Important Announcement Before We Proceed

• I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my Summer Book Club through "The Mindful Medicine Collective." We will dive into the insightful book "Woman Code" by Alisa Vitti, HHC, in collaboration with my friend and fellow Health Coach, Noelle Malpeso.
• Our inaugural meeting is scheduled for Sunday, June 16th, from 3–4 pm EST via Zoom. If you're interested in joining, please let me know!
• We will also set up a WhatsApp Chat Room for ongoing discussions between our monthly meetings. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to be part of it!

You can purchase the book or borrow it from your local library. For your convenience, I've included a straightforward Amazon link here for the paperback version. Kindle and audiobook editions are also available for those who prefer listening over reading, like myself!

The Revolution in Healthcare

As always, my commitment to transforming our healthcare system remains unwavering. I envision a future where functional and lifestyle medicine form the cornerstone of primary care, providing a root-cause approach to health and wellness.

Together, as we pursue this mission, I hope to foster meaningful collaborations among various holistic health professionals, including practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

The movement is progressing, albeit more slowly than I initially anticipated a decade ago when these ideas first sparked in my mind. Yet, we have gained significant momentum, with much more work ahead.

Since my mother's successful battle against Crohn's Disease during my teenage years, I have been driven to create a healthier world through access, education, and empowerment. This journey has profoundly shaped my understanding of medicine and the struggles faced by many in our current healthcare crisis.

I've witnessed the frustration stemming from overwhelming medical debt and the heartache caused by a lack of empathy in traditional care settings. This has fueled my advocacy for empathy-driven care models over the years. While we are making progress, the existing system still has significant shortcomings.

If you've ever felt there must be a better way, you're absolutely right. That is the vision I am working towards alongside many others in this field.

I don't perceive "others" in the industry as competitors unless they engage in unethical practices. Instead, I believe in forming win-win partnerships with those who share a commitment to supporting our interconnected community needs.

We are not competitors but teammates united in our mission. The market demands diverse and accessible holistic healthcare options, and we are far from saturation in this realm.

I hold a vision that many have yet to grasp, and perhaps this is why I've always felt aligned with mission-driven leaders and innovators. While others may focus solely on profit margins, I see the balance between caring for people and maintaining a sustainable business model.

I aspire to remain true to my values, preserving my integrity and legacy while navigating this journey. This alignment is essential for me to fulfill my commitments.

With this mission, vision, and set of values, I aim to serve you through content, training, and education, helping you live your best life as individuals and as part of our communities.

I have ambitious ideas and many collaborators I wish to involve in this journey. Over the past nine months, I've been fortunate to expand my capacity for making impactful changes.

I will share more updates in the coming weeks as I continue to grow my private practice and enhance my ability to contribute positively to the world.

Thank you for being here.
