VISION AND MISSION--Discover, Transform, Educate.
Essence Health and Research Foundation (Trade Name: EH&R, Essence Health & Research, Project Thrive) is a 501c3 nonprofit that helps to bring innovative services in clinical nutrition and nutrigenomics, health research, public health education and guidance, emergency nutrition/crisis relief, yoga instruction, restorative yoga, and yoga teacher training programs to the community of Sammamish, WA and beyond.
Being managed by a woman, this nonprofit inspires more women to be at the table of influence in STEM, healthcare, medical research, and healthcare innovation. The model of direction and teaching promotes mentorship, collaboration, respect, stability, ability, security, thriving, purpose, positive health outcomes, and results.
You can't achieve it all on your own, and neither can EH&R, but there is something special about being the catalyst to beneficial change that inspires us all to be better and work in stable ways to meet our personal best. Why "personal best"? Transformation is personal and commitment is hard work. Excellence is special when you can call yourself balanced at the end of the day and love the work you've accomplished.
