We Are IH: Healing through courage and strength

Randine’s compassion helps her connect with people, learn new information, and increase mindfulness, intention and gratitude.

“My proudest moments are hearing back from patients and their families that I have helped them see themselves differently. They share that they felt seen, cared for and respected. In turn, they start to believe more in themselves and show up in their lives in healthier ways.”

Randine looks forward to new opportunities to connect with others and be a part of innovative practice that helps people's healing process and sense of self-worth.

“I like to dwell in possibilities! Helping to provide moments of lift.”

She also hasn’t let the pandemic slow her down. In 2021, she self-published a parenting book called Connected: Before Birth and Beyond. Part memoir, clinical and research-based, the book supports parents anywhere they are in their parenting journey.

Randine loves creating things that touch others' hearts. She cherishes her time spent with friends and family, as well as hiking, reading, writing, creating, and listening to podcasts.

This summer Randine will say “I do” – marrying her partner, Peter, in a backyard wedding.  She looks forward to officially blending two beautiful families.

“The last couple of years have brought significant challenges to our world. Work-wise, everyone has responded wholeheartedly to care for patients and each other. I am proud to stand amongst you all.”

Randine nominates Olga Kastioukevich, Occupational Therapist, to keep We Are IH going:

“I have had the pleasure of working with Olga for many years in the tertiary mental health system. Olga is the most compassionate, caring and kind person I know.  Olga leads her practice with respect, dignity, hard work and always keeps the patient and the patient's family at the centre of her focus. IH is fortunate to have Olga as part of the team.” – Randine Mariona
