Growing Grace in the Garden and the Street

At Restoration Wellness LLC, healing has never been confined to just one modality, one room, or even one label. True wellness addresses the whole person—and sometimes, the whole system.

That’s why I am excited to share more about the nonprofit outreach work I am building alongside my private practice. While Restoration Wellness provides individualized, non-pharmaceutical wellness care, the heart behind it beats just as loudly in the community spaces where women and those with children in transition need tangible, restorative support.

I founded a nonprofit organization to develop programs that serve women navigating probation, parole, or re-entry into society. Though it is currently undergoing a name change to better reflect its mission, the vision remains strong: to create accessible, meaningful community service options that uphold dignity and promote healing.

We are now collecting valuable data through a community-wide survey to better understand the needs, challenges, and opportunities facing individuals and families across the Treasure Valley and surrounding regions.

One of our first major initiatives is the Grow Up Program —a community-based food support and sustainability program. Through this initiative, women can fulfill their community service hours by volunteering in projects that directly combat food insecurity while teaching practical, hands-on life skills. These are not just hours checked off a list; they are opportunities to grow, to give, and to heal.

The Grow Up Program empowers women to:

  • Volunteer at mobile food banks, distributing healthy food and essentials to marginalized neighborhoods
  • Assist in assembling and installing vertical gardening kits for families or group homes
  • Participate in community-supported agriculture education to foster long-term food resilience

Too often, community service becomes another burden for women already carrying too much. But what if service could actually serve them too? What if it could be restorative instead of punitive?

That is the question guiding our outreach programs—and your voice plays a key role in shaping them.

This is not charity. It is empowerment.

And while these programs are being developed through a nonprofit I founded, I want to be clear: they are deeply connected to the values of Restoration Wellness LLC. This is an extension of my heart, my practice, and my commitment to whole-person healing that goes far beyond a session.

As the nonprofit rebrands and prepares for its next chapter, I will continue to share updates—but you do not have to wait to be involved.

We believe that real change starts at the roots—of our systems, our soil, and our souls.

If you or someone you know has walked this path, or if you want to help shape what community healing looks like from the ground up, I invite you to take the survey and share it widely.

If you would like to be part of this movement—whether as a community member, volunteer site, or partner—we invite you to reach out.

Together, we can build something that truly restores. Let’s get connected.

Healing starts with community.
