Mira Aguilar RN

Mira Aguilar RN, California board-certified registered nurse, is the IV Nurse and Lab Manager at Solcere. She was born in New York but has been a globetrotter all her life since birth. She received her BSN in the Philippines and finished her US training at Loma Linda University. She has been practicing for 5 years working primarily in outpatient surgery. Her fascination with the science of nature’s healing properties, and passion for natural processes and treating the patient as a whole is what led her to leave conventional medicine to challenge her role as a nurse in the naturopathic field. She believes that finding and addressing the root cause rather than treating the symptom is what will drive her patients to reach optimal health and essentially become a catalyst for positive change.

“For an individual to discover their full potential, they need to reach optimal health. And in order for them to reach optimal health, they need to have three things; an empowered mind, a balanced body, and a connected soul.” -Mira

As an active member of the American Holistic Nurses Association, the Infusion Nurses Society, and the Association for Vascular Access, our modern day Florence Nightingale is on her way to entering a new role to challenge herself further and follow her dreams of becoming a Nurse Practitioner with a focus on holistic medicine. She is now studying for her master’s degree while continuing to grow at Solcere.

When she is not in the clinic, you may find her on the hiking trails all over southern California, riding the waves at Carlsbad, or on the next flight across the globe.

Tyler Walsh, INHC

Tyler Walsh is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and the Treatment Coordinator at Solcere. She received her certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

Tyler dealt with personal health challenges, which led to her passion in naturopathic medicine. She decided to take charge in optimizing her health and implemented beneficial new lifestyle changes.

Within a few months of working as Solcere’s Treatment Coordinator, she decided to take her knowledge further by becoming a certified Integrative Health Coach. With her passion in treating the body as a whole, she dives deep into the four dimensions of healing with her clients — mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Tyler firmly believes in transforming and developing lifestyle changes tailored to each individual that will last a lifetime.

“Depending on the complexity of each individual’s case, I feel that health coaches bridge the gap between the doctor and patient. The higher the complexity, the more health coaches are essential to a person’s healing journey” —Tyler

When Tyler is not working, she spends her time catching up on reading, being with friends, paddle boarding, traveling, and taking her cat Pinot on walks.
