“My journey to whole-hearted and well-balanced living began in college, but I didn’t know it. My soul was longing for “well.” To be well, to live well, to embrace just how well I was created, and embrace how well others were created. I began going on missions trips. This was the peak of interest. Seeing how people of other cultures and background interact and live, and how to create happy and sustainable lives for themselves.

After multiple years of field experience, and seeing the lack of wholeness within my community, this led to the development of The Made Well Center for Wholeness, and my desire to see people live from a whole-hearted perspective.

I believe we are made well, and I believe we’ve been given the right tools and skills, we just sometimes need a little community, need a little boost, need a little practical help to get back to this original state of paradise.”
