Genine – Dental Assistant

Hi there. My name is Genine. I’ve been a dental assistant for what would now be my 14th year.

I am completely dedicated to all things I put my energy into, but I am immersed in soul healing & growth, animals, and the sacred responsibility of my role as a mother to my almost 13-year-old daughter, Mia. I live and breathe for her and the sacred dynamic we share on this earth with animals. I hope to get my license in the near future to become a wildlife rehabilitator.

I came back to the dental field because as an individual who is here to serve, I am very well in tune with others’ vulnerabilities & our own divine need as humans for safety. This is my wheelhouse.

I am happy to bring my own authenticity, compassion & dedication to each patient I serve. I look forward to meeting you and creating a sacred safe space for all of your dental experiences. Love and blessings to all!
