Courage to live
your True Nature
Every journey begins with a spark—a moment where you dare to step beyond expectations
The tug-of-war between success and well-being.
My story started with the humble walls of a blue-collar immigrant home in California, where I learned the essence of resilience, survival and hard-work. As I climbed the academic ladder from Columbia University for college then Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where I completed all my medical training through residency and fellowship, my story transitioned into the high-stakes environment of the operating room as a neurosurgeon — here a split second or a submillimeter micro-movement could mean the difference between life and death for a patient.
My journey of academic excellence and surgical precision was merely the beginning. By 36 years old, I had already achieved all the outward appearances of success — a prestigious career, recognition as a national expert “KOL” (key opinion leader), coastal home, physical excellence with 7 half Ironman races, and more. I started to question the meaning and purpose of life. This lead me to a transformative retreat in 2018 that catalyzed a deep dive into self discovery, exploring the intangible with the metaphysical / spiritual world — healing from various traumatic events, shedding attachment wounds, befriending my inner critic & shadows, feeling the depths of “negative” emotions and uprooting core limiting beliefs while exploring a breadth of “non-Western” medicine therapeutic modalities.
My true purpose and calling.
To be in service of transformative healing & enduring health led to the creation of True Whealthness -- born from a personal revelation that success, happiness and health isn't the journey we were taught to believe and achieve but one rooted in the depth of emotional capacity, energetic attunement and reconnection to each of our unique gifts, our true nature.
These programs are my heart's work to help guide others back to their truest fullest potential, back to an awe-inspired connection with their body’s wisdom, back to a connection with Life that fuels our vitality.
I see too many patients and colleagues compromise their health and life for the societal standards of success. With over 20 years in the Western medicine system as a neurosurgeon “saving lives”, I've observed and experienced that the best way to really save a life is to empower the individual to live their fullest life congruent with their heart’s desire. This is also the healthiest life to live with the greatest potential for longevity and true prosperity.
True Whealthness™ is a life-changing experience.
It marries science with spirituality / metaphysics. Drawing on over 25 years of experience being a teacher and mentor for others, I expertly curated into these programs the fundamental building blocks of true health and wellness gained from my professional insights as a neurosurgeon and my personal experiences of self-healing with techniques such as hypnosis, nervous system rewiring, energy healing, and shamanism. I dream of a future where every high performing individual doesn't just excel in their careers but also enjoys an authentic purpose-informed, well-rounded life with a profound sense of well-being and a direct connection with the Universe.
This journey is a testament to the strength found in unity — the idea that success and health are not mutually exclusive, but rather, intimately connected. This is about redefining success — inner health and wellness are the critical foundations for true wealth, making it the most profound investment one can make in themselves, an investment into longevity, with the fullness and richness of life itself.
