In this episode, we sit down with Flo Lavallie, a Herbalist, Iridologist, Healer, and longtime pillar in Saskatoon’s wellness community, to reflect on the incredible legacy of the Tamara House. Tamara House was created as a healing space for survivors of sexual abuse, offering holistic support through community, Reiki, and other healing modalities. Flo shares the heart behind creating a safe and compassionate environment for women to heal, and the profound impact this work had on so many lives over the years. Alongside Flo, Linda Sanderson also shares her personal healing journey, her experiences that shaped her path and her time at the Tamara House.
