Medical Assistant (CCMA)/Office Manager

Sunshine, a dedicated Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) on a mission to make mental health more holistic and compassionate. By day, I assist in providing top-notch patient care, but my passion extends far beyond the clinical setting.

My journey into the world of holistic health began with a deep curiosity about the mind-body-spirit connection. I firmly believe that true wellness encompasses not only physical health but also mental and emotional well-being.

I love exploring the natural world and its healing potential, whether it's through herbal remedies, yoga, meditation, or simply spending time in nature.
