About Coconut Vigor
Our Mission:
“Being the true & authentic version of ourselves.” Living in the present, and not in the “what if’s” or fulfilling other’s expectations. Acknowledging our unique needs and learning to prioritize ourselves, by unlearning oppressive perspectives of living fulfilling lives.
Unlike the common thought of therapy to be a transformative process, we would like to acknowledge healing as ongoing pivoting, where we learn to accept ourselves over and over again, instead of wanting to constantly change who we are.
The result is a cultivation of balance between mind, body and spirit, where harmony and peace live in cohesion with life’s struggles.
Our Values:
- Building strength through community. Together we are stronger.
- Acknowledging the beauty in our differences. Embracing our diversity.
- Letting go of societal expectations.
- Striving for equity – finding what that means to each of us. Respecting what it means to others.
- Self-compassion as a form of self awareness and self forgiveness.
Our Strengths:
- We are unapologetically ourselves. Or continuously working on it…
- We have lived experience in mental health struggles, family chaos, trauma, immigration, feeling alone and vulnerable
- We are real! We want you to be real too!
- We believe in the human capacity to grow and the inner wisdom that allows us to do so
- We use a holistic approach to health and wellness in order to cultivate balance
- We represent our communities, as we come from different backgrounds: Black, Indigenous-Latin American, French Canadian, Caribbean, LGBTQ2S+. Some of us don’t like the labels, for some of us labels are important. We are people! We are from Turtle Island!
Our Passion:
Being “bold”… How dreadful. What we really mean by this is being unapologetically ourselves. Accepting ourselves in a world where we fear judgement and figuring out how to roll with the punches. Our passion is to grow together and hold each other as we do so.
We have been there, continue to be there, continue to learn, get up and try again. We come from a place of understanding ourselves in order to understand others. Creating a safe and positive environment where thoughts and feelings are heard, validated and not judged, allowing opportunity for growth is our ultimate passion.
