South Florida has never been short on ambition — but right now, something different is happening. A new generation of business owners is rising, leading with purpose, lived experience, and an unshakable commitment to impact. At BioBiz Magazine™, we make it our mission to find the leaders who are redefining what success looks like before the rest of the world catches up. This edition, we’re proud to spotlight ten of them — innovators, healers, builders, and visionaries we’re calling our Ones to Know.
Michelle Caba
PWRHAUS Golf Society | Founder & Revenue Architect
Michelle Caba’s calling didn’t arrive in a single moment — it accumulated quietly over two decades, then landed all at once on a golf course in Florida.
After years on Wall Street and a successful run as a business owner in New Jersey, Michelle made a pivotal decision: sell her nail salon in Hoboken, relocate to Florida as a single mother, and start over.
It was equal parts courage and necessity. She didn’t know many people. She needed community, connection, and opportunity. So she signed up for golf lessons — uncomfortable, intentional, and exactly right.
What she found on the range changed everything. She noticed women who felt exactly as she once had — hesitant, unsure, standing on the sidelines of spaces where relationships and influence were actively being built. Having spent years as one of the only women in high-stakes rooms, she understood the cost of that gap intimately. Talent wasn’t the problem. Access and confidence were.
That clarity became the foundation of PWRHAUS Golf Society — a professional network that uses golf as a platform to help women in business and sales expand their relationships, visibility, and revenue. But it goes deeper than the sport itself. “Golf creates depth in a world that often rewards speed,” Michelle explains. “You learn more about someone in four hours on a course than you ever could in four minutes across a conference table.”
“I want to be remembered as someone who helped women stop asking for permission because they finally understood it was theirs all along.“
Her clients are ambitious, accomplished women navigating their next level — founders, executives, entrepreneurs, and sales leaders who understand that success today requires more than expertise. It requires the right rooms. PWRHAUS gives them those rooms, and the confidence to own them.
Professionally, Michelle also serves as Director of Economic Development for the City of Deerfield Beach, bringing her two-decade background in Wall Street, behavioral psychology, and advisory work to strategies that attract investment and drive community growth. She’s a best-selling author and board member of First Tee — her commitment to expanding access to golf runs deep on every front.
Her greatest internal obstacle as an entrepreneur was learning to believe she was worthy of the vision she was building. The shift, she says, came not from waiting for confidence but from showing up consistently until the evidence built itself. It’s the same advice she now gives every woman she works with: stop waiting to feel ready. Readiness follows participation, not the other way around.
For Michelle, the legacy she’s building isn’t measured in achievements — it’s measured in permission. Permission for women to stop asking whether they belong and simply decide they do.

Dr. Sonia Edouard
Heritage Wellness | DNP, PMHNP-BC, Co-Founder & CEO
“Psychiatry gave me the language. Faith gave me the heart. And my brother gave me the why.”
For Dr. Sonia Edouard, that sentence says everything. Growing up in a Miami Haitian-American household where healthcare was part of the air — two older sisters were nurses, her parents planted the seed early — a path in medicine felt natural. But it was watching her brother struggle with his mental health after playing college football that made her direction undeniable. She pursued her master’s in psychiatric nursing in 2016 and never looked back.
Today, Dr. Edouard is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and co-founder and CEO of Heritage Wellness — a holistic, integrative mental health practice built on a belief the traditional medical system rarely makes room for: that true wellness means treating the whole person, not managing their symptoms.
Her clients are high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs who carry the weight of their success quietly. On the outside, everything looks fine. Internally, they’re navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, ADHD, and an emotional disconnection they can’t quite name. Dr. Edouard meets them there — with personalized, culturally affirming care rooted in both science and soul. “Burnout is not a badge of honor,” she says. It’s a line she means completely.
The boldest professional decision she made was stepping away from conventional psychiatric models to build something more integrative. It required trusting her clinical intuition in spaces that preferred the status quo. She held her ground, stayed rooted in a root-cause approach to mental health, and built a practice she’s genuinely proud of. Heritage Wellness now extends beyond her client work — Dr. Edouard is also affiliated with FIU, Walden, and Chamberlain University, where she mentors students and clinically precepts the next generation of mental health providers.
“Psychiatry gave me the language. Faith gave me the heart. And my brother gave me the why.“
Learning to balance deep care for others with equally deep care for herself has been her most personal challenge. She found the answer in boundaries — understanding that showing up fully for her clients required honoring her own limits first. Off the clock, she gravitates toward simplicity: faith, family, movement, and nature. Wife, mother, daughter, friend. Those relationships are her anchor.
Her must-know message to readers is one she carries into every session: reaching out for help is a strength. Wellness isn’t built in dramatic gestures — it’s built in small, consistent daily choices around sleep, nutrition, stress, and connection. Reclaiming your mind and body starts with the decision to try.
Dr. Sonia Edouard is building a future where mental wellness is proactive, accessible, and treated as the foundation it has always been.

