§ Founders
The two people behind the practice

Two founders. A promise you can name — held in person, in Miami.

Amerika Wellness is not a brand with a founder story attached. It's two people who couldn't find the care they wanted for the people they love — so they built it. Erika reads your labs and writes your plan. Joshua coaches the training that carries it. Same city, same studio, no handoffs.

Founder · Chief Executive & Operations Officer

Erika A. Garcia.

Miami, FL

Erika started Amerika Wellness because the version she wanted didn't exist here. Miami has plenty of wellness — most of it loud, most of it a menu. She wanted the opposite: a quiet room, a clinician who actually reads your labs, and a plan you can live with on a Tuesday.

Medical Assistant and Skin Care Specialist by training. Ten years inside private practices in South Florida, watching what made real clients stay — and what made the good ones quietly leave.

Her work sits at the intersection of longevity science and hospitality. She reads every intake herself. She writes every welcome. She is the reason nothing here feels like a chain.

Wellness in Miami should feel private, precise, and personal. Not a product menu.

Philosophy

Care that reads you before it prescribes.

Erika's rule: no protocol starts without a real conversation and a real look at the numbers. Labs first, story second, plan third — in that order, without exception.

  1. 01
    Labs first

    Twice-a-year bloodwork is the floor, not the ceiling. If we can't measure it, we don't promise it.

  2. 02
    One clinician

    You are not handed off. The person who reads your intake is the person who signs your plan.

  3. 03
    Fewer options, not more

    A good plan removes decisions rather than adding them. Fewer moving parts, better adherence.

Founder · Chief Experience & Performance Officer

Joshua Gutierrez.

Miami Beach, FL

Joshua brings the performance and hospitality layer. Certified personal trainer, ten years transforming men and women through strength, nutrition, and cardiovascular work — including his own reformation.

In parallel, a career in luxury hospitality — most recently leading pool and beach operations at Shelborne by Proper in Miami Beach. Eight years overseeing VIP relations, guest recovery, and elevated service in Miami's most demanding rooms.

That's what makes the client experience different. Every protocol lands with the operational precision of a five-star property — never the coldness of a clinic.

Transformation isn't a shortcut. It's a system — trained, tracked, and lived every day.

Philosophy

A system you can hold — for the next decade, not the next six weeks.

Joshua's rule: the plan you can keep beats the plan you can brag about. Strength, sleep, and the boring hours are the whole game.

  1. 01
    Trained, not tricked

    Progressive strength three times a week. Zone 2 in between. The rest is decoration.

  2. 02
    Service-grade delivery

    You get five-star hospitality energy — clear check-ins, quiet follow-up, no wait times.

  3. 03
    Boring is the point

    Consistency beats intensity every single quarter. We coach for the tenth year, not the tenth week.

Short answers · linked to what they run

  • “Zone 2 before sunrise. No phone until it's done.”

Together

The clinic answers the phone. The plan holds on a Tuesday. Both are on purpose.
