About Dee Ann Valles
"Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.” J. StanfordI witnessed firsthand what it meant to take risks as well as to have the dedication and sacrifice to build a business. My entrepreneurial father instilled within me a strong work ethic by going above and beyond for his customers, employees, and community to provide quality customer service with a kind and positive attitude. His example inspired my journey into entrepreneurship and to find work that aligned with my heart and provides needed services to help others. My lifelong curiosity has led to ongoing learning in my professional and personal life. Personal and family health challenges created my desire to shift from traditional healthcare to health and wellness consulting with a holistic and integrative approach and as an independent patient advocate. Bridging the gaps in conventional healthcare that have been created through the constraints on healthcare providers today with these valuable services will create optimal outcomes and wellness for clients. Traditional pharmacists play a key role in healthcare by advocating for the patient through collaboration with other health care professionals and educating patients about medications, health conditions, and lifestyle management to achieve optimal wellness for the patient. As an independent patient advocate and health and wellness consultant, I am able to utilize my healthcare background to help others through the challenging healthcare system as well as to incorporate a more holistic and integrative approach with conventional healthcare providers to achieve optimal wellness. I believe that we gain fresh perspectives from others and welcome new connections and conversations.
