A Batangas-based mental health speaker, registered Psychometrician, with over four years of public speaking experience and an advocate who shares their emotional wounds and turn them into a healing purpose: to listen lovingly.

Check out what participants say about Ish Navarro!

"My feedback would probably be that Miss Ish has been a great example of an advocate, a leader, and someone who cares selflessly. I have been given the chance to hear their time during their presidency and I believe that it gave me a clear vision of what PFC is and what an individual can be capable of doing. As an advocate of mental health, I would quite say that Miss Ish has been doing a great and wonderful job spreading the kind and necessary words that people needs to hear. And It's been truly an honor to hear and listen to what she has to say."
- R. A.

The Wounded Healer Community

I help Filipinos learn about mental health awareness and experience a non-judgmental and empathetic connection.

Why work with me

At present, only 3 to 5 percent of the total health budget is allocated to mental health, and there are only around 1,400 psychologists and 500 psychiatrists in the country. This means there is only 1 psychologist to 80,000 Filipinos (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 2022).But Phlippines ranked as the third country with the highest rate of mental health problems in the Western Pacific Region - over 6 million Filipinos are estimated to live with depression and/or anxiety (WHO, 2017).We are underbudget, short-staffed, and a wounded society. But I say that needs to change. While I'm on my way to becoming a psychologist, my advocacy is here. It aims to destigmatize mental health and be a loving presence, a safe space, for you to be a better version of yourself.

Interviews

I help schools, companies, and local communities spread mental health awareness through professional interviews.
