Introducing Leticia Bravo MSN, APRN, FNP-C: Palm Coast Local First Business Insider Edition of 2025
Leticia Bravo's Journey: From Patient to Practitioner, Changing Lives One Health Goal at a Time.
Leticia had not known that her life’s calling was to help others. Growing up in a small Florida town, Leticia was the first in her family to graduate from high school, driven by a dream to build a better life not just for herself, but for those she would one day care for. With unwavering determination, she pursued a career in nursing—a path that combined her natural compassion with a deep desire to make a difference. What started as a personal goal soon became a mission to touch lives in ways she never imagined, bringing hope, healing, and kindness to everyone she met.
Inspired by that same drive to serve, Leticia pursued a career in healthcare, eventually becoming a board-certified nurse practitioner with the Florida Board of Nursing. Over the course of two decades, she built an impressive career, working in internal medicine, family medicine, rural clinics, women’s health, pediatric care, and even med spas.
Her inspiration to become a nurse practitioner started in high school, during her first gynecologist appointment. Like many young women, Leticia had been nervous for weeks leading up to the visit, unsure of what to expect. The anxiety weighed heavily on her mind, causing sleepless nights and endless questions about how the appointment would go. However, when the day finally came, Leticia’s experience was nothing like the fear she had imagined.
"The nurse practitioner who cared for me wasn’t rushed or cold." mention Leticia when telling Palm Coast Local her first experience in her personal healthcare. "Instead, she took her time explaining each step of the process, answering my questions, and providing reassurance with a calm, compassionate voice."
The practitioner’s gentle guidance and kindness eased Leticia’s fears and turned what could have been a terrifying experience into an empowering one. As Leticia walked out of the clinic that day, she couldn’t stop thinking about the impact that one person had on her that would last through her entire career. This nurse had left a lasting impression on her young mind—her desire to help others in the same way came from this one encounter.
Years later, Leticia earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University, graduating with honors in 2012. Over time, she gained experience in various areas of healthcare, from internal medicine to women’s health. But it wasn’t until she embarked on her own personal weight loss journey that she found her true calling.
Like many of her patients, Leticia had struggled with weight management. That’s why she decided to become her own patient with a custom-tailored weight loss plan that fit her lifestyle. Experiencing the program firsthand gave her a unique understanding of what her patients would go through. She knew how it felt to start the process, to face doubts and fears, and to celebrate small victories along the way.
Now, with her wealth of experience and personal connection to the program, Leticia is excited to walk alongside anyone who wants to take back control of their health and overall well-being. Her goal is to help others not only shed pounds but also embrace a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
"It's not just my patients' journey," said Leticia. "It's my journey too, with each and every patient."
Today, Leticia not only has a thriving weight loss practice, but she is proud to announce the Grand Opening of Mosaic Health & Wellness in Palm Coast. This new office is more than just a weight loss center—it’s a comprehensive healthcare solution that addresses the root causes of weight gain. By combining weight loss treatments with medical care for common health issues such as hormone imbalances, diabetes, and thyroid disorders, Leticia is helping her patients achieve lasting results.
Mosaic Health & Wellness is part of a new health system you may not be familiar with but is gaining popularity in Florida and around the country. It’s called Direct Primary Care (DPC)—a membership-based system that focuses on personalized care by combining treatment for common health issues with wellness services. This model allows patients to access comprehensive healthcare without the barriers of traditional insurance. For those struggling with weight, it also includes a custom-tailored weight loss plan when needed, making it a holistic approach to health and wellness.
The impact is undeniable. Leticia’s approach empowers her patients, both women and men, to take control of their health and reclaim their lives. She’s not just helping people lose weight—she’s helping them live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Leticia believes that everyone deserves to feel their best, and she’s committed to making that possible, one patient at a time. After all, she isn’t just a healthcare provider. She’s someone who understands exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes. Because she’s been there too.
