Cheongju, South Korea, is where my journey began.

Sent overseas at 14 for education, navigating life as an international student taught me adaptability and situational-awareness.

Returning to Korea for mandatory military service mid-college, I learned the power of self-discipline and gratitude.

Upon returning, I met my wife, completed pharmacy degree (Ohio Northern University) and found ourselves in New Mexico, starting a new chapter together.

Working in healthcare through COVID and the loss of our beloved cat Mango, along with losing my job, left me quite broken.

Yet, waiting on the other side of suffering were some of my greatest blessings:

4 loving cats

Entrepreneurial path

Genuine relationships

More authentic, healthy self

I sense that this cycle of Yin and Yang will continue until death.

I will likely experience —

The pain of saying goodbye to my parents and each of our cats

and

The overwhelming bliss of nurturing a child of my own.

My journey inspired me to create Pharmers Market, a platform to share my story, knowledge, and resources.

It’s never too late to find your calling.

Maya Hardman

PharmD, PhC, AAHIVP, BC-ADM

Born and raised in Yellow Springs, Ohio,

My journey into healthcare began with a desire to make a positive impact.

My path led me to study overseas in Costa Rica —

Where I faced personal health challenges.

Soon after returning home, I lost my grandfather, our family's glue and anchor.

These challenges profoundly shaped my understanding of the interconnectedness of physical and mental well-being.

During my residency in New Mexico, I had the privilege of serving underinsured and underserved communities.

It was eye-opening to witness the lack of mental wellness care and structure provided to these populations.

Post-residency, as a diabetes provider, I focused on patient empowerment.

Now, as a pharmacy manager at La Familia Medical Center,

I strive to support my patients with empathy and dedication.

Despite the demands of my full-time role, my passion lies in advancing care across all areas of healthcare.

I am particularly dedicated to promoting women’s and children’s health to enhance their mental well-being.

Reflecting on my journey,

My mission is to empower individuals, especially women and children, to gain control of their well-being with holistic health education and authentic support.

At Pharmers Market, I vow to share my expertise, resources with compassion.

You can redefine your path at any time.
