know that their next child would be quite the opposite picture of health. Following a challenging birth, it was a never ending cycle of visits to children's clinics, new specialists, new medications, surgeries, series of hospitalizations, with a couple of near death health emergencies sprinkled…Read the Post
