About the founder

Dr. Elaine Barretto has experienced the gaps in healthcare — first as a patient, then as a practitioner — and built Healthcare Craft to close them.
She works at the intersection of psychology, lifestyle medicine, and digital health to improve how care is delivered and experienced.
