Lista Wellness

Hi, I am Lista Qanaatia Spensley-Tagornak!

(she/her)

a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Art Therapist,

Workshop Facilitator and Consultant

currently living in Victoria, BC and working world-wide.

My first name is Lista which means "ready" in Spanish.

My Inuk name, Qanaatia, could be interpreted as

"support", or more literally "tent-pole" or "spear" in Inuktitut. Qanaatia is also the name of my

highly respected maternal grandfather.

Pictured above are ‘Aupaluktunnguat’, in Inuktitut, or 'purple saxifrage' flowers.

They are the official territorial flower of Nunavut & the most northerly flowering plants in the world!

These beautifully resilient & little (1cm wide) flowers pack a whole lot of meaning:

They overcome harsh/long winters, hug the ground, are often the first pop of colour to appear in the Spring,

thus, symbolizing warmer/lighter days ahead, and even continue to flower during the Summer!

I acknowledge, with respect, the

W̱sáneć (Saanich) and W̱jołełp (Tsartlip)

people on whose traditional and unceded territories Lista Wellness stands.
