Dr. Gail Wyatt, PhD.

Clinical Psychologist, Professor and Director, UCLA Sexual Health Program and Dept. of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences

I was one of the first NIMH funded early career investigators to be funded for 17 years to develop a protocol to examine the socio cultural context of sexual decision making among African American men and women which set the template for my career. Over the past 35 years, my work has identified gender and cultural beliefs that contradict HIV prevention messages. They are associated with heightened sexual and drug related risk taking. I have developed a conceptual framework to use in HIV interventions with African Americans and tested culturally congruent interventions to increase the proportion of condom use and to reduce psychological distress among HIV positive men and women with histories of sexual abuse, trauma, and substance abuse histories. I was the initiator of a multi- disciplinary team that developed and tested the first culturally congruent intervention for HIV sero- discordant African American couples in four cities with NIMH in a U10 grant mechanism for 8 years.

This was the first and largest intervention developed and tested for self-identified heterosexual male and female couples, which represents the most common mode of HIV transmission in the world. The organization and management of a national study has enhanced my experience in working with large datasets with geographical distinctions important to assess as mediators and moderators of HIV related outcomes, histories of drug and alcohol abuse included. Further, the mentoring of new investigators in culturally congruent HIV and substance abuse research has also been an important asset to past and current studies. I was also principal investigator of our team that was awarded the ARRA funded HIV Translational Training Grants and a NIDA funded training program with over 30 Scholars who conduct pilot studies and apply for R series grants. For 12 years, we have trained 15 South African scholars to conduct research and pre-doctoral students for 4 years. Nine of those first authored articles were published in May, 2017 in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Policy and Practice, an APA journal, by Phodiso graduates. Their research datasets are now used to teach over 200 undergraduate and 11 pre doctoral scholars ( thus far) from across the country to conduct research on the effects of Trauma, and Mental Health on risks for HIV/AIDS in the NIMH funded Tirisano (working together) Project. Domestically, I have directed the current Collaborative Center for Trauma and Mental Health Disparities, chaired and organized weekly meetings and hosted receptions for distinguished speakers and monthly research methods meetings and have mentored new and established investigators. My research has generated over 250 publications, 6 books and 10 Congressional documents that can influence the implementation, funding and policies related to evidence based interventions that address the needs of communities that serve HIV infected and at risk populations.

Beth Houser Coughlin, M.S.Ed,

Owner/Director of The Living Foods Institute at Tula Health

Beth is owner and director of The Living Foods Institute at Tula Health. Early in life Beth learned the value of good health and natural healing from the balance of her medical Dr father and yoga teacher mother. Beth started her professional career as a Health and English teacher at a school for children with special needs, later serving as principal of the school. In the early 2000s, she left the school to open a yoga and natural healing facility, which she owned and operated until her father was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease, seven years later. Her concern for her father led her to return to graduate school and delve more deeply into her research about neuroplasticity, brain healing and the gut-brain connection. Her master’s thesis focused on the specific impact of yoga on neurological functioning. Beth feels strongly that one of the reasons for the many success stories over the past 20 years at the Living Foods Institute relates to the unique approach to gut health, microbiome reseeding and the concurrent nurturing of the mind and the gut during the programs. She looks forward to the continued growth of The Living Foods Institute at Tula Health, eventual opening of new locations, and the opportunity to bring balanced natural healing to a broader market.​

Aesthetician and Makeup Artist

​Having been a freelance makeup artist and licensed Aesthetician since 2001, I have acquired extensive experience in skin care and makeup techniques over the years... Makeup is not only my job, it is my passion.

I think of the ability to create and change through makeup as an art. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a client beam with pleasure when their new look is revealed and to see how much exterior enhancement changes the level of confidence they exude. I am inspired by the face I am in front of. Each person has features unique to them, and I like to use what nature has given as a guide for my creative vision for each individual.

Because of the variety of avenues within the industry that I have sought to explore, I consider my abilities with Makeup to be well rounded and diverse. I am able to efficiently provide a level of expertise whether it be in film, commercials, photo shoots, weddings, event makeup or teaching in a classroom, I am confident that I can provide an exceptional service with my skills in Makeup Artistry.

Skincare complements my makeup work perfectly, because every bride I work with, every public figure walking a red carpet, every person on any walk of life who has a face and is breathing -needs skincare!! So I love that I have that really important service to offer in addition to Makeup.

​Become aware of your breath, energy and movement and you’ll know how to pump it up, cool it down and even it out and you’ll feel inner power and harmony like never before.  Alyse Hart was once a hard charging executive in NY, LA and Silicon Valley; hustle and overextension was the norm and replenishment and flow was infrequent.  Stress and cortisol created “heat” and inflammation and a tough perimenopause/menopause decade followed. Today she understands hormonal hijacks and energy management for self-regulate and harmony and it’s her mission to share Qi Gong with you. Your “second spring,” means your best years are not behind you and real vital energy can be yours. It’s simple to learn—quickly and easily. 

She tried many modalities of body awareness and mindfulness movement techniques and still uses several.   However, her “go to” is Qi Gong; and it found her. It focuses on the skillful use of life force energy.  In India Qi is called Prana, Rausch in Hebrew and Mojo in America. It's affected by your thoughts, foods, the elements around you and movement. As your system changes you can cool your system and end redundant thoughts and pay attention to sensations indicating imbalances. 

Alyse is a forerunner and participated in a number of firsts. First, she was invited to study and teach Qi Gong for WW’s (formerly Weight Watchers) body mind and spirit pilot program and now teaches at the newly formed Women in Technology Wellbeing Center. Her ability to share strength and softness, vulnerability, and humor with down to earth simple routines to optimize your body, mind and spirit in 5-10 minutes makes it do able. You’ll experience a shift and feel greater agency in your body.

Her company,Freebirdmojo.com, focuses on self-mastery and natural ways to ground, balance,  and increase vital energy.   Alyse holds a certificate from Grief Recovery Institute and is a certified Holden Qi Gong instructor. Inner power and insights await as you work with her privately or in group classes coming in October.

Dr. Walter Pierpaoli

MD, Author and Researcher.

​Walter Pierpaoli, a physician who dedicated 50 years of his life to research, publishing over 140 experimental scientific works in major international scientific reviews.

Founder and president of Interbion Foundation for basic biomedical research in Switzerland, 1980. Author of the best seller: The Melatonin Miracle in 1996, he is known all over the world for the identification of the biological clock in the pineal gland.

Some of his research findings indicate that, apart from helping to modulate circadian rhythms, improve sleep and regulate the immune response, Melatonin protects the pineal gland from aging.

Dr. Pierpaoli believes that the control of these rhythms and the protection of the pineal are of critical importance in antiaging. His research had profound implications and contributions in the development of the Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging and his therapeutic method based on Interhormonal Resynchronization. “It is essential to forget about age and as my dear friend Ashley (Montagu) said: “The idea is to die young as late as possible.”
