Establishing a non-medical home care agency was motivated by my passion for making a difference in the lives of individuals who require assistance with their day-to-day living. As a home care agency, we've always had a deep empathy for those in need, particularly the elderly and individuals with health conditions or disabilities that have caused them to limit their independence. Mia Park, the founder of OrpineHomeCare, at a young age, grew up caring for her great-grandmother Mary, who was a great woman with the spirit of an angel, someone who would help anyone who was in need. Shortly before Mary's passing, Mia noticed Mary was not getting the care she deserved, and Mia dedicated her life to becoming the change in the world she hoped for her grandmother. Mia began working and volunteering for home care agencies and witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by individuals and their families in finding reliable, compassionate care. As her career in home care grew, she continued to observe the neglect of the patients and the lack of accountability. Mia took notice after several concerns, but nothing was changing; therefore, Mia decided to begin her non-medical home care agency, OrpineHomeCare, where not only could she work closely with her clients but also had the opportunity to create a strong team of dedicated, experienced caregivers to partner with you and your loved ones to provide exceptional care. Our purpose at OrpineHomeCare is to create a service that not only meets the physical needs of clients but also prioritizes their emotional well-being and preserves their dignity. OrpineHomeCare is here to provide a positive impact for those we work alongside and be able to support individuals in maintaining their current independence, promoting their quality of life that will empower them to age gracefully and comfortably in the space they call home.

Sarah Banks is a trauma-informed holistic yin yoga and movement instructor. With a background from Washington University in St. Louis, Sarah’s unique approach toward healing integrates the philosophies and teachings of both Western & Eastern Medicines.
Why yin yoga? Restorative trauma-informed practices such as yin yoga, somatic exercises & fascial maneuvers can help if you’re healing from stress/trauma, immobility and general dysfunction. These practices help to slowly stretch and open up the fascia and other connective tissues through the use of gravity and time.
Unlike HIIT or endurance training which can actually cause an increase in stress/trauma levels by raising your cortisol, these practices complement each other by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, thus reducing cortisol and stress levels, promoting increased circulation and lymphatic drainage, and helping to release tension and trapped emotions in the body.
Over time and with consistency, performing the maneuvers can eradicate pain and initiate healing in every aspect of the body from immobility, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, muscular dysfunction to general imbalance.
