Practicing for 27 years as a clinical HIV pharmacist in Vancouver, Canada, I spent 10 years on the frontline in the city’s infamous Downtown Eastside.  This is the same community where Dr. Gabor Maté honed his Compassionate Inquiry for people suffering from severe trauma, mental health issues, poverty, and addictions.  Harm reduction and trauma-informed care became a professional necessity to create connections with patients to encourage healthcare engagement.  Over the years, I realized that these practices overlapped with my study of Conscious Parenting helping me change the dynamics in my own family. Impassioned by the work of breaking negative generational patterns in relationships, I left my career as a pharmacist and trained with Dr.Shefali to become a Conscious Parenting and Life Coach.
