President
Falguni Dave - Herb N Joy
With a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology and Chemistry from India, I always had a passion to help and work with people. I have realized my aspirations as a healthcare practitioner since 1990. With a focus on chronic pain management and geriatric care, I have witnessed the devastating effects of long term opioid use. I have also witnessed the positive outcomes in patients that are treated with a holistic approach that integrates alternative medicine in the treatment plan.
While I was taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke, I was introduced to cannabis as an alternative approach to relieving her symptoms of pain, loss of appetite and anxiety. When we saw significant improvements in her condition, I became interested in learning more and quickly realized how little we know about the benefits of cannabis due to the stigmas attached.HerbnJoy’s Community Outreach Program has been a project that I have initiated with the goal to further education about cannabis and its benefits when used properly.
I have lived in the Bay Area since 1986. I love traveling with my husband, playing with my granddaughters and watching movies with my mom!

Director of Operations
I have been dedicated to the health and wellness field since 2007, working with Back On Track Physical Therapy for the past 16 years. My passion lies in helping people, especially those managing chronic pain, to improve their quality of life. With a background in nursing and extensive experience in the medical field, I value the unique support that the Walnut Creek Wellness Alliance provides. Being part of the Walnut Creek Wellness Alliance allows me to connect with professionals who are equally passionate and committed to giving back. It also provides opportunities to learn about diverse practices and expertise in holistic health.
Director of Programs
Senya Borrelli - LifeVantage
My passion for natural wellness options and helping people to live with vitality led me to Falguni Dave, who shared her vision for a Wellness Alliance. I immediately joined her mission to collaborate. Together we are stronger and our alliance offers opportunities to reach people where they are and offer support and guidance in their wellness journeys. My goal is to make a positive impact by serving in my community and aligning with other wellness providers who want to do the same.
Community Outreach
Monica Hahn - Elements Massage
I spent almost 30 years in the corporate world, inspiring teams and world-class brands at a senior level. When I decided to break out and run my own business, it was important to me to do something that made a positive difference in people's lives. I chose Elements Massage because it was focused on providing therapeutic massage customized to meet each client’s unique needs. When Falguni first shared her idea of a Wellness Alliance, I was thrilled to collaborate with others equally passionate about promoting wellness in our community.
