About Tonya

I am a compassionate humanitarian who has a heart for service. I take great pride in the quality of care that I provide to my clients. I once worked very closely with a family of a brittle diabetic that had uncontrolled blood sugars. With meal prep, daily walks, goals and encouragement my clients hemoglobin A1C was below 7 in under 6 months. My client had not been under 7 in over 4 years.
