## Indigenous Healing & Cultural Wellness
We honour Indigenous ways of knowing and healing. We recognize the impacts of intergenerational trauma, colonization, and systemic barriers — and we work to create culturally safe spaces where people can reconnect to identity and belonging.

Supports may include (when desired by the individual):
- Land-based healing and connection to nature
- Cultural reconnection and community supports
- Support engaging Elders/Knowledge Keepers (when available and requested)
- Circles, storytelling, relational healing, and culturally grounded wellness practices
- Support accessing Indigenous-specific services and culturally safe care

We do not "push" culture — we follow the client's lead and support what feels safe, respectful, and meaningful.
