PHILOSOPHIES:
As it is with all philosophies, it's important to know that they are all subject to change. However, if one believes it is right, then it's one's duty to follow through with it to the best of their ability as it is a foundation on which to base all decisions.
​
Personally, I believe that having a high quality of health and seeing health as a high priority sets the precedent of having a fulfilling life. It is one's own responsibility to take direct action and find the motivation to improve their own health. From diet and exercise to practicing healthy mental and emotional habits, it's important to have the self-confidence and positive thinking needed to always strive to be well-rounded and healthy.
​
It's the job of a healthcare professional, to set an example for wellness that others can easily follow. Whether it be on an individual or population-based level, a healthcare professional must assist others in becoming health literate and give them the skills needed to make their own choices in their best self interest.
