WHAT IS HEART AMBASSADORS?

We are an organization of change-makers, social activists, artists, scientists, health-care professionals, leaders, visionaries and peace-makers . . . dedicated to a world that works better for all - including you!

There's a shift happening . . . beginning in the human heart.

You know if yours is one of them.

It’s a shift toward caring for ourselves in a way that fuels our hearts, minds and bodies, facilitating our care for one another.

It is a shift toward caring more about supporting each other than getting ahead of one another.

It is a shift toward caring more about taking care of the planet than taking advantage of its resources.

This inner shift operates almost like a key code to a secret passageway, which leads to a new world- a world that works better for all. Including us.

It does serve self, but from a new definition of “Self” that includes our connection to the whole.

Regina Shuvanova

The universe that we all call home is made up of amazing energy accessible to all of those who are willing to see it and embrace it. This energy can make any dream a reality. It has been my life journey and passion to help those who are distracted and unable to see clearly, find their path. This energy is everywhere and present in everything we do, from basic daily short term activities, to long term complex life discoveries. I was born in Tashkent Uzbekistan, a product of 2 Russian parents. I am bilingual in Russian and English. Having moved from Uzbekistan to Russia, and then to the United States, I have always wanted to bring people of the world together, to learn from each other, to grow, and to harness that energy. I received a Masters degree in Diplomacy & International Relations from Seton Hall University. I worked on developing international business relationships and cooperation through my role with the Mid-Atlantic Eurasia Business Council (MAEBC/MARBC) in Philadelphia, PA. With my career moving forward, a wonderful gift was given to me midstream. I became a mom. Life moves in mysterious ways and has its own path at times, yet, this energy I speak of is found in all things, at times, where you least expect it. I relocated from the West Coast and now live in San Diego California. I am currently in a leadership role with Caesars Entertainment, live with a loving husband, and a beautiful son. Without a doubt, being a mom has taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and has helped me in my own journey to find that energy.

SANDRA

Chief Medical Officer, Treasurer

Sandra Solano

M.D., M.S. 

Sandra is a healthcare professional with more than 20 years of experience as a Healthcare Executive and consultant and now has her own Holistic Wellness practice in New Albany, Ohio. Dr. Solano successfully implemented large scale transformational projects in the private and public sector and was recognized as a successful disruptor and change agent. Through her career, Dr. Solano experienced personally and professionally the detrimental impact that stress and lack of emotional regulation has in productivity, communication and efficacy in the work place and family life. Through her practice, she works with individuals, teams, groups and organizations to bring evidence-based tools and skills that empower the individual to develop emotional fitness and stress management. 

While she enjoyed a successful and fulfilling career in public health, Dr. Solano felt disconnected and unfulfilled. She continued studying alternative health modalities and how they could improve wellness. After extensive research and training, Sandra chose a combination of methods that facilitate the regulation of emotions and management of stress as the foundation of her holistic wellness practice. Dr. Solano is a certified trainer of HeartMath’s Resilience Advantage™ program; certified practitioner Shuniya Tibetan Bowl Sound Healing©; a Reiki Master; and a practitioner of Holographic Memory Resolution©.

After personally experiencing and practicing these tools, Dr. Solano feels connected with her authentic self and feels a sense of hope and peace that she wants to share with others. Learning about and experiencing these techniques brought her a new understanding of health as a state of balance and wholeness. Her concept of health sees every person as a fundamentally perfect being. Her passion is to help others to find that connection, authenticity, peace, and hope that she is now able to experience

The Fyera Foundation is committed to the development of our leaders.

To increase our effectiveness at the local level, we sponsored our Chief Medical Officer, Sandra Solano, M.D., M.S., to attend the New Albany Leadership program. Sandra summarized her experience and the lessons learned for our community.

There are more displaced people in the world today than there have ever been in human history, due to climate change, violent conflict, and oppression. The average person who flees their country will spend 18 years in a refugee camp before being welcomed to a new home. Now more than ever it is important that we come together as a human family and global citizenship, living into the motto that home is where the heart is and the earth is our shared home.

SPONSOR A CHILD PROGRAM

Thank you from the depth of our hearts for your interest in sponsoring a Sunflower Kid in our Sunflower SunPower Kids Program in Nicaragua. Your interest in their lives means more for their future than you could possibly imagine. Your willingness to jump in is a huge boon to their self esteem, courage to move forward, and self respect. It helps us help them remain committed to their education and a better future, and to avoid the many potholes at-risk and impoverished youth can fall into. Your human heart to heart connection with the children is as important, if not moreso, than the $50 per month donation which gives them access to clothes, medical care, needed nutrition, and schooling.

PHOENIX

Youth Board Member

Phoenix Gauthier

I was blessed to have been brought up in an extremely non-conventional way, traveling around the world with a circus until the age of 8. Most of my life I have been homeschooled, following a Waldorf education curriculum that has nurtured my creativity and helped to inspire my love for music and the arts. Traveling to many countries has not only given me a perspective on how society functions in different cultures, but has also opened my eyes to the suffering and injustice that goes on outside of our daily lives. When I am asked what my goal in life is, I’m usually drawn to responding with, “I want to help people. I want to learn how to be of service to the world.” The Fyera Foundation offered me the amazing opportunity to attend the 2023 C20 summits that took place in India, where I was able to observe and learn from how our pressing global issues are being dealt with, while continuing to share the principles of HeartMath. This was just one small step of many more to come toward realizing my goal. I represent the younger generation, and I hope to awaken in them a desire to work together to bring about a better future.

