"SAF Wellness was founded on the belief that every woman deserves access to holistic wellness resources that honour her unique experiences, culture, and background. We are committed to seeing women thrive, not just survive, and to be empowered through holistic wellness."
— Alicia Walters, Founder of SAF Wellness CIC
MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER
My passion for this mission is deeply personal, shaped by the stories of women in my family, friend groups, and communities. Working closely with women from diverse backgrounds has illuminated the significant health and wellness disparities faced daily by women of colour and those from low-income households—disparities that research highlights and our lived experiences reveal.
My mission is straightforward: to empower women to not just survive, but truly thrive. Empowering Women Through Holistic Wellness is central to our work at SAF Wellness. The name "SAF" means "pure" in Turkish and Swahili and was also the name of one of my favourite restaurants, which provided beautiful, healthy, clean organic food. This essence of purity and wellness is at the heart of what we do. We understand that wellness encompasses all dimensions of life, including mind, body, and spirit. Through our holistic wellness initiatives, we provide the resources and support needed to tap into each woman's fullest potential.
Promoting self-advocacy and holistic wellness, we aim to inspire women to take charge of their wellness journeys, leading lives filled with purpose, vitality, and joy.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can make wellness accessible, inclusive, and transformative for all.
Wellness and Wholeness
