"My mission in life is to be a resource and use my God-given gifts and talents to help other people fulfil their destinies.  I believe that the mental and emotional health of a person is often overlooked and undervalued in our society.  I am committed to improving the health of the 'whole person' which includes physical, mental/emotional and spiritual  well-being." - Sherlonda
