Fostering Wellness Through Ancestral Wisdom
What’s in a name?
Growing up in an Indigenous community, language and names were so important. Names can often carry a story or meaning. As I return back to reclaiming my traditional language, I am deeply moved by language and what can be held within a name.
Wiidookodaadiwin is an Anishnaabe (Ojibwe) term that when translated comes close to “helping one another”, “reciprocity” or “mutual help or assistance”. When I was introduced to this name, it felt right that was the name of my practice — after all, this is exactly how I view my role.
To me, therapy is a reciprocal process where I am walking beside you on your healing path instead of walking in front of you as the expert, or behind you as an observer.
