"Joining one of the Tribe Vibe programs was nothing like I expected. It wasn’t just a class. It was a true dialogue among people. Every session is purposeful, and we all play a role in each other’s growth. The tools I’ve learned have become a part of my daily life, and more than that, I now have a community that’s always there for me."

"Taking brief pauses throughout the day to check in with myself helps me handle stress better, and the thought reframing exercises have been a game-changer for shifting negative thoughts. These well-studied techniques are something I use every day, and they’ve made a huge difference in how I react to challenges.”."

Manna Wellness has shown up where help is needed the most. We've stood with cancer patients fighting through fear and fatigue. We’ve held space for women rising from the weight of abuse, and for children who’ve gone to bed hungry while their families struggled to afford the medicine they need. We’ve been there for people carrying invisible pain such as chronic stress, trauma, and loss.​​
Manna Wellness was founded by Francis Baltazar in 2013 to create spaces that offer more than just services, but holistic healing. With over 15 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, and working as Chief of Staff for an esteemed nonprofit in San Francisco, Francis drew from both personal challenges and professional insight. Living with chronic stress from epilepsy and working with under-resourced communities taught him that real change begins from within.
Through programs like BodySync, Lumina, and Tribe Vibe, Manna Wellness fosters healing by connecting individuals with themselves and others.
We strongly believe and advocate that healing thrives in community, not isolation.
From that foundation, people heal, build resilience, and thrive.
