And Why Coherence—Not Hustle—Is the True Catalyst for Creating Reality
We landed in San Francisco just before noon. The winter light, soft from the grey clouds overhead, held a quiet kind of electricity, as if time itself was ready to stretch, to soften.
Within minutes, I was wrapped in the arms of my grandkids. William’s joy radiated through his whole being. Mia’s steady, luminous presence met mine in that silent, knowing way only she can offer.
It’s in these simple moments that the body reveals what the mind can’t manufacture. Not because something is “finally relaxing,” but because true presence activates a deeper frequency. One that already exists beneath the surface. One that never left, it only needed to be witnessed.
We picked up William from school, hugged Mia at the door, and fell into a rhythm that didn’t require orchestration. It simply was.
This is the nature of coherence. It doesn’t arrive when everything slows down. It reveals itself when you meet the moment as it is; when your internal landscape is aligned, and the external world responds in resonance.
That evening, William curled up beside me during story time, his little body melting into the cushions, his breath moving in rhythm with mine. He didn’t need instructions on how to be present. He just was. And presence, when met with presence, creates a field. Not metaphorically. Energetically.
Our nervous systems aren’t just biological or mechanical, they’re instruments carrying codes of information we often call ‘energy’ or ‘frequency’. They play the frequency we’re holding. And when two coherent systems come into contact, they don’t just harmonize, they amplify.
Mia’s presence was quieter but equally profound. She’s stepped into a new chapter of herself; more independent, more internal, more selective about where and how she connects. She doesn’t curl up in the same way, but her invitations to conversation, her glimpses into her inner world, are a new kind of intimacy. One that requires stillness to perceive.
We cooked gluten free spaghetti and meatballs, our laughter as abundant as the sauce. We made gluten free cookies from The Holistic Holiday Table, the kitchen a joyful mess of almond flour and cinnamon, fingers dusted in sweetness, time suspended between oven timers and storytelling. In the days leading up to Christmas Eve, we walked the streets of San Francisco, letting the cold air wake up our senses, pausing to breathe it all in.
“I love Modern Holistic Health! They have really helped me to turn my health around. We are not completely finished and in maintenance mode [yet], but we are finding the last [pieces] of what is going on with me. My psoriatic arthritis symptoms are gone and I’m on NO medicine anymore. They have also been huge in helping with getting rid of the mold in my body and other bacteria that I didn’t know were [there].”– Kim, June 2025 [See more]
As another year begins, we often rush ahead, making lists, setting goals, promising that this year will be different. But before we charge forward, there’s something sacred about pausing. Reflection is where integration happens. It’s where the lessons crystallize, the healing anchors, and the vision for what’s next begins to emerge.
Over the years, through coaching, grief work, and my own seasons of rupture and rebirth, I’ve seen that transformation rarely begins with doing more. It begins with becoming aware of who we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and what no longer fits the person we’re becoming.
Looking Back with Compassion
Take a moment to think about where you were twelve months ago.
What have you walked through? What expanded you? What softened you?
Maybe you learned to set boundaries that once felt impossible. Maybe you stopped people-pleasing. Maybe you began to listen more deeply to your intuition. Or maybe, like many, you simply made it through. That alone is worthy of acknowledgment.
Growth doesn’t always look glamorous. Sometimes it’s found in the quiet moments when no one’s watching, when you choose truth over comfort, courage over control, or self-respect over approval.
The Power of Honest Reflection
Instead of asking, “Did I achieve everything I set out to do?” try asking:
How did I grow emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?
What patterns or fears lost their power over me this year?
What did life reveal to me about what truly matters?
Reflection isn’t about judging ourselves; it’s about seeing clearly. In my work with clients, this moment of clarity often becomes the turning point. When we recognize the beliefs, stories, and identities we’ve outgrown, we create space for something new to take root.
Releasing What No Longer Fits
Every season of expansion asks us to let go, sometimes of relationships, sometimes of habits, sometimes of the roles we’ve been unconsciously playing. This is where deep emotional and energetic work matters.

