You’d be surprised how often I hear, ā€œYour poor children,ā€ or, ā€œI can’t believe you have children!ā€
My patients often think I never see them. I guess they see my dedication and assume I’m so busy that I couldn’t possibly have time for much else.
Biologically, I have two children, but with all of my nieces, nephews, godchildren who I adore, I like to say I have ten! All ten of whom I love beyond words.
Building LivHealth is my passion, but my children are my grounding force.
Over the last five years, as I’ve built LivHealth, one of my proudest achievements has been finding a rhythm that allows me to be there for my children while caring for my patients.
I’m blessed with a village, yes! I couldn’t do it without them. However, I’m also intentional. From school drop-offs to after school silliness, I make the time. Quality time isn’t accidental; it’s something I choose weekly.
Today, I’m taking a moment to honour that. Not just building a service for others, but making space for my own. Working moms… I see you!
Balance looks different for everyone. Some days the scales shift, but my children remain at the centre, always.

As this new year begins, I’ve been reflecting on some of the most meaningful lessons I’ve learned.

Not from books or lectures, but from my patients with their wisdom at the end of their life’s journey. These quiet moments of honesty and clarity have stayed with me. They’ve shaped how I live and continue to guide me.

So today, I’d like to share five of those gifts of wisdom I carry with me, that I hope may offer something meaningful in your own journey this year.

SWIPE TO URWAP

May this new year bring us all clarity, courage, and peace.
May we all live with less fear, more love, and a deep gratitude for the time we’ve been given.

When I first look at this picture, my instinct is to criticize.
God, I’ve gained weight. I see my double chin, the wrinkles on my forehead. I notice how I’ve aged—especially in the past year.
I would never post this picture.

But on second glance, I see something else.
I see happiness.
A woman who has reached a place in life where she truly doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

My new lines tell the story of everything I’ve endured.

As Mitch Albion says in the book ā€œTuesdays with Morrieā€
ā€œAging is not just decay. It’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die; it’s the positive that you understand you’re going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.ā€

And most of all, I see myself in my scrubs—doing a job I love.
How many people can say they live their dream every single day?
Even if it gives you wrinkles…
wrinkles of joy.

Wishing everyone a very happy New Year.
Here’s to 2026—and fully embracing who we are.

šŸŽ„šŸ¤ What This Season Means to Me:

Spending Christmas outside of Trinidad made me realize something deep… šŸ‡¹šŸ‡¹TRINI CHRISTMAS IS REALLY DE BESS!

Christmas is always a time for family, but what makes a Trini Christmas truly special is community. There’s a warmth here that feels different.

šŸ™ Everyone is welcome and everyone belongs.

That same spirit of togetherness is something I see in my work too.
Every Christmas, my patients surprise me.

šŸ‘‡šŸ½šŸ‘‡šŸ½šŸ‘‡šŸ½

šŸ° Last year, a patient told me her Christmas wish was simple: to regain enough strength to bake her famous cake again. She did it, and the memory of sharing that cake with her is one I’ll carry with me forever.

šŸŽ Then there was my patient who was bedbound. He conspired with his caregiver who went all the way to the mall to find me an extra-special gift, which he then wrapped himself. That small act of kindness reminded me that even when the body weakens, the heart remains strong.

As a doctor, this season holds a tender weight. For some of my patients, this will be their last Christmas. I often think of one patient who told me shortly before he passed away, ā€œDoc, thanks for the parang last Christmas ah, it really meant a lot to me.ā€ Those words stay with me.

āœØļø So yes, at @ā€Œlivhealthtt we start early. We overdo. We celebrate life, love, and togetherness, because this is Trinidad, and that’s our way.

It’s more than tradition; it’s love made visible.

šŸŽ„ This Christmas looks very different for me personally, but I intend to welcome it with open arms and a grateful heart, because I know that every Christmas is a gift, and I never take one second for granted.

Proud of my whole team!

This morning I woke up to discover what my sweet little rescue dog is capable of when jealousy strikes. He tore down the entire Christmas tree just to reach the one thing stealing his little humans’ attention… and absolutely mauled poor Elfie.
Elfie has been part of our family for 10 years, and today he’s sporting a broken femur, a head laceration and—yes—a catheter.

Huge thanks to the LivHealth team for saving him šŸ˜‚
Elfie will not be able to work for at least a week.

We spent the afternoon blending scents, learning aromatherapy, and reconnecting with the quiet magic of being present. 🌿✨
I love showing the girls that healing is more than medicine — it’s breathwork, intention, nature, and spirit. Teaching them this balance from young feels like planting seeds for a grounded future. And yes… choosing stillness over screen time is its own kind of blessing. Check out- Lorraine O’Connor

Bet you didn’t know I was a Swiftie!! āœØšŸ’ƒšŸ½
Sneaking in a little Fate of Ophelia dance break between patients — because why not?

I love everything about her music… the storytelling, the strength, the magic. And dancing to it with my daughter?
That’s the real gift.
She had all the patience in the world teaching me these moves — even with a full video-bomb from her little brother. šŸ˜‚šŸ’›

Here’s to a little Swiftie, to big memories, and to finding joy in the in-between moments. ✨🩵

šŸ‘€ Here’s something you might not expect from a doctor…

This past year I was in the Compassionate Space Fellowship; a program that taught me to bring architecture and compassion into the same toolbox. It changed the way I see care.

When I told people I was going to do this fellowship I kept hearing, ā€œHuh? But you’re a doctor. Why are you studying human-centred architecture now?ā€

šŸ—£ My answer today:

ā€œā€¦Because healing isn’t only about prescriptions and procedures. It’s about the light that reaches a bedside, the dignity of a private chair for a family member, and the way a corridor can either calm or confuse a moment.ā€

Medicine taught me how to treat bodies, but design taught me how to create the conditions for healing, and that is something that’s always been important to me.

If there’s one thing you can count on me for, it’s that I will never stop learning. This fellowship arrived at a time when I needed space to slow down, reflect, and bring curiosity back into my work.

šŸ¤ It connected me with people who think in similar, strange, generous ways, and for that, I feel seen.

Taking what I learned, I’ve been so excited to share ā€˜The Evergreen House’ with you; a top tier residential hotel for seniors. Alongside the amazing Gilla Tang, Interior Designer and project coordinator ( ), we poured heart into every detail of this space, down to the garden.

It’s somewhere I would want to see myself in!
