Nobody sets out to be unhappy or ill. Many people dream of harmony. We want the freedom to choose how we live and the energy to spend time with our loved ones. Unfortunately, no matter how hard many of us try, we are constantly stuck feeling like it’s just a dream. All of us are struggling to cope with the increasing demands on our time every day. Sometimes it might seem like no matter how much effort we give and resources we have, how we feel still gets the best of us. So why should we keep trying if the effort doesn’t help? We get it because we’ve been there too. The answer is that healing has no on-size-fits-all solution.

As a team, we have navigated significant emotional events, trauma, mental illness, suicide, addictions, chronic disease and more. Although our experiences were different, we all shared one thing in common. Having worked through these struggles and finding a passion to mentor others going through similar hardships as ourselves, we found a common goal.

We founded Compass because we do not want anyone to feel that giving up is their only option. As people who have experienced the best and worst of healthcare, we strive to use our experiences as a guide.

Our goal is to be your gateway to wellness and recovery and guide you every step of the way. We’re building a healthier internet, where people can lead their own journey confidently, knowing they have the opportunity and access to reach their full potential. Regardless of how technology advances, nothing will replace the emotional connection you get when someone takes the time to listen to your story and validate what you experience. To us, it’s about putting people first. We who have a story to tell, a hand to lend, will take the lead in helping those of us who are challenged by our health.

If you want to join your fellow peers working to share a healthier world, send us a note and tell us your story.
