Meet Diana Martin-Gotcher: Founder and Executive Director of Our Nonprofit

At the heart of our nonprofit’s mission to promote holistic healing and emotional wellness stands a remarkable leader: Diana Martin-Gotcher, our Founder and Executive Director. With over 25 years of experience in the wellness industry, Diana has dedicated her life to empowering others, guiding them toward emotional and physical well-being through a holistic approach. Her extensive education, deep-rooted passion, and unwavering commitment to serving rural communities in Northern California make her a true pioneer in the field of holistic health.

Diana holds a non-secular Ph.D. in Holistic Medicine, a testament to her comprehensive understanding of the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Her educational journey didn’t stop there; she also earned a degree in psychology and has obtained multiple certifications in nutrition, belief clearing, and wellness. As an Ordained Whole Medicine and Healing Minister, Diana’s approach to healing is rooted in compassion, spirituality, and a profound respect for the unique needs of each individual.

Her dedication to the field has earned her features in several well-respected magazines, including Mantra Wellness, Stellar Woman, and Success Women's Magazine. In these publications, Diana has shared her insights and expertise, inspiring countless readers to take control of their wellness journeys. Her influence extends beyond the written word—Diana has been a guest speaker at One Woman International, a global platform dedicated to empowering women, and has shared her wisdom on podcasts such as The Full Life Podcast and Stellar Woman Podcast. Her ability to connect with people from all walks of life and share her knowledge in an accessible way has made her a sought-after voice in the wellness community.

In 2024, Diana took a bold step to expand her impact. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by rural communities, she transformed her successful wellness business into a nonprofit organization to better serve the residents of six Northern California counties: Modoc, Shasta, Tehama, Humboldt, Lassen, and Trinity. These areas often lack access to comprehensive wellness resources, and Diana’s mission is to change that by bringing holistic healing practices directly to the people who need them most.

Under Diana’s leadership, our nonprofit has already begun making waves in the community. We are honored to have received an endorsement from Tami Trent, Mayor for The City of Fortuna, highlighting the impact of our work and the potential to uplift and support rural Northern California. Diana’s vision for the future includes creating a 40+ acre healing sanctuary in Modoc County, complete with facilities for workshops, animal-assisted therapy, nature paths, and more—an embodiment of her lifelong dream to make holistic healing accessible to all.

Diana’s journey is one of unwavering dedication, resilience, and passion for helping others heal. Her work has touched the lives of many, and her commitment to serving the wellness needs of Northern California’s rural communities is a beacon of hope for those seeking healing and connection. We are proud to have Diana Martin-Gotcher at the helm of our nonprofit, guiding us toward a future where holistic wellness is within reach for all.

Stay connected with us as we continue to grow and expand our programs under Diana’s inspiring leadership. Her vision and expertise continue to shape our mission, and we are excited to see the lasting impact we can create together.
