Nina Taylor
FMHCC, BS
As the founder of Center Pointe Health Coaching, Nina’s focus is helping clients plan and implement health goals through small, incremental behavioral changes.” My background in psychology, along with a certification in Functional Medicine Health Coaching, I am a firm believer that the mind and body are connected. This is the foundation of my practice. In addition to being a practitioner, as a wife, mother, and business owner, having had health struggles myself, I understand that the journey to wellness can be complicated and difficult to navigate. By looking at each person as a unique individual, my role is to help educate, guide, and coach clients throughout their wellness journey. I am hoping to help clients create long term health.”
Sarah Villafranco
MD, Founder + CEO at Osmia
Dr. Sarah Villafranco spent ten years as an emergency physician. After a decade, she felt frustrated at the lack of emphasis on simple solutions to health issues, like nutrition, exercise, and stress management. After losing her mom to pancreatic cancer at age 64, Sarah took some time off to reevaluate things. She took a class making soap, and fell in love not only with soapmaking, but also with the way her skin felt after using handmade soap. She became obsessed with natural skincare, and locked herself in a room for two years (not really, but almost), studying and teaching herself how to make products. She launched Osmia in 2012 to help people find simple solutions to skin issues like acne, eczema, and dermatitis.
After a decade in the industry, Osmia has a stellar reputation for quality, transparency, sustainability, and authenticity in the clean beauty space. Their products help people find healthier, happier skin with meticulously researched and tested formulas, using sustainable ingredients of exceptional quality. Learn more about Sarah and Osmia here.
