FROM THE
The emotional upheaval that one is put through when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness is not alien to me . A diagnosis that impacts not just the person but the entire family ….I have been there too, watching my family navigate through the painful journey of cancer treatment . Often not knowing what’s next followed by how best to deal with what’s next !!!
But through it all I have learnt that pain, both physical and emotional, both the patient's and their family's can be assuaged if you avail the very crucial healthcare service that is called palliative care. A comforting specialised service for the complex ,difficult ,path ahead
With this in mind , and grateful for its benefits , my dear friend Pinky Debara and I established Cassia care to bring the comfort , peace and knowledge of palliative care to others life when caring for their loved ones .

FROM THE
My professional journey spans over two decades in the hospitality industry, followed by a leadership role in training within the US healthcare sector. I had planned to retire early, at 45, believing I was stepping into a quieter phase of life. Instead, personal loss and difficult experiences changed everything. Watching members of my own family navigate critical illness, often in isolation and without the support they truly needed, left a lasting impact on me. Those moments stayed with me and eventually became the reason I chose to build something meaningful.
​
I come from a background where service, empathy, and attention to people’s needs were central to my work. When I began to understand how deeply these values were missing in moments of medical vulnerability, I knew I wanted to help bridge that gap. It was this shared belief in human centred care that brought me together with my dear friend and like minded professional, Dr Zainab Samina Mohamed.
​
Together, we envisioned Cassia Care as a space where patients and families feel supported, heard, and cared for beyond clinical treatment alone. Through personalised care, thoughtful use of medical support, and a focus on emotional and psychological well being, we strive to ease the journey for families facing serious illness. Cassia Care is, at its heart, a reflection of what I wish my own family had experienced during our most difficult times.

Inspiration Behind our name
Our name comes from the herb of healing, cassia auriculata.
​
It holds medicinal properties in all its parts from the root to the seed to the stem and the leaves and flowers. This healing quality of the herb is what inspires our name.
​
We aspire, like this herb to be synonymous with healing of mind and body.
