Hey FL GCs!
I’m Daniela Young, a genetic counselor and the founder of The Ōnda Collective, an evidence-based educational platform and community for personal growth and well-being for professionals.
I’m so grateful to FLAGC for inviting me to bring Ōnda energy to your annual education conference, and I’m truly looking forward to connecting with you.
Together, we’ll blend evidence-based insight with hands-on creativity, intentionality, and connection to explore what sustainable well-being really looks like in our profession. You’ll find the agenda and session details below.
This is an invitation to pause, exhale, and reconnect—with yourself, your community, and the parts of you that deserve care just as much as the patients, clients (and bosses!) you serve.
See you in April!
FLAGC Annual Conference

WEllness programing
WELCOME GATHERING
well-being for genetic counselors
4.30.26. 1 hour
1 category 1 CEU contact hour
pending NSGC approval
We’ll open by getting to know one another apart from our GC identity. We’ll reframe well-being as a professional competency, not an afterthought. This grounding session sets the tone for intentional presence, connection, and self-compassion.
CREATIVITY & CALM
guided DNA watercolor workshop
4.30.26. 1 hour
1 category 1 CEU contact hour
pending NSGC approval
We’ll review the science behind creativity as a well-being enhancer. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves and paint a DNA molecule together! We’ll quiet the mind, tap into flow, and reconnect with curiosity and joy. No artistic experience nor supplies (we’ll gift them to you!) required…
just a willingness to play.
BEYOND BURNOUT
breathwork and boundary setting
4.30.26. 2 hours
2 category 1 CEU contact hours
pending NSGC approval
Learn how stress lives in the body and experience a simple, science-informed breathwork practice to support nervous system regulation. We’ll explore how burnout shows up in genetic counseling and learn practical strategies for conserving energy through clear, values-aligned boundaries that you can take back into your work and life.
SIP & SHARE
Peer consultation discussion
5.1.26. 1 hour
1 category 1 CEU contact hour
pending NSGC approval
Join us for a cozy, facilitated discussion over our morning coffee/tea centered on themes from The Let Them Theory book by Mel Robbins. This conversational session invites reflection, shared wisdom, and connection around letting go of what no longer serves us and stepping into our own power. Purchase and read (or listen!) to the book in advance for an additional 10.6 CEU hours! Reading the book in advance is encouraged, but not required to participate.
