Today, we explore The Healing Power of Connection with Alison Stewart Leason of the Nisga’a Valley Health Authority.
Her work reminds us that healing is found in listening, compassionate presence, and the sacred connection to both people and place.
Alison speaks about the power of creating safe spaces, offering support, and integrating traditional wellness practices alongside her team. The land itself becomes a teacher, especially the sacred hot springs — where stillness, warmth, and nature’s energy invite grounding, reflection, and renewal. \
She reminds us that healing is not just a profession; it’s a relationship — that emerges in community, in the land, and in our willingness to connect.
If you or someone you know could use mental-health or family-support services, reach out to the Nisga’a Valley Health Authority. They offer confidential and culturally grounded care across all four Nisga’a villages.
