Mandi Makoni is the Founder of Synergy Family Services, where she channels her lifelong passion for supporting both youth and adults in the community. With over 16 years of experience in various capacities, Mandi's work is deeply personal. Having been born into foster care and later adopted, she has firsthand experience of the emotional challenges and traumas that often accompany these situations. Her journey through mental health recovery and resilience, supported by her loving adoptive family, has fueled her commitment to helping others who come from hard places. In 2017, Mandi took a bold step toward her dream and launched Synergy Family Services, a space built to empower and support families and individuals through trauma-informed care. Her team is trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI), an approach designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma or are currently navigating difficult circumstances. Mandi believes deeply in creating a compassionate environment where healing and growth can happen, and her dedicated staff walk alongside those in need, providing a safe haven filled with love and understanding. Mandi is always eager to share her journey and connect with others. If you have questions or want to learn more, she encourages you to reach out via phone, text, or email, and she’ll personally respond. She emphasizes the importance of staying humble, counting your blessings, and, now more than ever, recognizing the need for community and support.
