ABOUT US
Inspired by Community. Driven by Change.
OUR STORY
Founded by Joline in 2020, Sunrise Nutrition and Wellness was started to work with prenatal nutrition programs as a small way to support the lifelong health of Yukon families. In doing so, the need for increased access to health promotion and disease prevention programs and services across the Yukon became clear.
In May 2022, Joline left her job as a commitment to expanding our services. Sunrise Nutrition and Wellness began offering 1:1 support, and partnering with non-government organizations (NGOs) and First Nations governments to offer free health education and cooking classes across the Yukon.
Since then, we have offered nutrition education, diabetes education, 1:1 support for community members, professional development for healthcare providers, workplace wellness sessions, and food-skills workshops in Dawson City, Beaver Creek, Haines Junction, Whitehorse, Teslin, and Watson Lake.
It Always Starts With A Dream
In summer 2024, alongside moving into a new clinic space, Sunrise Nutrition and Wellness added a mental health practitioner to our team. Kamille has been an inspiring addition to the team.
Joline and Kamille have collaborated to develop our ‘Reclaiming Your Wellness’ workshop, centered around the interconnectedness of nutrition and mental health as a foundation for overall well-being.
2025 marked the 5th birthday of Sunrise Nutrition and Wellness. While we remain rooted in finding ways to increase access to free health education and support services through our community partnerships, the focus for 2026 is on building the Sunrise Community—creating more connection, support, and spaces where members can feel well, supported, and grounded in their lives. We are looking forward to offering more mental health and nutrition workshops, education, and support groups to the public in the coming year!
OUR VISION
Access to health promotion services in all Yukon communities.
At Sunrise Nutrition and Wellness, our mission is to make health education, food skills programs, and individual health services more accessible to everyone. We are dedicated to understanding and supporting the unique needs of Yukoners in all communities. We believe in inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that our services are purpose-driven and beneficial for all.
