#33 Dr. Rob Sands & Mike Reynolds - Pamlico Rose Institute for Female Vets

Published: April 13, 2020, 4 a.m.

Dr. Rob Sands is the co-founder of the Pamlico Rose Institute in Washington, NC which advances wellness programs for female Veterans. Pamlico focuses on connecting mind, body, spirit, and community through meaningful/persistent attention to nutrition, exercise, health, and spirituality and build resilience to help in reintegration.

Reintegration is more challenging for female Veterans due to: \xb7 conflicting roles and identity of mother, partner, and Veteran; \xb7 single parenting; \xb7 absence of support network and/or not self-identifying, \xb7 access to the VA difficult due to many factors. Building a strong foundation of wellness and resilience can help female Veterans overcome the effects of trauma and an uncertain future. Pamlico Rose promotes a holistic approach to wellness, Total Life Fitness (TLF), that builds a strong foundation of living fit and helping one move through the reintegration experience. Building resilience to adversity, TLF encourages an individual through mind, body, spirit and healthy relationships to focus on one\u2019s whole self. TLF programs include residential living, the arts, nutrition, gardening, connecting with nature, yoga, and other activities and will be offered at their Rose Haven Center of Healing in Washington, NC. Rose Haven includes a soon to be completed (Summer of 2020) rehabilitated 1892 farmhouse as a reintegration home, its adjacent historic barn as a multipurpose support facility, and a healing landscape that includes meditation and produce gardens. The Center covers \xbd neighborhood block in Washington, NC\u2019s historic district.
