Along with her intentional practices of continually growing spiritiually, she is currently working on a few passion projects that involves encouraging others on their wellness journey. Two different ways that she has chosen to do this is by being an End-of-Life Doula to those who are planning for their end-of-life journey and by opening A Better Today Books & Boutique. Balancing her role as a wife and mother, Viola also has an active role in the health care of her mother who has been living with stage 4 cancer for over 5 years. In her free time, Viola enjoys reading, riding her bike, and decorating her home.
