Hello

My name is Kassandra and I live on beautiful Vancouver Island.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in International Development & Biology, and then a Masters of Science in Global Health, I was heading into medicine but realized I wanted to explore health beyond physical factors alone, and became passionate about supporting marginalized populations through the lens of social determinants.  Since then I have worked in many areas of health - global health with non-profits, community health quality improvement initiatives through Doctors of BC, and most recently spent the last 8 years working on digital health projects in Canada to bridge gaps in the healthcare system alongside First Nations communities, as a consultant.  My passion is in helping others move through change and I am strong advocate of Connection & Community  

​

After a series of hardships and health issues, I turned to alternative healing approaches for support with anxiety and stress, recognizing that my wellness needed to explore all aspects of myself, not just the physical.  I had reached what I thought was the pinnacle of success in my career, lived in a downtown apartment in a city full of possibility; I took all the "right" steps to reach success.  Yet, I was not happy when I got there, even though I did everything "right" by society standards.  

On this journey, I rediscovered my own deep sense of worth and wellness, started living my life from a place of authentic connection to myself and my true desires, and as a result found many ways to manage my anxiety and use it as a tool in my life instead.  Working with the freedom that comes from living a life from the inside out, rather than being in reaction mode to outside circumstances, I am now in service to those who are struggling with hopelessness, anxiety, stress, low energy, boundaries, burnout, & those who generally feel stuck in their lives.  

As the founder of Whole Health & Healing, I am here to support you - not to survive, but to thrive in living life with the vitality, joy, and confidence you deserve.
