Because we approach health holistically at Auravia, we believe that physical and mental health often go hand in hand. We look at the whole person and the life they live in order to help them find peace of mind.

This can be through environmental and belief factors like spirituality, home, social, and work situations, and exploring things like physical health, vitamin deficiencies, and other issues that can be determined through blood work.

An outreach program designed for survivors. This program will help women understand emotional beauty, which leads to positive self-worth; physical beauty, which leads to eating healthy and exercising; and spiritual beauty, which leads to the inner qualities of being a woman of God’s design.

Volunteers do makeovers, seminars/workshops on self-esteem, healthy eating, and exercise, and assist women with wardrobes for the workplace.

By supporting survivors and embracing them through their restoration journey, we believe we will empower them to move forward and find the strength to Love, Believe, and Dream again.
