Value-Based Learning Model
FACILITATION
Create considerate and inclusive communities. Instead of “selling” products, we build relationships. At Liftree, we are guardians of sacred spaces where people can safely let their vulnerabilities come out to play. We are facilitators of curated experiences.
AUTHENTICITY
We want to facilitate growth through stark, honest conversations. We will not pretend to have magical answers for human problems. We work through issues by using the learner’s own reality as a unique frame of reference.
DISCOVERY
The child-like joy of discovery is central to every learning activity so that the learner to fully engage and benefit from the experience. The teachinglearning process goes both ways to co-create a new understanding of the world around us. Just as the learner discovers new ideas, so does the teacher.
EMPOWERMENT
To empower is not to “give” power, but to bring the learner back to a place where they realise that they already have the power and to encourage them to seize it! Liftree is built on a foundation of empowerment which underlies every communication we undertake.

Working in the community with addiction & mental health shaped much of my early humanistic approach. For my Masters’ thesis, I had the opportunity to work with a pioneering e-learning team at University Health Network and Toronto East General Hospital. This healthcare curriculum was rolled out across hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area in 2012.
