Meet Living Well Institute: Rebooting to meet healthcare needs during COVID-19 & beyond

Meet the new face of PYTI, Living Well Institute and all the new programs we have to offer. I am excited to announce our new website, new name, new look, new patient care services, and new programs!

Why make the change?

The process of rebuilding during COVID-19

I sat down in front of my computer, exhausted, the morning after flying back on a red eye from the hot zone in California on March 16. I knew I was facing quarantine, a closure of my clinical practice, and cancellation of all of my scheduled in-person courses.

I had already been working for months on the new programs launch. And sadly I knew the old site just couldn’t house the new programs.

But instead of losing hope, I decided that COVID-19 was offering me a silver lining. It was time to reboot and allow Living Well Institute to meet our new healthcare needs during COVID-19 and beyond.

I have been working behind the scenes for over a year to make this transition. I just wasn’t sure when the right timing would be. Since there is no such thing as perfect timing, I figured the universe (thanks coronavirus) was offering me the time to go dark on the internet for nearly 10 days while I created the new site behind the scenes.

Vulnerability, Meet the National News Hour

During that time I was contacted by PBS News Hour after I made a comment on their Facebook feed about coping during COVID-19. I had no idea then that my story would became part of their final piece on Americans suffering form the pandemic’s financial fallout.

It was a hard interview to do, and it certainly wasn’t how I wanted to make my debut on national news. But I feel it was important to embrace the raw vulnerability and discomfort I felt. So I agreed to do the interview, because it was my way to share suffering and the burden that this “new normal” is creating for us all. Together, is the only way we can move forward and recover.

Through this hard transition and incredible uncertainty we are all living, I am excited for you to meet Living Well Institute. The name was chosen because it is a full circle return to my company’s namesake, Living Well, Inc. The change reflects our bright and hopeful future.