Joselyn Rodriguez
JAE PT | Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, DPT
A woman’s body is asked to do extraordinary things — carrying her through motherhood, loss, recovery, and everything in between — and Dr. Joselyn Rodriguez has made it her life’s work to make sure no woman has to navigate that journey without truly understanding the foundation holding it all together.
With over 20 years in healthcare, Joselyn came to pelvic floor physical therapy through a combination of timing and conviction. She was recently postpartum when colleagues encouraged her to pursue the specialization. After more than a decade in orthopedics, she wasn’t certain it would stick — but she noticed something that changed everything.
Every patient she was treating, regardless of what brought them in, had a pelvic floor component. Back pain. Hip surgery. Neck tension. The pelvic floor was always part of the picture. She felt like she had unlocked a new level of clinical understanding that few around her had access to. The decision was made.
Today, Joselyn treats both women and men with a holistic, full-body and nervous system approach that addresses pelvic floor dysfunction at its root — not just its symptoms. Her clients present with everything from incontinence and pain with intercourse to postoperative recovery, endometriosis, abdominal separation, and beyond. But her deepest focus is prenatal and postpartum women — a population she believes is consistently underserved and under supported at the moments that matter most.
“As mothers, we are selfless and put our health and needs on the back burner, but unfortunately this leads to poorer outcomes.”
Her mission is to change that equation — helping women enter and move through motherhood in the strongest physical condition possible, not just for themselves, but for the families depending on them.
A Brooklyn native, published research author, and instructor at the University of Miami, Joselyn brings both academic rigor and lived experience to her work. She has personally navigated pelvic floor dysfunction and birth injury — experiences that deepened her empathy and sharpened her practice in ways no textbook could.
Her biggest professional leap was starting her own clinic. Physical therapy graduate school, she’ll tell you plainly, prepares you to work inside large institutions that treat diagnoses — not people. Owning her practice gave her the freedom to treat the whole person, head to toe, in alignment with her values and her expertise.
The legacy she’s building is ambitious and urgent: putting a measurable dent in the maternal mortality rate through birth education, increased health touchpoints, and women who finally understand their own bodies well enough to advocate for themselves in medical settings.
Her must-know tip? Kegels are not the answer to everything. There is an entire world of pelvic floor health beyond that one exercise — and she wants every woman to go learn it.

Faith Stample
Dripping Wellness | LPN, IV Infusion Nurse
There’s a quiet pattern Faith Stample noticed early in her nursing career — one that wouldn’t let her go. Working in home health and hospice, she kept arriving to the same scene: people who had waited too long, bodies worn down, families stretched thin. The treatments were there, but the prevention wasn’t. “Why are we always waiting until it gets to this point?” she found herself thinking, again and again.
That question became the foundation for everything she would build.
Today, Faith is the founder of Dripping Wellness, a South Florida–based concierge IV therapy and wellness company that operates on one core belief: wellness is a foundation, not a luxury.
Drawing on years of clinical experience across home health, hospice, and infusion nursing, she’s created a space where hydration, advanced lab testing, and personalized nutrient therapy aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the starting point.
“I don’t see obstacles as barriers; I see them as refinement.“
Her client base reflects the full spectrum of people who demand a lot from their bodies. Athletes chasing peak performance and faster recovery. CEOs and corporate teams managing burnout. Surgical patients preparing for procedures with intention rather than anxiety — the latter served through her specialized program, Dollhouse HQ, which guides women through surgery prep and recovery with education and elevated care. What started as a single client referral grew into one of the most meaningful chapters of her career, revealing gaps in surgical patient support that Faith was uniquely positioned to fill.
Her joy lives in the shift — the moment someone who walked in depleted walks out lighter. “It’s about creating a space where someone feels seen, supported, and prioritized,” she says. “In a world where people are constantly pouring into everyone else, I get to be part of the moment where they finally pour back into themselves.” It’s an experience she doesn’t take lightly, and one she’s had to lean into personally.
In the middle of scaling her business, Faith received a breast cancer diagnosis — a moment that tested every principle she teaches. She leaned on meditation, spirituality, intentional healing, and the community she’d spent years building. Rather than a detour, she describes it as refinement. She came through it more grounded, more compassionate, and more certain of her purpose.
That community-first mindset has also shaped her business strategy. Faith credits intentional networking — truly showing up, building relationships, and investing in rooms where growth happens — as one of the best decisions she’s made as an entrepreneur. “Your network is your net worth,” she says simply.
For readers looking for a starting point, her advice is direct: most people are chronically dehydrated and don’t realize how deeply it’s affecting their energy, focus, mood, and recovery. Hydration, she emphasizes, isn’t just about water — it’s about balance, electrolytes, and actually nourishing your cells.
Faith Stample isn’t just changing how people feel. She’s changing how they think about what they deserve.

