Indigenous wisdom.
Responsive practice.
The Medicine Wheel guides attention to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Nitanis’s approach is also grounded in the Seven Sacred Teachings: Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility and Truth.
Trauma-informed practice and culturally responsive services bring these values into everyday relationships. Family, community and cultural connections remain central to planning.
