I’m Sandra. And I believe wellness starts with being seen.
Healthcare leadership experience, specialized training, and a personal understanding of what it means to begin again.
What life taught me beyond my professional experience.
For much of my career, I’ve worked in healthcare—helping organizations improve quality, understand their patients’ needs, and deliver better care. I learned to see the importance of good systems, meaningful support, and the small decisions that make a difference over time.
Then life gave me lessons I could never have learned in a classroom or a boardroom.
I’ve navigated profound loss, difficult transitions, and the challenge of finding myself again after years of carrying responsibilities for others. Those experiences shaped my understanding of what it really means to feel well. Not just how we look on paper, but how we live inside our own days.
I know that caring for yourself can be difficult when you’re exhausted, grieving, moving through menopause, or simply trying to meet everybody else’s needs. And I believe change begins by listening—not by handing you another list of things to do.
Because real wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all.
I founded VitalWave Health & Wellness to bring my healthcare background together with what I’ve learned through my own life. I wanted women to have a calm place to explore their goals without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that they need to change everything at once.
Some women come wanting more energy and strength. Others want support with nutrition, menopause, stress, grief, or a life transition. Often, these parts of life overlap.
“I want you to feel heard before we ever talk about a plan.”
My role is to help you find practical, sustainable steps that fit you.
Professional knowledge. Personal understanding.
My training informs my work. The relationship we build is what makes the experience personal.

Education & experience

Professional experience in healthcare leadership, quality improvement, operations, and value-based care.
I work as a coach and educator. VitalWave does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace treatment from licensed medical or mental health professionals.
How I put that experience into practice →You work with me, not a generic plan.
We take a whole-person view without trying to tackle everything at once. We choose priorities together, build manageable routines, adjust when life changes, and recognize progress beyond a number on the scale.
Listening. Practical education. Encouragement. Accountability. And room for your real life.
