"Annie Barrett has a wide variety of resources for health and wellbeing given to professionals through zoom groups sessions and individual wellness couching which has helped our staff to find ways to make self care our priority in the middle of COVID era. We are caregivers who serve many high risk families and Annie has helped us understand how crucial it is to take self care to a higher level. She used SMART goals to help staff identify personal goal on wellness through having a vision and strategies for a better life as professionals and for our personal lives. She really supported us in the process of writing our own goals based on each individual's needs making this a lasting wellness culture in our agency. In the meantime she also refers to mental health professionals if there is deeper healing that needs to be address due to trauma or other needs beyond her expertise. I really enjoyed every session. I learned a lot and I continue looking forward to a better year. The best of all is that she is bilingual and I was also able to talk to her in my own language Spanish with her. I loved that. You are amazing! Thank you! Ms. Annie Barrett Mil Gracias! "
