Welcome,
Meet Your Wellness Coach
Totally Empowered Health + Wellness provides care and support to cancer survivors-in order to ease their transition from patient to person. Surviving cancer is just the beginning. There is a full, vibrant, active and healthy life ahead!
Rather than returning to “normal” which is the goal for many survivors, Dr. Hellena helps survivors maximize their health, raise the bar for baseline, and redefine priorities in order to live a vigorous and purposeful life. If you find yourself trying to remember what life felt like before cancer and craving that feeling of normalcy, I’m happy to share that we can rediscover and redefine “normal” as cancer survivors to live healthy, happy, and full lives and empower you to create a lifestyle that supports the vibrant life you deserve to live!

Training
After earning her degree from the University of Delaware, Dr. Hellena achieved her MD at Howard University College of Medicine in 1992. She kicked off her career with an internship at Duke University-FAHEC in North Carolina. From there, she honed her skills at the renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital & Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, completing a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Breaking new ground, Dr. Hellena became the first rehabilitation medicine physician to pursue a fellowship in Gerontology/Geriatrics at the University of Maryland Medical School. After determining that the traditional medical model was not sufficiently addressing the issues causing post-treatment fatigue and many other chronic illnesses, she studied and became boarded certified in Lifestyle Medicine and earned the Certificate of Completion in Culinary Coaching from the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital through Harvard Medical School.
