Depression can be a debilitating and hopeless place to be. It is often connected to difficult life experiences and sometimes genetically predisposed. I believe in a holistic form of treatment considering health and care of the body, soul and spirit.

I believe the 'light' represents truth, hope and renewed vision for life!
