On Air With Kate Butler

Isah Velita is a North American bestselling author whose heartwarming children’s book, The Joy of Being Me, captured readers across the United States and Canada.  Beyond her literary achievements, she is a passionate advocate for healthcare reform, focusing on organizational systems and addressing broader U.S. healthcare challenges. Her work is driven by a personal health journey that revealed critical flaws in traditional medical approaches, leading her to embrace holistic and functional medicine alternatives.

Isah has raised awareness of systemic issues such as the prevalence of chronic illness, the mental health crisis among healthcare professionals, and the often-prohibitive costs of alternative treatments. Through successful grassroots advocacy, she has influenced policy changes and is considering establishing a nonprofit organization to support healthcare reform efforts.

A keynote speaker at the 2025 SuccessLIVE! event in Los Angeles, CA, Isah joined a distinguished roster of global experts including legendary author Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the Success Principles.  

Driven by a vision to make a lasting global impact, her advocacy is fueled by the belief that healthcare should be innovative, equitable, and accessible.  Whether inspiring young minds through her published work or sparking critical conversations about outdated models of care, Isah blends creativity with compassion, making her a powerful voice for change.
