Hey there, I’m Dr. Vivian Võ Okuma, DPM (she/her) 👋🏼

There were so many internal signals for me of things being “wrong” throughout the years. Here are the major ones:

• When I had a full body reaction of “no’s”, which I quickly discounted, before getting into relationships that were not for me (one turned out to be abusive)

• When I still didn't feel enough after I finished my residency and became a full-fledged doctor/surgeon. The absence of joy during this milestone was shocking to me.

• When I had my worst lupus flare yet (since 2012), which coincided with the peak of the pandemic, the raw emotions of George Floyd’s murder, and the disturbing rise and footage in anti-Asian violence. It was a time of immense stress and fear, culminating in a trip to the Emergency Room.

You see, chasing external achievements and goals, neglecting my own needs and desires, not having an awareness of my internal landscape and how limiting my beliefs resulted in burnout, feelings of loneliness and isolation, and a health crisis.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping AAPI folks. We juggle societal expectations, internalized pressures, the strong need to help our communities, and the constant feeling of needing to prove ourselves.

I come in to help you find belonging within yourself, embody “enoughness” without changing anything externally, and from this strong foundation, be able to take courageous, intentional action.

My mission is to empower you to:

• 😌 Cultivate mental fitness and inner peace

• Shed self-doubt and embrace your inner strength 💪🏼

• 🌌 Connect with your unique purpose

• Become a powerful force for positive change in the world 🌎

I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can thrive authentically.

Let's embark on a journey together towards a life of freedom, purpose, and peace. Contact me today to learn more about how I can support you.🫶🏽
