The proverb, Necessity is the Mother of Invention, is our reason for starting New Leaf on Life. It's personal and painful. The lack of support and resources became evident when WE needed help with our loved ones.

The proverb, Necessity is the Mother of Invention, is our reason for starting New Leaf on Life. It's personal and painful. The lack of support and resources became evident when WE needed help with our loved ones. 


Identifying the lack of representatives and tools we needed to succeed in our stories made us realize that something's gotta change! WE'VE gotta change it! After a few years research, education, planning, collaboration, and partnerships, we are ready to help YOU start and sustain A New Leaf on Life!
