Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith From survival to sovereignty. From inflammation to inspiration. Flossie’s story reminds us that where you begin does not determine where you end. Born and raised in Kenya, Flossie grew up without shoes until she was 12, no modern amenities, and with limited access to education, and few visible opportunities. Yet somewhere deep inside, she carried an unshakable knowing — that her life was meant to be more. Through relentless determination, Flossie found her way to the United States and into demanding careers — from the airline industry to nursing — doing whatever it took to create financial stability and security for her family. But the cost of hustle, 5-6 night shifts each week , motherhood and supporting family eventually showed up in her body. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis, an autoimmune inflammatory condition, became a turning point — not a stopping point. Rather than surrendering to a lifetime of medications alone, Flossie redirected the same determination that fueled her success into root-cause reversal. She began exploring natural and holistic modalities alongside conventional care — learning, experimenting, listening to her body, and reclaiming her health. Along the way, she developed simple, accessible wellness practices— mindset and lifestyle change. She also founded a wellness Turmeric tea beverage with anti-inflammatory and pain reduction for her and her community. Today, Flossie empowers audiences with her message of resilience, restoration, and purpose-driven living, guiding others back to simple healthier, sustainable lifestyle shifts and a deep belief in the body’s innate capacity to reverse any unhealthy conditions. Her mission is clear: Shift Your Mindset. Transform a Healthier Lifestyle. Flossie Njama, RN, BSN, is a Critical Care Nurse with 30+ years of experience, bestselling author of Village Vibes, CEO of Simple Life Healthier You LLC, and an NLP Master Trainer. She naturally reversed her autoimmune disease and created the trademarked “Flossie’s Turmeric Tea”, now part of her wellness movement mentor program “GPS to a Healthier You”. She is a finalist of Senior MO pageant 2025 and was awarded the DAR award for community engagement. Featured several times on Fox 2 TV, OWN Your Now Show, Boss Talk LA, Dr Smiley Show and more, Flossie inspires audiences with her message of resilience, restoration, and simple steps to healthier living, and carrying her mission of purpose, giving back to the community. http://www.flossiesturmerictea.com https://www.simplelifehealthieryou.com/ What Am I – Children’s Book Author Dr. Tina Koopersmith https://tinakoopersmith.com/what-am-i-childrens-book/ ~ More About Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Koopersmith ~ Dr. Tina Koopersmith has practiced Western medicine for over 30 years. But she is so much more than a physician. An integrative medicine and fertility specialist, she is a transformational healer and coach who not only brings life to her patients but reminds them that it is their responsibility and, in their power, to bring themselves back to vibrancy and vitality. Root cause healing starts with energy, emotions, communication—between your cells and your soul. As a speaker-coach-author as well as mother, nonconformist, and recovering perfectionist, she is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness. She reminds us all that love, play, pleasure and purpose are the secret ingredients to wellness. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion; this diversity is to be praised and celebrated. When our body feels safe, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our “Wise Sage Self”. Healing, recovery and regeneration thrive only when we stop resisting what is and celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW. Health and Wellness is nourished with empathy, compassion innovation and connection—a total integration of the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic. ALL are worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.
