About the Owner

Matthew Moreno is an experienced healthcare professional who has a passion for holistic health and wellness. After almost a decade of facilitating patient recovery, he began to notice some concerning trends. The traditional healthcare model would frequently fail to leave patients feeling fully heard and understood by their providers. As a result of this, patients were less likely to adhere to medical recommendations, self-management education, and preventive health advice. 

Matthew's commitment to finding the most effective healing solutions motivated a journey of self-discovery and continued learning. He decided to completely immerse himself in holistic approaches such as meditation, breathwork, yoga, and ancient energy healing practices, with the goal of bridging the gap between Eastern and Western medicine. 

Experiencing the transformative benefits for himself, Matthew began to advocate for a more "total wellness" approach to care, considering more than just physical symptoms when assessing health needs. In addition, he sought to find a way for patients to build a better relationship with their providers, promoting core communication skills such motivational interviewing, reflective listening, empathetic patient-centered care. 

His passion for simplifying the healing journey for all members of society is the reason Connect Health and Wellness was created.
