OUR STORY IS WHY WE ARE HERE

In 2016 we lost our youngest son Jesse Cole Reader, he was 22 years old. The loss of Jesse in this world has been profound and the impact life changing.

Bonafide Wellness was created from the deep love and grief our family was going through. It began as a memoriam but has become a legacy of love and healing for not only myself and husband Darren, but for my two other sons Darcy and Russell, my daughter-in-law and colleague Caroline, my sister Michele, and my 3 cicims (grandchildren) August, Carter, and Ryker.

Bonafide Wellness & Consulting dedicates their services to improving the lives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples struggling with addiction and mental health concerns.

Dedicated to my sons and every resilient Indigenous person in Canada

Bonafide Wellness & Consulting is an Indigenous owned and operated mental health and addiction counselling office. We have been deeply impacted by Intergenerational Trauma as individuals and as a collective. We understand trauma and also carry the pain of the Indian Residential Schools.
