About Avida Luna

Dear Clients,

Hi. I'm Shamarith "Shary" Gonzalez, RN, BSN, a bilingual (English & Spanish) nurse with 17+ years of nursing experience and 25 years in the healthcare field, and the founder of Avida Luna Wellness.

Throughout my career, I've worked across mental health, women's health, maternal health, surgery, and neurology, giving me a deep understanding of the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. My heart has always been in helping others feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether it's intentional listening, offering thoughtful guidance, connecting people to resources, or advocating for those who need a voice, caring is not just my career - it's who I am at my core.

Outside of work, I'm a mom of two, and I love spending time at the beach, being outdoors, enjoying brunch, and surrounding myself with family and friends - the moments that restore and refuel me.

Avida Luna Wellness was born from my own journey of healing and reclaiming myself. As a busy mom, I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to put everyone else first, and to neglect your own needs. Learning to shift my mindset and prioritize my well-being opened the door to entrepreneurship - especially after leaving the corporate world and navigating the challenges of finding stability beyond it.

Today, I'm here with open arms, ready to learn, grow, and serve my community.

"My mission is to educate, empower, and bring preventative, restorative wellness directly to you - creating a nurturing, healing experience that supports you from the inside out. Welcome to my journey, and thank you for being part of it.
