So many of the folks we work with have multidimensional stories. They often aren’t just working on a single project, business or mission – instead they are often involved in so many things all at once and so we often wonder about what they themselves hope their legacy will be about. We’ve shared some of their responses with you below.

Saumolia Puapuaga | Painter | Visual Artist

I wish to leave a legacy that offers people a fascinating visual journey in fine art. I want my paintings to be in the homes of people I know, art enthusiasts, and art collectors from around the world. I get an amazing feeling knowing that my paintings have brought happiness and emotion to others just as they do for me. When I think about legacy I think about eternity and in my paintings, oceanscapes are timeless and horizons go on forever. I believe this is my service to the community, my people, my family, and the world. Read more>>

Katie Heady | 3D Animator

It’s so weird to be thinking about the legacy. I am 26 now and I feel like my legacy is just getting started. But I know I am making a difference to people and the community around me. I think the legacy I hope to leave behind is one of kindness, silliness, and showing people that it’s possible to do what you want. Whether it be changing your career, a lifestyle, or even just a new hobby. I think as a society, we tend to compromise to get through the day. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that we are happy and fulfilled. I think it’s important to take steps each day to listen to that inner voice and honor what you need because at the end of the day you know yourself best. Read more>>

As children to immigrant parents, we were instilled with a strong work ethic and compassion for all those that we encounter. We bring our most sincere and authentic energy to each therapy session because we know the importance of having that great connection impacts progress. Read more>>