PRECIOUS

Regional Director
Zimbabwe

Precious Nyadogo

I am a 35 year old mother of 5 girls who grew up in Magwegwe old Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. l was raised by my grandmother and did my primary education at Magwegwe Primary School from the year 1992 to 1998.

My goal in life is to leave my footprints on the sands of time by joining hands with like-minded people in making a difference in this world through helping the needy and vulnerable. I grew up in a very poor neighborhood with 3 of us in a 2-room house, my grandma, my young brother and me. Every year during the month of December our 2-roomed house would accommodate more than 10 people. It is at that younger age that my grandmother’s generosity rubbed off on me and l learned to share the little l had with the person next to me. I grew up knowing that sharing is caring. l hope to pass this on to my 5 girls.

A few years ago l started Sister to Sister Association. We started off with empowering fellow women in my community through having community gardens where they grow vegetables and sell them so that they get money to take care of their children. With help of The Fyera Foundation we also had a bore hole drilled in my village and another one in a nearby village, providing clean reliable water to minimize the distance girls had to walk to get water for their families and to provide water for the vegetables we grow.

It is my dream to eradicate poverty in my community and in our third world countries and also end world hunger.

Lisa Marie Gorman 

R.N., M.S.

Lisa Marie is a healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience, in a wide range of roles from critical care nurse to corporate wellness director. Throughout her extensive career, she witnessed firsthand the profound impact of stress on herself and her colleagues. Despite learning and teaching various healing modalities such as yoga and mindfulness, she found that managing the deeply ingrained stress response in her nervous system remained a challenge. Her life took a transformative turn upon discovering HeartMath – the catalyst that facilitated her personal healing from stress and trauma.

HeartMath® and the power of heart coherence provide the foundation of her coaching and consulting practice with individuals, organizations and animals. Lisa Marie’s unique approach is a synthesis of her rich background in nursing, functional, integrative, and lifestyle medicine, nutrition, yoga, meditation, energy healing, polarity principles, spirituality, and intuition. In addition, she facilitates animal healing and the human-animal bond as an animal communicator and animal reiki practitioner.

Lisa Marie holds a Master’s Degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition, and is a HeartMath Certified Master Trainer, HeartMath Trauma Sensitive Certified Practitioner, Animal Reiki Practitioner, Animal Communicator, yoga, and meditation teacher.

It is a life dream of hers to serve on a nonprofit board of directors. She deeply humbled and grateful to be a part of the heart of The Fyera Foundation!

Technology, security and transparency

working group

This Working Group recognized the significant impact of technology on global progress and prosperity. The group focused on ensuring that innovative technologies are accessible and affordable for social impact while considering the value Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) bring in fostering consistency, accountability, and scalability in technology development and diffusion. Emphasizing equity and inclusivity, the insights from CSOs guided the creation of technologies that enable automated decision-making and knowledge aggregation for societal development.

Additionally, the group explored security concerns, particularly for vulnerable communities such as children, women, and the disabled. Responsible internet and media use was promoted to ensure harmony and security, both at the individual and community levels.

Transparency is a fundamental pillar for achieving neutrality and accountability. The working group aimed to address mistrust and misinformation, which can lead to institutional failures, by advocating for transparency through various platforms. They engaged in comprehensive assessments and the implementation of regulatory measures to enhance transparency in different sectors.

The emphasis and approach laid down towards addressing the issues within this Working Group are expected to further the civil society narrative to long-term holistic solutions for building societies that are technology-empowered, secure, and held accountable by their transparency to their citizens.

Integrated holistic health

working group

Global Health has been an essential working group in past C20 summits, reflecting the healthcare issues of the day. Nothing highlighted inequities, inequalities, and the limitations of our existing healthcare systems around the globe as starkly as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The C20 Integrated Holistic Health working group was comprised of seven subgroups with areas of focus that include mental health, nutrition, women’s and children’s health, elderly care, holistic health approaches, One Health, and the reduction of noncommunicable diseases. Efforts to address these concerns took a holistic approach that addressed the physical, emotional, environmental, and social components to health. Delving into these areas of focus, the working group aimed to widen the discussions on different facets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being.

Example of Fyera's contribution to the g20 Leaders' Declaration pertaining to this working group:

Strengthening Global Health and Implementing One Health Approach

  • Recognize the potential role of evidence-based Traditional and Complementary Medicine in health, and take note of international efforts in this direction, including WHO’s global and collaborating centres, and clinical trial registries.

  • Promote and improve access to mental health services and psychosocial support in an inclusive manner.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted SDG4 (Quality Education) but accelerated online educational technologies.

The Working Group aims for affordable, effective education reaching marginalized communities. It explores global heritage, diversity, and indigenous philosophies, promoting compassion in education. Equitable and accessible skill development and education models are suggested, considering digitalization's impact. Inclusive digital transformation can combat poverty and address diverse needs.
