Hili Ben-David, MD
Functional Medicine Physician
My practice, HYGIEIA offers patients a peaceful, comfortable, educational environment as they embark on their journey towards optimal health.
I use Functional Medicine to zero in on the underlying pathologies contributing to any illness. This is achieved through cutting edge lab testing and tailored interventions that best fit patients needs and goals. Furthermore, a comprehensive program of nutritional, dietary and lifestyle changes based on test results will be recommended.
I moved to Costa Rica in 2008 after completing my B.S. degree in Molecular Biology and Psychology at NSU. In 2015 I Graduated from UCIMED Medical School. Upon graduating I was in search of something beyond the allopathic roadmap I was taught. Through my own personal experiences I knew that nutrition, lifestyle and our mental-emotional state all play fundamental roles in our health. I'm passionate about Functional Medicine and committed to a movement in medicine that creates health and wellness by getting to the root of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. At HYGIEIA patients are empowered to make choices that help them live balanced, productive and joyful lives.
Tali Connell
Integrative Systemic Coach (ISC)
It is my mission and lifelong practice to embrace life from a place of curiosity and gentleness. I grew up in three continents, and navigated lots of changes as a kid, a teenager and then as an adult. Drastic change continuously taught me that the mind in these times can be our best ally or a terrifying villain. I have seen how different people around the world manage these stressors. Disturbances and change are very much a part of our human experience, but how we manage these moments is what I am most amazed by and am committed to sharing with you on your journey into balance and well being.
This dynamic experiential approach I implement will reveal to you just how much power and information is stored within you as an individual who belongs to larger systems - especially the blueprint inherited from your family. The awareness that emerges from this work is so profound that it has the power to move you in to unexplored territory and uncover new possibilities.
My sessions are customized based on your goals, questions and purpose. I studied at The Systemic Constellations Institute of Miami and hold a Master’s Degree in Cultural Anthropology from Florida International University. I am also a certified mediator.