Sandy Fernandez
Karmic Currency™ | SVP & Head of Retail and Business Banking
Sandy Fernandez wanted to be Jacques Cousteau. She was drawn to the ocean, to depth, to hidden things beneath the surface. Banking was never part of the plan — until a part-time teller job at 19 quietly became a calling she didn’t see coming.
What captivated her wasn’t the transactions. It was the human behavior woven through every one of them. She watched how people saved, spent, panicked, and prospered. Money, she realized, told a story. And for nearly three decades inside regulated financial institutions, Sandy learned to read that story better than most.
But the real turning point came personally. After her divorce, she found herself rebuilding from the inside out — navigating debt, lawsuits, and the emotional weight of starting over, while simultaneously discovering yoga and energy work. That’s when two worlds she had kept separate began to merge. The patterns she observed in chakra energy mirrored the financial blocks she’d seen in clients for years. Money wasn’t just math. It was emotional, psychological, and deeply energetic.
Sitting in her office reviewing loan files one day, it landed: she wasn’t meant to leave banking. She was meant to translate it. That realization became Karmic Currency™ — a national financial education platform built to help women become bankable, fundable, and financially confident.
“The greatest challenge was learning that I didn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.“
Today, Sandy serves high-achieving women across the country — executives, entrepreneurs, and six-figure earners who are quietly overwhelmed by their own finances despite every outward marker of success. She knows this woman intimately because she has been her. “The greatest challenge was learning that I didn’t have to be perfect to be powerful,” she says. That hard-won truth runs through everything she teaches.
Her expertise spans both worlds without apology. As Senior Vice President and Head of Retail and Business Banking at a Florida-based community bank, she brings nearly 30 years of institutional knowledge to lending strategy, credit evaluation, and financial structuring. As a published author and speaker, she translates that knowledge into language women can actually use — stripping away the shame, the fog, and the fear that quietly follow even the most accomplished women into their financial lives.
Her advice cuts straight to the point: you cannot out-earn a broken financial structure. Understanding how your credit is evaluated, how lenders view your cash flow, and where your money actually goes each month matters more than income alone. Clarity, she says, changes everything.
Sandy Fernandez is building a legacy where money feels less like pressure and more like power — and she’s doing it one woman at a time.

Eory Madera Miranda
Truffle Temptations | Founder & President
It started with a honeymoon and an aroma she couldn’t forget.
Walking through small Italian towns on her trip, Eory Madera Miranda found herself surrounded by truffle shops on every corner — the elegance, the simplicity, the scent of something ancient and extraordinary. For most people it would have been a beautiful memory. For Eory, a Puerto Rican-born entrepreneur with a background in pharmaceutical science and over 15 years in medical and biotech leadership, it became a blueprint.
That spark became Truffle Temptations — a Miami-based luxury truffle brand sourcing premium products directly from Italy and bringing authentic, high-quality truffle experiences to the U.S. market.
What makes Truffle Temptations stand apart isn’t just the product — it’s the standard Eory set from day one. She made a deliberate decision to source exclusively from reputable Italian producers and never compromise on authenticity. In a market crowded with gourmet labels and diluted products, that commitment to quality became the brand’s foundation and its sharpest differentiator. “Excellence became our foundation — not an upgrade,” she says simply.
Her science background isn’t incidental to the work — it informs it. Eory approaches truffles the way she once approached biotech: with curiosity, rigor, and a deep respect for complexity. She educates her clients on the health properties, cultural significance, and culinary depth behind what they’re experiencing. Whether it’s a home cook discovering real truffle for the first time at a farmers market, a chef sourcing premium ingredients, or a corporate buyer looking for a gift that actually means something, Eory is in the business of turning ordinary moments into something worth remembering.
“Momentum comes from consistency, not motivation.“
Her entrepreneurial journey hasn’t been without friction. Building a luxury food brand from scratch — navigating import logistics, retail operations, and competitive brand positioning — demanded financial discipline, resilience, and a willingness to make bold calls without a safety net. She leaned on clarity of vision, structured planning, daily movement, and faith to keep moving forward. Momentum, she’ll tell you, comes from consistency — not motivation.
Off the clock, Eory is a planner, a dreamer, and a wellness enthusiast who is always thinking about the next level. Vision boards, strategy sessions, quiet reflection — she approaches her personal life with the same intentionality she brings to her brand.
Her advice translates seamlessly across industries: shortcuts always cost more than they save. Build with intention, protect your standards, and take the time to educate your audience. When people truly understand value, they stop chasing price and choose excellence instead.

