Why Healthcare
There is no one-size-fits-all in terms of restoring and maintaining physical and mental health. This healing journey can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when the self-image we present to the world is expected to be stable and happy. Too often, this prevents people from sharing their true selves and connecting in healing ways. For this reason, Galen's passion and intention is to develop an authentic connection with her clients based on collaboration, curiosity, and a desire to change. Galen hopes to connect with, understand, and support her clients through their healing journey.
