Helping Leaders Build Resilient Teams. Grounded in Science, Guided by the Heart.
Harvard-trained cardiologist. Organizational well-being expert. Keynote speaker trusted by Fortune 100 companies.
I help leaders prevent burnout, build high-trust teams, and create cultures where people thrive.
My approach blends science, mindfulness, and heart-based leadership to drive lasting impact—from the inside out.
“The heart is more than an organ.
it’s the engine of human connection and sustainable leadership.”
The human heart is a powerful regulator of resilience, connection, and well-being.
Modern science is catching up to what ancient wisdom has always known.
The Just One Heart approach is built on four core dimensions of human flourishing:
Physical, Emotional, Social, and Spiritual well-being.
This evidence-informed framework helps leaders and organizations:
→ Reduce burnout and enhance leadership presence
→ Build trust, strengthen teams, and improve workplace culture
→ Foster lasting well-being for individuals and entire organizations
Instead of masking symptoms, we address the root causes of stress, disconnection, and low morale—through a human-centered, science-backed lens.
