When we decided to build Origin Wellness in 2014, it was created on a foundation of respect for the health and wellbeing of patients, as well as the impact we leave with our community. The lessons we learned from our previous work environments showed us that there was a better way to build family within our collective and have that kindness pour into our professionalism.
We foster ethical practices to ensure that our practitioners are well supported, receive proper compensation, and that we provide safe clinical spaces to thrive in. We believe in ongoing education, whether it be practice-based (i.e. techniques) or to generate the change needed for systemic overhaul in our lives. We’re not perfect, and we take accountability where we fall short.
We believe that knowledge is at the forefront of creating change, and we will continue to share our concepts of kindness, care, and community support through our online platforms and with our actions. We stand as an anti-oppressive collective of caregivers who strive to be better by learning, unlearning, and bolstering the voices that need support. Our spaces are trauma-sensitive and queer-positive, and we’re always happy to make adjustments to our operations to validate others’ needs.
We continue to evolve as a clinical space with the intent to grow, unlearn, and develop solutions to improve the quality of life for everyone who passes through our doors, with the aim of fine-tuning progressive business practices. The greater good starts with our communities, and we love being here.
With respect,
Erin, Yvonne, and the Origin family
