Ana Milo is a business strategist and commercial lending advisor known for helping founders and leadership teams align capital, operations, and growth strategy to scale sustainably. As the founder of Milo Consulting Group, she specializes in turning complex financial and operational challenges into clear, actionable strategies that drive measurable results. With a background in commercial lending, Ana brings a unique perspective to growth, helping businesses not only access capital but deploy it with intention and precision.Her approach is rooted in a deep understanding that growth is not just about revenue, but about alignment. She works with entrepreneurs and operators to identify the gaps between vision and execution, often uncovering the structural and operational issues that quietly limit scale. By bridging finance, strategy, and execution, Ana has built a reputation for delivering clarity in environments where complexity often stalls progress.Ana’s path into business was not traditional. After beginning her studies in political science, she became disillusioned with the idea that impact could only be made through institutional channels. She made the decision to leave college, driven by the belief that true influence and change are often built through economic power and ownership. That perspective continues to shape her work today, particularly in how she advises clients to think about wealth, leverage, and long-term positioning. As a single mother of two, Ana’s journey has been defined by both responsibility and resilience. Much of her early career was marked by frustration with leadership environments that sought to limit her potential rather than cultivate it. Those experiences now inform her own leadership philosophy. She is intentional about leading people based on how they need to be led, not through rigid or one-size-fits-all approaches, creating space for individuals and teams to operate at their highest level.At the center of both her personal and professional life is her faith. Finding and knowing God has played a foundational role in her development, shaping her perspective, discipline, and sense of purpose. Today, Ana brings that same clarity and conviction into her work, helping others build businesses that are not only successful, but structured to sustain growth and impact over time.

Sharetta Scott, also known as Black Butterfly Oshun, is a nurse, holistic wellness practitioner, spiritual educator, entrepreneur, and transformation coach whose work bridges healthcare education, emotional intelligence, spirituality, and personal development. With more than two decades of experience in healthcare and nursing, Sharetta became a Licensed Practical Nurse in 2006 after completing her Practical Nursing education at Medical Careers Institute. Her professional nursing experience has included pediatrics, family practice, OB/GYN, ophthalmology, psychiatry, and clinical care. She later expanded her education by earning an Associate Degree in Business Administration from Tidewater Community College, combining her healthcare experience with entrepreneurship, leadership, and business development. Over the years, Sharetta’s work evolved beyond traditional healthcare as she began studying the connection between emotional experiences, behavioral patterns, stress, spirituality, and holistic well-being. Her approach encourages people to explore the whole person—mind, body, emotions, environment, and spirit—while understanding that holistic and spiritual practices can complement, but should not replace, appropriate medical or mental health care. Through her spiritual platform, Black Butterfly Oshun, Sharetta teaches individuals how to recognize patterns that may influence their relationships, self-worth, boundaries, decision-making, personal growth, and ability to create meaningful change. Her teachings integrate inner-child reflection, emotional intelligence, the Universal Laws, ancestral awareness, spiritual hygiene, holistic wellness, astrology, natal chart education, Human Design, and personal development. Rather than teaching spirituality solely as belief, Sharetta emphasizes self-awareness, reflection, accountability, discernment, and practical application. She is the creator of 33 Energetic Blocks, a 13-session educational series exploring emotional and behavioral patterns such as fear of failure, rejection, judgment, success, change, not feeling good enough, loss of control, fear of being seen, limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, low self-worth, shame, suppressed anger, unresolved guilt, and other patterns that can keep individuals repeating familiar cycles. Her signature transformational work also includes Healing Beyond the Pattern, which helps individuals examine the deeper experiences and beliefs influencing present-day behaviors, and the Reflection, Release & Renew community, an educational space centered on awareness, emotional growth, self-discovery, and transformation. Sharetta also develops and teaches programs on topics including childhood experiences and behavioral patterns, emotional intelligence, spiritual hygiene, ancestral connection and veneration, herbs and spiritual practices, holistic wellness, natal chart awareness, Human Design, and the Universal Laws. A central theme throughout her work is helping people understand the connection between what they experienced, what they learned to believe, how they learned to survive, and how those patterns may continue showing up in adulthood. As an entrepreneur, Sharetta is also the founder of Bee’ Toxed, a holistic wellness brand focused on herbal and wellness products, and has extensive experience as a small-business owner. Her combination of nursing, business, holistic education, and spiritual practice gives her a multidisciplinary perspective on personal transformation. At the heart of Sharetta’s philosophy is a simple principle: You cannot transform a pattern you have not identified. Her work follows the pathway of Awareness → Understanding → Release → Transformation, encouraging individuals to move beyond unconscious patterns and become more intentional about who they are becoming. Through Sharetta Scott and Black Butterfly Oshun, she continues creating educational programs, communities, classes, and resources designed to help people understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create lives rooted in greater emotional awareness, spiritual alignment, and personal responsibility.

