Healing start with the mind,spirit, culture and self-worth
I believe healing and growth come not only from understanding the mind and the brain but also from reconnecting with one’s spiritual values, cultural identity, and inner worth. The cultural -grounded method helps individuals recognize their value, manage everyday stress, improve mental wellbeing and navigate personal and relational challenges in a way that feels respectful and familiar.
My goal is to empower people to reclaim their wellbeing-and culture in a way that is relevant to the Vanuatu context.
I am proud to offer counselling and online course in Bislama language, ensuring that my services remain accessible, practical, and grounded in the reality of everyday life across Vanuatu.
