SPOTLIGHT
RoseMallow Market
RoseMallow Market, a non-profit (501c3), aims to provide all people with the opportunity to access the healing benefits of holistic health and wellness therapies. Each year we host an elevated wellness market that creates space for connection and growth between local businesses and the community. We are a market for a cause! There are two principal goals of the market: to connect local health and wellness professionals and vendors with each other and the community, creating a larger network of support, and to raise money to support the providers and clients. The funds raised provide those who demonstrate a need for access to packaged-based services via providers. Anyone who participates in the market does not have to pay the initial application fee to be in our network. Over the years, as a Functional Licensed Dietician/ Nutritionist I saw how the services in the holistic industry can feel out of reach. I created RoseMallow Market as a circular non-profit in hopes that as we support each other, others could benefit as well. Holistic healthcare should be inclusive and accessible. Our goal is to be the bridge that connects the two! The Market will offer a wide range of health and wellness vendors, such as organic smoothies and juices, high-end organic bath and body products, and organic herbal infusions. We also have many local health and wellness professionals joining: chiropractic offices, massage therapists, med spas, fitness centers, yoga studios, functional and holistic practitioners, acupuncturists, sound and energy healers, local mediation experts, hypnotherapists, and more! We’re covering the full spectrum of all things health and wellness and we have a DJ and exciting raffle items: a 90-minute in-home massage, a high-end organic bath and body gift basket, and a LUMEN!

Live Beyond Well
Ihave been in the functional/holistic world for over 10 years. Practicing as a Licensed Dietician Nutritionist and a Certified Nutrition Specialist, I have been helping people get back to feeling well via nutrition and lifestyle interventions in South Florida. Recently I have partnered with friend and colleague Kaitlyn Haley, LDN, two life coaches, and a personal trainer to form Live Beyond Well: A Holistic Women’s Collective. We use functional testing to provide individualized treatment plans for each client while creating a safe space for healing and growth with one-on-one biweekly practitioner meetings, course offerings, and a private online community.
We believe in a holistic approach that aims to support the body, mind, and soul. To join our subscription-based services, we begin with a Fundamental Assessment. The Fundamental Assessment allows each of us to meet with the client and develop a personalized plan. If the client would like to continue with us, we offer 12-month subscription-based options at an affordable rate. I am passionate about inspiring people to take care of themselves and in connecting people because it takes a community to heal. After many years of seeing clients individually through the years, I saw a need for a change. Our collective of practitioners works together to support each client. We each have a unique perspective and our own tools to best support their journey. Live Beyond Well was formed with the intention to create an optimal space for clients to heal via personalized plans, education, and community support.

UBYou
UBYou is a university-specific service designed to strengthen students’ lives while connecting them to their campus resources. UBYou provides an app for students and a website portal for counselors. Students have access to a daily check-in survey, mediations, affirmations, workouts, deep breathing exercises, educational videos, their university’s helpline, additional campus resources, and the ability to track their progress. UBYou’s daily check-in survey asks students quick and easy questions to further get to the root cause of a student’s issue efficiently and effectively. With the student’s consent, a counselor may access the app data to track the student’s progress and identify trends and frequencies. UBYou is exploring ways to improve the lives of veterans, athletes, employees, patients, Greek life members, high school students, and more. UBYou was started by Jack Hellmer, a student at Florida Gulf Coast University who experienced multiple hardships in a short time that led to struggles with anxiety and grief. Hellmer realized that many students like himself struggle with similar issues but often just lived with them or masked them. Through a newly discovered passion for mental health and wellness, he researched and implemented natural ways to improve his daily life. After seeing success, Hellmer began sharing this information with other students. Through research and the help of the Florida Gulf Coast University family, such as the Daveler and Kauanui School of Entrepreneurship, the Counseling and Psychological Services department, and university President Dr. Mike Martin, UBYou was born. Jack Hellmer is the founder of UBYou and is a Florida Gulf Coast University student pursuing his Master of Science in Entrepreneurship. Jack is a mental health and wellness advocate whose personal experiences and passions drive him to continue his mission of making students’ lives happier, healthier, faster.

Dr. Carol Roberts Offers Ketamine Journeys
Since ancient times, mind-opening substances have played an important role in many cultures. Amanita and psylocybe mushrooms are found in the forests of Europe. Peyote and San Pedro served the indigenous Americans, as has ayahuasca in the jungles of South America. LSD was the underground sensation in the 1960s, giving rise to the hippie movement, until the door was slammed on that option in 1970 and psychedelics were deemed too dangerous to society to allow any use at all. Now we see this as more a political move than a medical decision. Recently, these remarkable medicines have been making an amazing comeback, no small thanks to Michael Pollan’s book (and Netflix special) How to Change Your Mind. Many people are seeing this renaissance as an opportunity to heal and grow in a remarkable way. Research begun in the 50s and 60s has been augmented with many recent studies showing how these substances can untie psychological knots like anxiety, obsessive thinking, and depression; relieve PTSD, even after many years of suffering; open creative floodgates; and relieve fear of death. Carol Roberts, a holistic medical doctor for 30 years, is offering at (your) home guided journeys with ketamine, currently the only legal psychedelic in the state of Florida. Her medical expertise stands alongside her training with the shamans of Peru to serve people in this powerful way.