Dr. Anna M L Smith Dr. Anna has dedicated the latter part of her career to exploring the profound connection between the mind and body and its impact on overall well-being. Her journey from a challenging childhood in England to becoming an advocate for a holistic approach to health is both inspiring and transformative. Early Life and Personal Challenges Dr. Anna was born and raised in the South of England, where her early years were shaped by a family environment marked by adversity. Growing up, she faced challenges, but none as impactful as the loss of her sister to an eating disorder. This tragedy happened during Dr. Anna’s first term at St Bartholomew’s Medical School in London. The death of her sister was a pivotal moment in her life. It prompted a journey of self-discovery. She began to realize the significance of lifestyle and emotional well-being on health. Through personal growth, she found that making positive changes to her own lifestyle habits improved her mental and physical health. This experience ignited her emerging interest in understanding how lifestyle factors influence overall health. Academic and Professional Beginnings Dr. Anna’s academic journey took her to St Bartholomew’s Medical School in London, where she pursued her medical degree with dedication and commitment. After qualifying she embarked on a diverse career path, working in various hospitals in London and Surrey. Her experience provided her with a solid foundation in general medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry and paediatrics and she undertook further studies to become a General Practitioner. Her work introduced her to the complexities of patient care. She has worked as a GP for nearly 30 years. Despite her career in conventional medical practice, Dr. Anna felt a growing desire to explore alternative approaches to health. Her own experiences with lifestyle changes had made her acutely aware of the limitations of traditional Western medicine in addressing the holistic aspects of well-being. This realization led her to another decision: to diversify her career and follow her passion for holistic health. A Shift Towards Holistic Health Seven years ago, Dr. Anna started her journey of exploration which led her to discover medical acupuncture, a practice that resonated deeply with her evolving understanding of health. She pursued formal training in medical acupuncture, earning her a Certificate and Diploma from the British Medical Acupuncture Society in London. The benefits of medical acupuncture were profound and aligned with her holistic philosophy. This practice complemented her growing interest in holistic health. She sought further education to deepen her knowledge and skills. Expanding Expertise in Lifestyle Medicine Dr. Anna’s quest for a comprehensive understanding of health led her to study Lifestyle Medicine, a field that addresses the impact of daily habits and lifestyle choices on health outcomes. She completed her Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine with The British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, an accomplishment that enriched her expertise in the field. Her exploration didn’t stop there. Dr. Anna recognized the importance of behavioural change in achieving sustainable health improvements and thus pursued various coaching courses. One of the notable courses she undertook was Tiny Habits Coaching, which equips individuals with strategies to make lasting behavioural changes through small, manageable steps. Integrating Mind-Body Connection As Dr. Anna’s career evolved, she became increasingly interested in the intricate relationship between the mind and body. This interest led her to study and become a SIRPA (Stress Illness Recovery Practitioners’ Association) practitioner. The SIRPA approach focuses on how stress and emotional factors contribute to physical and mental health issues, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing these challenges. By integrating her knowledge of medical acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and mind-body connections, she developed a holistic coaching and mentoring approach to health. Her practice is designed to support individuals in achieving optimal well-being through a balanced and personalized approach. A Passionate Advocate for Holistic Health Dr. Anna’s personal experiences and professional achievements have shaped her approach to health care, emphasizing the importance of addressing the whole person rather than merely treating symptoms. She specialises in chronic pian and the ‘medically unexplained symptoms’- when a patient suffers symptoms, but all investigations are normal. Today, Dr. Anna offers a holistic coaching and mentoring service, which aims to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being. Her approach is rooted in the belief that true health encompasses not only the absence of illness but also the presence of balance and harmony in all aspects of life. In her practice, she combines her experience as a GP of 30 years alongside medical acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and a mind-body approach to offer comprehensive support to her patients. She is committed to helping individuals navigate their unique health journeys, offering personalized guidance and strategies to enhance their overall quality of life. Summary Dr. Anna’s career is an example of how personal experiences and professional expertise can intersect to create a meaningful impact on health. This holistic approach to health reflects her deep understanding of the interconnection between the mind and body, and her commitment to helping others achieve optimal well-being. As she continues to inspire and guide individuals on their health journeys, she remains a passionate advocate for holistic health, embodying the principles she believes in.

DO I QUALIFY? Dr. Anna M L Smith Holistic Mind-Body Doctor Dr. Anna M L Smith Dr. Anna has dedicated the latter part of her career to exploring the profound connection between the mind and body and its impact on overall well-being. Her journey from a challenging childhood in England to becoming an advocate for a holistic approach to health is both inspiring and transformative. Early Life and Personal Challenges Dr. Anna was born and raised in the South of England, where her early years were shaped by a family environment marked by adversity. Growing up, she faced challenges, but none as impactful as the loss of her sister to an eating disorder. This tragedy happened during Dr. Anna’s first term at St Bartholomew’s Medical School in London. The death of her sister was a pivotal moment in her life. It prompted a journey of self-discovery. She began to realize the significance of lifestyle and emotional well-being on health. Through personal growth, she found that making positive changes to her own lifestyle habits improved her mental and physical health. This experience ignited her emerging interest in understanding how lifestyle factors influence overall health. Academic and Professional Beginnings Dr. Anna’s academic journey took her to St Bartholomew’s Medical School in London, where she pursued her medical degree with dedication and commitment. After qualifying she embarked on a diverse career path, working in various hospitals in London and Surrey. Her experience provided her with a solid foundation in general medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry and paediatrics and she undertook further studies to become a General Practitioner. Her work introduced her to the complexities of patient care. She has worked as a GP for nearly 30 years.
