Who We Are
Built on Empathy. Grounded in Science.
My People’s Health, a Medical Corporation, is a wellness-focused medical clinic created to change the way people experience health support and rejuvenation.
Our practice was founded by Emilie Watonsi, DNP, with co-owner Dr. Sherry Yafai, MD. Together, they built My People’s Health on a strong clinical foundation shaped by years of hands-on experience, patient advocacy, and a dedication to whole-person care.
We saw how often people felt rushed, unheard, or treated like a chart instead of a person. So we created a different kind of practice: one where modern, evidence-based treatments are delivered with genuine warmth, and where every client is welcomed like family.

Our Solution
A different kind of practice: one where advanced, evidence-based medical treatments are paired with genuine warmth, welcoming every client like family.
Our Promise
Every service is delivered with intention, integrity, and care – and every client leaves feeling heard, respected, and supported.
