It is one of our core values at Dr. Flo’s Place.

​

By training, I am a medical doctor (MBBS) with a doctorate in Life Sciences and Radiation Research (PhD) and over 25 years of experience in clinical practice, medical education, cancer research, and medical communications.

By heart, I am a daughter, sister, mother, friend, music lover, healthy food fan, and an avid sold-out supporter of women. I love creating safe, cozy spaces. Today, I'm building a community of women moving beyond surviving to Thriving as Queens. 

​

It took a lot to get to this point and it wasn't easy. You see, many years ago I was shattered, like so many are today. I found myself alone with 2 little ones under the age of 5 in a women’s shelter in a country where I didn't speak the language and had no friends or family. It wasn’t because I couldn't afford rent. It’s just that we’d gone through some stuff that no one should ever have to, and we needed a haven urgently.

At that time in my life I was broken–physically, emotionally, and mentally–I could barely
function in daily life. And no, I wasn't overworked or lazy. It was the constant fear and other sequelae, from trauma in places that should have been the safest. Things got so bad, that I was even asked to withdraw from the doctoral program I had crossed continents to enroll in.

Now, don't get the wrong idea, it wasn't because my grades had dropped or I wasn’t excelling, it was because my situation had become so incredibly challenging, life was so difficult, and I was constantly crippled by the lingering effects of a very toxic life experience. If you had asked back then, if anyone around expected that I would ever recover, raise a family, and graduate, they would have said no freaking way. 

​

I struggled with fear, anxiety, isolation, self-doubt, lack, and insecurity for years. Then I had a kind encounter with gratitude, and things turned around. While nothing had overtly changed around me, everything gradually changed inside me. I learned the power of gratitude and how that can change one's perspective. When our perspective changes, then our outcomes change as well.

 

                                             

 

                                            Gratitude and the tremendous support I received were the

                                                       ultimate game-changers. I learned to be grateful for   

                                                       everything I'd survived, as well as everyone I'd met on the way.   

                                                       I started to see each experience as a gift. I learned kindness and 

                                                       compassion for myself, in the same way I'd been conditioned to

                                                       show love and kindness to everyone but myself. I finally

                                                       understood the patterns that led to unhealthy choices and

                                                       decisions personally and professionally. Then, with a lot of help, I

                                                       started to unlearn them. Above all, I learned to truly love myself.

                                                       Then I chose to thrive.

 

​

So, If you are a survivor ...
Then, Sis, you've come through some tough stuff; I acknowledge you, and am so proud of you.
 

If you're ready to get unstuck from a toxic past, find joy, and thrive as a Queen, I'd be honored to show you how I did just that and support you in taking your unique first steps to creating a life you love.
