Corry Cande
MEd, CCLS, FMCHC
I have been a CCLS since 2001 and have worked with both acute and chronic pediatric populations in 4 nationally recognized hospitals. I have witnessed the emotional, physical and psychological toll that can occur, within a family, when a child and/or adult has been diagnosed with a health condition and/or impacted by trauma. My role is to support and empower the entire family, where ever each may be on this health journey. All that I say and do, is individualized to meet the specific needs of each person. As a Mother to a child with a rare health condition, I have a profound understanding. You are not alone on this journey.
I am both a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) and a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC). As a CCLS, my focus is to empower children and families with individualized support to meet their specific health needs. As a FMCHC, I work with children, families and adults to help transform their health in ways specifically designed for them.
I have had the privilege of walking next to children and their families during some of the most challenging times of their lives. In 2014, my role flipped, when our middle daughter was diagnosed with a rare health condition. I have a deep understanding regarding the impact of illness on both the child and family. We live it, every single day.
