To date, she’s undergone 16+ reconstructive plastic surgeries.

Assuaged was founded on the concept of the Blue Zone movement and in the region of Loma Linda, California – one of only five geographical areas in the world and the only one in the United States.

The Murphys are passionately seeking to bridge the gap between healthcare and self-care to meet the needs of healthy living as a method for longevity. They are going beyond charity and unifying people through love and compassion.