Luz Martinez
Luz Martinez Counseling | Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Luz Martinez has spent twenty years helping people understand something most of us take decades to grasp: the thoughts running quietly in the background are often the ones running the show. It’s a truth she first stumbled onto in a college psychology course, and one she’s built an entire practice around ever since.
It was the concept of cognitive distortions — the idea that our thoughts shape our reality — that stopped her mid-path toward a communications degree. She didn’t just want to craft messages anymore. She wanted to help people understand themselves. She changed her major and never looked back.
Today, Luz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional with a private practice built around one core conviction: mental health isn’t separate from success. It drives it.
She works primarily with adults who look polished on the outside and feel quietly unraveling on the inside — high-achievers navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, perfectionism, and the slow-surfacing effects of childhood emotional neglect. Many of her clients are entrepreneurs and women in leadership who’ve never connected the dots between early wounds and the cycles showing up in their work, relationships, and self-worth. Luz walks alongside them as they do. “Watching someone move from self-doubt and burnout into clarity and confidence is incredibly meaningful,” she says. “Being trusted with someone’s story and seeing them step into their strength is both an honor and a privilege.”
“Mental health isn’t separate from success — it drives it.“
What keeps her rooted in this work is the scale of the impact. When one person begins to heal generational patterns, it doesn’t just change them — it shifts their entire family system. That kind of ripple is what she’s in it for.
Expanding beyond the therapy room into workshops and speaking engagements was the best business decision she’s made — and one of the most stretching. As someone trained clinically, not as a marketer or brand builder, stepping into public visibility required her to do exactly the work she guides her clients through: reframing limiting beliefs, tolerating uncertainty, and pushing past perfectionism. The irony wasn’t lost on her. It deepened her.
Her approach to staying grounded is practical and embodied. When tension starts to build in her body, she treats it as data — a signal to slow down, breathe, and check in before moving forward. Structure supports her, but presence is non-negotiable.
Her advice to entrepreneurs is direct and disarming: stop asking what’s wrong with you and start asking what pattern needs to change. Burnout and self-doubt aren’t character flaws. They’re signals. And the way you manage your mind, she believes, determines exactly how far you’ll go.
Luz Martinez is building a legacy not of symptom relief, but of system change — one breakthrough at a time.

Patricia Chin
The Healthy Home | Home Wellness Consultant
The place most people associate with safety and comfort may actually be the greatest source of invisible harm in their lives — and Patricia Chin has made it her mission to change that, one home at a time.
Pat’s path to home wellness consulting didn’t begin with a business plan. It began in 2017 with a simple switch: Norwex cleaning products and an alkaline water system for her family.
What started as a personal health decision slowly expanded as she educated herself on the science behind environmental wellness and realized the impact these changes were having. By 2019, sitting in a Women’s Prosperity Network mastermind surrounded by fellow entrepreneurs, the vision crystallized. She drafted the business plan that same day. The Healthy Home was born.
Today, Pat works with health-conscious families, expectant parents, and individuals navigating chronic health challenges — helping them audit the invisible factors in their living spaces that quietly affect their wellbeing. Indoor air quality, chemical exposure, sleep environment, hydration — she covers the full spectrum of environmental wellness, bridging science-backed products with practical, livable solutions. Her approach is grounded in education, never fear. Getting families to understand that their home can be a source of healing rather than harm requires a steady, informed hand, and that’s exactly what she brings.
“The home is the first line of defense for our health.”
Her greatest business challenge was the awareness gap she faced early on — helping people recognize that indoor pollution is real, measurable, and addressable without overwhelming them with alarm. She learned to lead with curiosity and evidence, building trust through expertise rather than urgency. The decision to specialize deeply in the healthy home niche, rather than spread across general wellness services, was the turning point that gave her brand its authority and staying power.
Pat is also the founder of AWA Drinks Company, a boba tea catering and pop-up venture that reflects the same philosophy — quality ingredients, intentional living, community connection. Her days are full, but her mornings are intentional. She starts with mapping priorities the night before, a long walk alongside her goldendoodles Vinnie and Lucia in the morning, and then begins the day with clarity over chaos.
At home, she tends a Tower Garden — hydroponic vegetables growing right in her living space, a literal expression of the philosophy she teaches. It’s the kind of detail that says everything about who Patricia Chin is: someone who doesn’t just advocate for healthy living, she builds it into every corner of her life.
Her advice is refreshingly simple: open your windows. Indoor air is often far more polluted than outdoor air, and ten minutes of daily cross-ventilation can meaningfully reduce your home’s toxic load. Free, effective, and available to everyone — starting right now.