A Five-Month Transformation That Changed Everything
For years, Andrea lived in a state of constant anxiety, exhaustion, and fear. As a nurse, she knew the medical system inside and out, and she had little faith that anyone could truly help her. Panic attacks, sleeplessness, a racing heart, and a growing sense of hopelessness had become part of daily life.
In this powerful case study from Modern Holistic Health, Dr. V walks through how Andrea’s symptoms were not just physical, and not “all in her head,” but deeply connected to unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation that had been shaping her health for decades.
By addressing emotional trauma, neurological patterning, and physical root causes together, Andrea experienced a profound shift in just five months. What once felt overwhelming became manageable. Panic no longer controlled her life. And for the first time, she had tools she could use in real time to support herself.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, or persistent symptoms that haven’t responded to conventional approaches, Andrea’s story offers insight, hope, and a deeper understanding of what true root-cause healing can look like.
Healing, especially from long-held trauma, often requires more than one tool, one practitioner, or one approach. In this short video testimonial, Roxana shares what it has been like to work with Rosita Alvarez, describing her as both an anchor and a rare integrator of mind, body, and emotional healing.
If you or someone you love is navigating anxiety, trauma, or a complex healing path, Roxana’s words offer a powerful glimpse into what compassionate, deeply attuned support can look like.
This month’s featured programs are a part of my mission to spread lifesaving truths around the world. Together we can help as many people as possible to get their health back, their lives back, and live their lives with all the love, joy, health, and vitality they desire.
Remember, your health is in YOUR hands, but my team and I are here to help you learn how to be your own guarantee in life. Let’s thrive and heal together!

So many people come to us after doing “all the right things.” They’ve tried diets, supplements, protocols, and treatments, yet their symptoms persist. What’s often missing is not more effort, but deeper coherence within the nervous system and the body’s energetic field.
The Mind Body Energy Healing Program is designed to help you get to the true root causes of chronic symptoms by addressing the interconnected layers of emotional health, nervous system regulation, metabolism, environment, and energy. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a guided, data-informed healing journey supported by an experienced, compassionate team.
Over the course of a full year, program members receive ongoing assessments, personalized insights, group mentoring and healing sessions, and private one-on-one quantum healing visits. Together, we identify energetic and emotional patterns, unresolved stress and trauma, metabolic and absorption challenges, and environmental stressors that may be keeping your body stuck in survival mode.
Healing does not happen through force or hustle. It happens when the body feels safe enough to change. This program is for those who are ready to stop cycling through symptoms and begin creating health from a place of clarity, coherence, and support.
If you’re ready to approach healing differently, we invite you to take the next step.

Seasonal immune challenges are rarely solved by quick fixes. True resilience comes from supporting the body at a deeper, cellular level, especially when stress, travel, disrupted routines, or illness have already taxed the system.
The Cold & Flu Defense Bundle from BioOne Sciences was created to provide comprehensive, multi-layered immune support during times of increased exposure and recovery. This clinician-formulated bundle brings together foundational nutrients, antimicrobial botanicals, antioxidants, and essential minerals that work synergistically to support immune defense, detoxification pathways, and whole-body resilience.
Inside the bundle, you’ll find targeted support for immune modulation, microbial balance, mineral replenishment, antioxidant protection, and recovery at the cellular level. These tools are especially valuable when the body is under immune stress or working to restore balance after illness.
Rather than pushing the body harder, this bundle is designed to help your system respond intelligently, efficiently, and with greater resilience, supporting your body’s natural ability to defend, repair, and recover.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, practitioner-guided immune support during cold and flu season, this bundle offers a strong foundation.
Support your immune health this season.
Mental clarity and emotional balance are not just “mindset issues.” They are deeply connected to brain chemistry, nervous system health, nutrient status, and the body’s ability to adapt to stress.
The Brain & Mood Support Bundle from BioOne Sciences was thoughtfully designed to provide foundational support for brain health, mood stability, and cognitive resilience, especially during seasons of stress, low light, and increased mental load.
This clinician-formulated bundle brings together three key pillars of neurological and emotional well-being. Omega-3 fatty acids support brain structure, neurotransmitter signaling, and inflammatory balance. Targeted methylation support helps optimize neurotransmitter production, cellular energy, and emotional regulation. Vitamin D3 paired with K2 provides foundational support for mood balance, immune health, and whole-body resilience.
Together, these nutrients work synergistically to support clearer thinking, steadier moods, and a nervous system that can respond with greater flexibility rather than overwhelm.
This bundle is ideal for those navigating stress, low mood, brain fog, emotional fatigue, or simply looking to support their mental and emotional health from the inside out.
If you’re ready to nourish your brain and support your mood with a grounded, integrative approach, we invite you to explore this bundle.
Support your brain and mood naturally.

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
