Aboriginal Diabetes Wellness Initiative


Honoured to offer our services at Soadi

What a moving experience Julie and I had at the Soadi Diabetes Wellness Event held on Sept. 23, in our nation’s capital.  We were two, of five reflexologists who participated along with chiropodists and foot care nurses, to provide diabetes care and education to the aboriginal community. The event was sponsored by, the Southern Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative.

The prevalence of diabetes is 3 to 5 times higher in the Aboriginal Community than in the non-aboriginal community.  Soadi puts on foot care clinics several times a year in each of the six Soadi regions.  Thanks Soadi for a memorable day!
