Energy Workers
Sometimes you need a little help from the universe and light workers, reiki, IYS, shamanism - we know people, let's help you get in touch with them.
Counseling
Being heard is important. Getting a nonbiased perspective on what's happening in life can add profound clarity to decision making, especially when it comes to healthcare decisions as they are often overwhelming.
Financial
Most healthcare facilities have access to grants or can assist you in applying for aid. At times this financial assistance can be retroactive. If you are uninsured, under-insured or simply can't afford the care you need we recommend checking in first with with the billing department or social worker to see if they know of opportunities to offset the cost of medical expenses.
Be your own advocate, squeaky wheel often works! Good luck.
