Hey, there!

Dr. Lynette Santos Malik here – Owner & Founder of this total baddie woman-owned business, Golden Love Collective.

As a mother, wife, medical doctor, and small business owner, there's so much more to who I am than the roles I fill – and there's so much more to you, too!

Society tries to put us in little boxes, but guess what? We don't have to stay there! Let's break free from the constraints of survival mode & start living the fulfilling, vibrant lives we truly deserve.

As your go-to somatic expert, I'm here to help professional women like you invite more joy and aliveness into everyday life. Because I know firsthand how easy it is to get lost in a whirlwind of responsibilities and expectations.

Growing up in a family affected by functional alcoholism, I learned to continue pushing through no matter what I was feeling — like when I finished my undergrad in just two years before diving into medical school or surviving on superficial rest instead of really nourishing what my body needed.

The daughter of strict, well-meaning parents, I grew up thinking I only had one choice: get good grades in school, get a good job, and build a stable life that didn't upset anybody.

And while this laser focus on outer success led me to a high-paying career in my 20s (super thankful) it didn't leave me with any sense of who I was or what brought me joy.

If you'd met me back then, everything would have seemed great – what an easy-to-get-along-with and acceptable young med student I was! How capable I was at overworking, not sleeping, and living off candy bars! Like in many high-stress, high-performance environments, survival habits were normalized and encouraged. Whatever it took to succeed at your goals, you'd sacrifice.

But despite my ability to excel as a medical student on the outside, on the inside, I was battling self-criticism and a severe tendency to please everyone but myself.

Sound familiar?

I often found myself overwhelmed & at the end of my patience rope, numbing the stress with food and drink, struggling to truly connect with my feelings or the people around me.

I felt so uncomfortable in my body that I had trouble sitting still. Hello, my nervous system was completely fried!

Then, one day, my inner voice whispered something radical: take a leap!

And I actually did it! Leaving the traditional path, I leaped into a gap year filled with travel & exploration. Immersed in the healing embrace of Mother Nature, I discovered a world of rich experiences that sparked joy and creativity in me. I felt a peace within myself I'd never even imagined was possible.

After that experience, returning to "reality" faded those blissful feelings, and I had some tough decisions to make. On the one hand, I deeply wanted to help people as a doctor, but on the other, I didn't want to go back to the mundane. How could I maintain the joy and aliveness I'd experienced every single day?

Little by little, I learned how to recreate those moments of bliss in my everyday life. Since then, I've spent over a decade honing classic techniques & developing new ones to help women identify and let go of ingrained stress patterns. And now, I'm sharing those tools with you!

Through mind-body somatics, subconscious awakening, gentle hypnosis, and integrative therapies, Golden Love Collective creates welcoming spaces for women to heal & prevent stress.

Now, it's your turn to step into your power and liberate yourself from stress. Learn go-to strategies for destressing so you can live as the total power goddess you were born to be – defining success with joy, balance, and easy self-care.
