Pooja Desai

About Me

Welcome to my website.

I am a mission driven, initiative-taking, results oriented legendary leader with 27 years of progressive experience in healthcare. I am a Mom, Wife, Author, Podcaster, Multiple Minority Woman Business Owner, and philanthropist.


My wellness journey sprouted from childhood with my desire to become calm in a chaotic world. In return, it taught me how to be resilient. 

When not working, I spend my time with the best part of me, my family. I believe in empowering others no matter what their journey is, while expressing gratitude for anyone who has been a part of mine.
