About Us

Organizational Values

Fresh Start for Women believes the following core values influence everything we do:

 

  • Family – A safe, happy and healthy family is a positive influence in the community
  • Accountability – We encourage accepting responsibility for decisions made both personally and professionally
  • Integrity – We observe the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsible management of resources entrusted to us
  • Truth – We share God’s word and the power it holds to strengthen families and relationships
  • Faith – We cultivate an environment in which women have the opportunity to rediscover and reach their dreams and aspirations as they reconnect with a higher spiritual being thereby strengthening families and communities
  • Service – We passionately serve our clients with respect, love and understanding thereby promoting trust on their journey to healing and restoration

Our Philosophy and Beliefs

  • We believe that every moment in our lives prepares us for a greater mission. That by understanding the events that shaped us helps us to be more confident and self-assured.
  • We believe that by sharing of ourselves regardless of the differences in race, religion, and social-economic background we can all celebrate the uniqueness that is WOMAN.
  • We believe that every woman deserves to tap into their inner spirit in order to accomplish their hopes and dreams.
