I'm WillowjakMama!

My blog started as a way to document my journey to wellness, but turned into a place to be inspired by others through our collective messy & authentic stories. Now it's my favourite place to be.

hey there

Willowjak Welcome. Where No One is Less Than.

Our Mission, Vision, & Values

Our vision

Willowjak will open hearts and minds towards people with mental health challenges, and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Our mission

Willowjak Journey to Wellness is dedicated to enriching the sometimes difficult conversations on mental health, transformational life changes, disability, diversity and inclusion.

Our values

  • Inclusion: We foster inclusive communities.
  • Diversity: We honour what is unique in each individual.
  • Allyship: We commit to continue learning how we can be responsible allies. We choose to make a choice to take a stand against oppression or social injustice and speak out when others can’t or choose not to.
  • Empowerment: We create an environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to the conversation and make it easy for others to do the same. We create opportunities to pursue full potential.
  • Respect: We operate in an environment of cooperation, collaboration and dignity.
  • Excellence: We elevate standards and performance.
