OUR JOURNEY

Our founder Shae Louise Abel (she/they) (BHSc (Nat), AdvDipSocSc (Just)) throughout their years of experience as a Practitioner and as a Psychosocial Mental Health Support Worker witnessed the hesitation of clients in accessing not only medical healthcare but also that of preventative healthcare. This is particularly the case for the LGBTIQA+ Community where discrimination is still a continuing issue, this contributing to less than ideal health outcomes.

With this came the vision for providing a visibly inclusive space to access an integration of health care services that work collaboratively with the aim to improve health outcomes.

By creating this platform people within our LGBTIQA+ Community can be empowered to work on their health without anxiety, simply knowing that they will be affirmed and respected.
