Zenovia Sadoway - Owner, B.A., B.Ed., M. Ed., CCA

The full story of how this business came to be can be found under the “Our Story” tab.
But a quick bit about me: I was an educator in BC for 10 years: as a classroom teacher, then a Special Education Department Head, then a District Department Head.
I taught for a couple of years in Saskatoon, before discovering my passion in Healthcare. This passion was discovered under dire circumstances, as my husband battled cancer.
I run this business ethically and compassionately in honour of my husband. RIP My Superman.

Givanna Freyling - Office Manager, B.A., B.Ed., PSW

Bisakha Paul - Staff RN, CCA
My name is Bisakha (Bee). I am a licensed Registered Nurse, having graduated the nursing program from U of S in 2022. I have been involved in healthcare, in one capacity or another, for many years. Previously I have worked in care homes, non-profit organizations like the Neurological Wellness Association, along with being a devoted volunteer for Music for the Gut; a benefit concert that takes place near the end of summer every year for Crohn’s & Colitis Canada. I enjoy the medical field because there is always something new to learn, I enjoy helping others and I hope to one day explore travel nursing. I look forward to future opportunities that may come my way with Village Rose, including training in music therapy. When I am not working or doing my studies, I like to watch Anime’s and singing along to songs I vibe with.
