We are busy women—yes! We have children who need us, families and partners who depend on us, and professional lives to manage—yes to all! We need to find time to exercise, access resources to eat right, nourish our families, and quiet our souls with meditation, prayer, and restful sleep. All these things matter. Yes, yes, and yes!
But what may be missing is a sense of belonging—a connection to others who face similar, albeit unique, challenges. It's about feeling less alone as we go through life. We know there are other women, many other women, living similarly stretched, overcommitted, and depleted lives, yet we often continue in our silos. We function alone in our pain.
That is why I founded the Empowered Women's Circle in 2017, with a vision and dream to bring women together to heal and reclaim their lives. For the last eight years, I have watched our community transform countless lives. When we paused our Circle to reflect on the next chapter, we sensed something bigger on the horizon—but had no idea what it would be until Effica Health emerged.
The world is changing, and women are awakening to the reality that there is more.
Life is not meant to be brushed aside, rushed through, skimmed over, and left behind. Life is not meant to be lived from outside the Circle—it's time to find yourself in your life.
Each time we connect with another woman, we find a piece of ourselves. Each time we help another woman, we help ourselves. Each time we extend love to someone else, we deepen love for ourselves.
We each bring our own gifts, talents, and expertise. We are daughters, mothers, sisters, and friends. We are parents, nurturers, entrepreneurs, spouses, business owners, and professionals. We play so many roles for so many people.
We help people heal their bodies, pursue their passions, nourish health, serve families, and manage our expanding responsibilities. We advertise, market, buy, and sell. We show others how to detox, relax, or communicate better. Then, we return to our lives—sometimes back to isolation, sometimes back to pain.
What I truly crave is a community where each woman learns more about herself through others. She might need a healthier body, a quieter mind, a cleaner environment, or a refreshed pantry. She might need more journaling time or a renewed relationship.
But beneath all these "self-improvements," what she really needs are friends—a supportive network of women who walk alongside her, connect with her, and do life together. The glue that holds the pieces of her renewed life together is a Circle of women who "just get it."
The exponential impact of this community will be felt in all that she does and all that she is.
As she works on strengthening her body, another learns to sleep better, and yet another deepens her intimacy. As these women rise toward their goals, they lift and teach each other, caring about each other along the way. She is no longer alone, and this sustains her momentum and motivation. It nurtures the awakening of her soul and catalyzes the realization of her dreams.
As Chief Medical Officer at Effica Health, my role is to set clinical standards, guide and mentor, provide structure, and support you throughout the journey. To hold your hand, create space, and cultivate the soil so you can germinate, blossom, and grow. In doing this, I grow as well.
Each woman knows what she needs as she learns to listen within. Growth and blossoming are already happening inside each and every woman. Transformation is underway—it only needs a place to flourish, a space to thrive, and a Circle to support others so they, too, reach their potential.
"Each time we connect with another woman, we find a piece of ourselves. Each time we help another woman, we help ourselves. Each time we extend love to someone else, we deepen love for ourselves."
With Effica Health's membership programs, women have access to a consistent community to grow and sustain our tribe between workdays, programs, workshops, and courses—a place to return to before and after the "stuff of life."
Effica Health is the continuity women need to "stay the course" so that life is filled with intention and purpose—a place to remain connected to oneself and to participate in the richness and joy of life, every minute of every day.
It's a place each of us can return to—again and again—wherever we are on our journeys or wherever in the world we live.
It's a haven we wish for all the girls and women we love—a way to better serve them, lift them, and help them shine their light into the world, just as we radiate ours.
This is the truth of Effica Health, and this is what I came here to do.
If you feel called, I invite you to join our growing tribe.
