This episode of Time We Discuss we learn about Jalisa Hardy, a holistic health practitioner, who shares her journey and insights into her practice. She discusses her transition from a conventional pharmaceutical career path to holistic health after discovering her passion for natural medicine during her senior year in college. Jalisa attributes her pivot to a transformative internship with a naturopathic doctor, which inspired her to explore holistic approaches to health and healing.

A pivotal moment in her journey was her mother's breast cancer diagnosis in 2016. Jalisa’s mother opted for natural treatments over conventional ones, which, under Jalisa's guidance and the support of a naturopathic doctor, resulted in her being cancer-free within four months. This experience affirmed Jalisa’s commitment to holistic health practices and led her to obtain a degree in natural medicine and board certification as a holistic health practitioner.

Jalisa explains the essence of her work, which focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues, encompassing physical, emotional, spiritual, and even financial aspects. Her approach emphasizes personalization, tapping into clients' innate ability to heal themselves. She describes holistic health as a diverse field with various modalities such as herbal medicine and energy healing, allowing practitioners to tailor their work to their unique skills and client needs.

Her career path was marked by significant mentorships, including her naturopathic internship and guidance from the SCORE program, which provided her with essential business insights. She acknowledges that holistic practitioners often face financial challenges due to the lack of insurance coverage for their services, which influences pricing and accessibility.

In her practice, Jalisa integrates tools like hair tissue mineral analysis and human design to create comprehensive health plans tailored to each client's needs. She aims to guide individuals toward physical and emotional balance by eliminating harmful habits and nurturing self-awareness.

As a single mother of three young children, Jalisa shares how she balances her entrepreneurial efforts with parenting, supported by a virtual assistant and structured daily routines. She emphasizes the importance of networking and relationships in building a successful practice and is actively transitioning to more in-person work, collaborating with other health professionals.

Jalisa also highlights her current projects, including She's Ready Society, a community initiative supporting first-generation mompreneurs in building sustainable wealth and health, and a planner designed to promote calm and organization. Her dedication to holistic health extends beyond client sessions, reflecting her passion for empowering others to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.

Jalisa's inspiring story blends professional growth, personal resilience, and a deep commitment to healing, making her a powerful advocate for holistic health.
