Introducing dot.: Weaving Wellness Together
In the quiet corners of our lives, where the threads of our well-being fray and tangle, there exists a longing for something more—a beacon to guide us through the labyrinth of our struggles. That’s where dot. emerges, a holistic wellness social enterprise that transcends the ordinary, stitching together the disparate aspects of our existence into a seamless tapestry of growth and resilience.
The Journey Begins
As a second-generation Canadian, I navigated the familiar landscape of childhood, not knowing what lay ahead. At twelve, I grappled with new, nebulous feelings — uninvited guests in my mind. I stumbled through the years, seeking answers, and self-diagnosing with anxiety and depression towards the end of high school. The medical maze offered prescriptions, but no compass to navigate the wilderness of my well-being. Suicidal ideations casted shadows over my youth.
The Struggles Worsen
University beckoned—a fresh chapter. Amid newfound independence, I sought solace in a free Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program. It helped, but I remained adrift for the rest of my twenties, feeling up, down, and all around. My struggles seemed unique, isolating. Fragmented systems failed me, leaving me yearning for personalized guidance. Then, a serendipitous journey to Asia brought some relief only to end in pain; broken shoulder bringing me home, I was reminded: wellness transcends the mind. Physical health, social bonds, financial stability—all interconnected threads.
From Darkness to Dawn
Coming back right as COVID hit, I was then scammed out of my savings, leaving me at rock bottom during potentially the loneliest of times. After 18 months, an unexpected shift occurred — responsibility, community, purpose, and holistic wellness. I emerged slowly, feeling the need for life again. Through effort in a few of the aspects of wellness, I felt changed. It was due to that metamorphosis, dot. crystallized — an oasis for those seeking more than survival.
