why kuya?
As a nation, we are getting sicker.
Our current medical models have failed at addressing chronic health conditions and the impact is scary. Too many of us are struggling with our health, our relationships, and unhappiness. Mental illness is an epidemic that is threatening to destroy us.
We deserve better.
That requires a radically different kind of mental healthcare. Not an iteration of the current model. Not a new drug within the current paradigm.
Kuya was not created as a band-aid for a broken system. Kuya was designed as an entirely new system. One where you’re guided not just toward healing, but also wholeness. Where values and ethics drive decisions. Where everything is experienced within the context of community.
guiding you home to wholeness
Transformational Medicine is our revolutionary new approach to healing, one that addresses all of you, treats root causes, and immerses you within a support system that not only heals you, but also brings you into a body that feels good, that you are confident in, and that is in good relationship with the world around you.
There are three pillars of healing within Transformational Medicine:
Empowerment | Whole human care | Community
Paradigm shift: medicine that empowers
Old medical models keep you passive to authority and force you to always take a back seat to your physician’s knowledge. Transformational Medicine puts you in control of your own health, which we believe is essential for your long-term well-being.
The experiences we guide you through at Kuya are designed to help you gather knowledge and, in doing so, gain lasting wisdom about how to create a life that feels good to you.
You’ll gain confidence, knowing that you are able to maintain your transformed state no matter what comes your way. You will come into your power through two primary pillars:
Transformational mentorship helps you acquire the confidence and wisdom necessary to reach your desired state.
Your mentor will guide you to understanding the following insights:
- Suffering is pain without meaning
- Finding the meaning behind your pain leads you forward, through healing
- Crisis precedes transformation every time
- Your discomfort is fuel for growth
- What your healing journey looks like
- What your future transformed self looks like
Transformational maps illuminate a clear path to help you navigate the complex landscape of healing.
Finding your way along the path of healing isn’t easy. Without a clear direction and support, you may get lost along the way. Maps empower you by providing a clear light on the trail ahead and showing you what to expect along the journey as well as the outcome you’re moving toward.
At Kuya, we invite you to step into your potential in a way that is humble, dignified, natural, and evolutionary.

Confidence in your care
Medical specialists are trained to look for problems and find solutions within their area of expertise. If you’re depressed, a psychiatrist will analyze, diagnose, and treat you through the lens of psychiatry.
But often other factors such as chronic gut inflammation, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or low testosterone are contributing to your depression. Traditionally most psychiatrists won’t look for these things, nor would they know how to solve them if they did. The result is that depression perpetuates and you are left feeling frustrated and hopeless.
You are a whole human, and when no one considers the whole you, they cannot uncover all of the factors that are contributing to your dis-ease.
Our model of whole human care, on the other hand, leaves you feeling whole—more integrated, more resilient, free from limitations, medications, and codependence—and better equipped to navigate your life.
We bring together multiple disciplines under one roof, blending functional medicine, regenerative medicine, performance medicine, functional neurology, integrative psychiatry, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. We look at you as a whole human including your brain, body, and mind, and we treat you as the complex and interrelated system you are.
Once we have a whole picture of your health, we create a treatment plan that addresses all of the root causes and optimizes all areas of need. You embark on a healing journey where all systems are supported so you return to greater harmony and balance.

A new home, one that supports your well-being
Community is vital to the authentic being inside every human who knows their life is sacred, precious, vulnerable, and majestic.
At Kuya, we take your hand and welcome you into a community of master practitioners and a larger circle of authentic human beings all working toward a better world. Together, we will help you make your way through the sometimes challenging, always interesting process of your own healing and maturation.
When we’re connected to others, we have lower levels of depression and anxiety, we feel better emotionally, and we report a greater sense of well-being. Studies have also shown that greater social connection leads to stronger immune systems and faster recovery from disease.
We built Kuya to be a vibrant hub full of human interactions where you meet others who understand you and your journey and you feel supported no matter where you are in the process.
For all that make up this community of care, we invite open, authentic communication and we listen. The feedback we hear educates us about what’s working, what’s not, and how to improve. Kuya is an evolutionary model where all voices are valued in service to the greater good of all.
When we’re all moving toward transformation together, we are stronger and more likely to succeed.
