Our Story & Mission

After 40 years of nursing across the full spectrum of care—from Newborn Nursery to Hospice—Yvonne Miller-Secreto, RN, recognized a recurring truth: many families experience critical gaps in support during life’s most vulnerable moments. This insight sparked her mission to bring compassionate, holistic wellness into people’s lives directly.

The Wellness Galaxy was born from this vision—a collective of medical and holistic professionals who believe healing should be accessible, personal, and empowering. Our goal is to help cultivate “a healer in every home.” Through mobile health fairs, affiliate clinics, workshops, online courses, and books, we teach individuals how to integrate holistic tools confidently into daily life.

 

We empower people to participate in their healing by demystifying health and offering practical, soul-centered support. With the right tools and guidance, everyday environments can become healing spaces, reducing stress and fostering peace at home.

Our work supports all stages of life—from childhood and adulthood to elder care and end-of-life. Whether you’re caring for yourself or a loved one, we help transform difficult transitions into moments of clarity and connection.

One of our core offerings is the Spectrum Wellness Doula program, where trained non-medical professionals provide emotional, cultural, and spiritual support during significant life events. These doulas bridge the gap between clinical care and personal healing.

We’re also committed to community-centered wellness. From childbirth to eldercare, no one should face these moments alone. Our approach ensures individuals and families feel supported, informed, and connected.

At The Wellness Galaxy, we honor the past, embrace innovation, and remain dedicated to guiding others on their healing journey—because true wellness begins at home.
