Our Story

Closeup details of wood branch that is slightly wet

Once upon a time, in a cottage not far from here, three curious women met over a cup of tea to discuss a dream. The universe or magic brought them together, we are not exactly sure.

The women happened to be a Psychologist, a Family Doctor/Family Therapist, and a Trauma Therapist. The women quickly learned there was an aligned and powerful connection between them. They spoke about compassion and concern for the people they serve and their experiences around trauma and health. Something beautiful and exciting began to take root and grow.

With a shared belief in working collaboratively to create the dream, the women began to connect and nourish the dream. The dream began to take life. The women spent time growing, resourcing, and sharing the dream with others. Roots began to form, and energy continued to grow.

The dream was given a name.

The name is 3Trees.
