Core Values
Meet the Founders
Dr. Shirlene Sulatan
Dr. Shirlene Sulatan, who holds her Doctorate in Nurse Practice specializing in both Psychiatric and Family Health, transforms her extensive expertise into a global mission of compassion and healing. Based in the beautiful coastal community of Kona, Hawaii, she balances her role with the Department of Veteran Affairs with her commitment as an Advanced Practice Nurse in the US Naval Reserves, while also serving as a Jay Shetty certified life coach.
Her dedication extends far beyond traditional medical practice, weaving together her love of travel with a profound commitment to serving diverse communities worldwide. The unique combination of her specialized training in mental health, family medicine, and life coaching allows her to address the complex needs of both military personnel and civilians with a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnection between mind, body, and personal fulfillment.
As a military healthcare professional, veterans’ advocate, and life coach, Dr. Sulatan brings critical medical expertise alongside transformational coaching methodologies to populations who have served their country. From the shores of Hawaii to remote locations across the globe, each destination becomes an opportunity to provide essential healthcare services, life-changing guidance, and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Her work embodies the highest ideals of her profession—bringing hope, healing, and human connection to those who need it most.
Ronel Sulatan
Ronel Sulatan, a dedicated Nurse Practitioner from Big Spring, Texas who now calls the beautiful shores of Kona, Hawaii home, transforms healthcare into a mission of hope and connection. Beyond his clinical practice, Ronel’s passion for helping people extends to community outreach and humanitarian efforts that reach communities both in his island paradise and across the globe.
Driven by a deep-seated commitment to healing, Ronel combines his medical expertise with a love for travel, turning each journey into an opportunity to provide care, support, and compassion to underserved communities. The contrast between his former home in the arid landscapes of West Texas and his current tropical surroundings reflects his adaptability and commitment to bringing quality healthcare to diverse environments.
Whether he’s offering medical support in rural clinics, participating in health education programs, or volunteering in community health initiatives across Hawaii’s diverse communities, Ronel embodies the true spirit of healthcare—connecting with people, understanding their needs, and making a tangible difference in their lives while enjoying the natural beauty and cultural richness of his island home.
Cassandra Sulatan
Cassandra Isabelle Sulatan is a dedicated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSRN) professional whose passion extends far beyond traditional healthcare. With a heart as nurturing as the plants she loves—tenderly caring for her small urban garden with the same compassion she brings to patient care—she approaches her work with a unique blend of medical expertise and heartfelt dedication.
By day, she works tirelessly in community health initiatives, bringing medical support to underserved populations. Her love of learning shines through in her diverse interests, from medical journals to books on social justice and global health, much like how she nurtures each plant in her garden with careful attention and hope.
