“Wellness means sustaining yourself in a manner that you are healthy and in a position to thrive.” — Elaine Sugar

Elaine Sugar defines wellness as a position to thrive and thriving starts with self-confidence. Ultimately, it is about maintaining wellness rather than just achieving healthiness.

The work she does now comes from the root cause of her family’s experiences; having a family member struggling with addiction, a grandmother diagnosed with schizophrenia and a mother diagnosed with dementia. Elaine was dissatisfied with the resources, conditions, cleanliness, safety, and overall environment that the system had provided.
