We had the good fortune of connecting with Ketrina Lewis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ketrina, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
I would have to say persistence and passion have been the foundation to my success. When you are passionate about something, it doesn’t feel like a job it feels like I’m walking in my purpose. I love helping people. It is something that comes natural to me and I really and truly enjoy it.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Modern Health & Wellness (MHW) was a small idea when I was in the military I saw a Mobile clinic that was doing mammograms. I felt so drawn to that idea. 3 years later, here I am living out a dream. One thing that sets me apart is my mobile clinic which can reach underserved populations. I’m most excited about seeing my vision come to life and grow. I am a huge believer that the energy and people you surround yourself around has a huge impact on your path. One challenge for me was transitioning from an employee to a CEO. My natural instinct has always been to take care of people. I had to learn to balance that part with being stern. My husband always tells me when you’re paying you’re right. There are times it is more important to be assertive than to be polite. Honesty and directness may come off to some as harsh but necessary to get to the end game. A Boss has to have a good balance and be very comfortable with not being the cool kid. It definitely wasn’t easy it was times I had doubts but I refused to give up (see the common theme here is “Persistence”). I want the world to see MHW and think “Innovative Compassion”. “Innovative Compassion” is my vision. I am a lifelong student, always expanding my knowledge to offer my patients traditional and non traditional treatment and services.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite thing to do is be with my family. I have traveled for most of my life in the Air Force so I am loving just getting together with my sister, brother, cousins politicking, lol. I love our deep conversations just getting to know my family better. I love being by the water so any place with Brunch and Mimosas is my top choice. I love to dance, so “The Pink Lounge” is a cool spot to let your hair down. I love having get togethers at my home. Karaoke is always at the top of my list. Wherever there is good food, friends, family and drinks… I am happy in that environment.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My grandmother has been my hero from as far back as I can remember. She raised me and I owe her so much. She instilled empathy, fairness and love in me. She was self employed as a house keeper. She was a hard worker and always took pride in her work . Everything she did was without complaint; which is a trait I aspire to attain everyday. She was not rich in money, but she was rich in love and her heart. I miss her so much and I always think about how proud she would be if she was here.
