Spiritual Medicine Support Group
Where Faith & Support Unite — A safe, loving space for those living with chronic illness
Holiday Break Announcement
As the holiday season approaches, we're taking a nurturing pause to honor this time of reflection, connection, and restoration. The Spiritual Medicine Support Group will be on break for the season. We'll resume our meetings in the new year, ready to continue our spiritual care path together.
Wishing you all a peaceful, joy-filled holiday season. May you find rest, inspiration, and spiritual nourishment in the weeks ahead. I look forward to reuniting in the coming new year with renewed energy and an open heart!
Love & Gratitude
Welcome to Spiritual Medicine!
We're so happy you found us! Spiritual Medicine Support Group is a hybrid, faith-based peer support community where you can breathe and freely share your faith, experiences, and vulnerabilities — all love, no shaming, just compassion.
We see God's word as "spiritual medicine." We are part of Juicy Fruits Ministry, a nonprofit, peer-based support community that provides non-medical advice. We always encourage you to follow your medical team's advice and care treatment plans.
Faith gives us hope, strength, and comfort as we walk through the healing process. We are transparent about real-life struggles and explore biblical guidance through scripture, worship, and prayer to keep hope alive daily.

About Our Founder
Yvette Salinas is a patient and community advocate who relates to the effects of daily chronic illness — a 30-year Lupus SLE, Thyroid Cancer, and Kidney Nephritis survivor. At 26, after the birth of 2 children, she was diagnosed with Lupus SLE. Her aunt's final words — "Never give up on yourself, and most of all on God" — renewed her hope and faith. She is now honored to pay it forward by encouraging, empowering, and supporting individuals and families. We invite you, your loved ones, friends, and caregivers to join a loving, faith-filled, supportive space.
What We Believe
The hope we stand on — shared with love, never pressure:
We believe God is our Healer (Jehovah-Rapha) of the body, mind, and spirit, and still heals to this day. In the book of Exodus, God declares to the Israelites while in the wilderness: "For I am the Lord who heals you [Jehovah-Rapha]" (Exodus 15:26; Isaiah 53:5; Psalm 103:2–3; Jeremiah 17:14; James 5:14–15).
We believe healing is often a journey, not a moment — and every step of that process is held safely in God's loving hands. (Philippians 1:6).
We believe in being confident of this, that which God has put before us, will come to completion — he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6).
We believe God's timing is perfect. When answers seem delayed, His grace meets us right where we are, and His plans for us are still good. (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
We believe that faith and medicine work hand in hand — we trust God as our ultimate Healer while honoring the doctors and care teams He has placed in our lives. (James 1:5).
All scriptures are from the New International Version (NIV).
Wherever you are in your healing journey — newly diagnosed, years into treatment, or simply in need of hope — you are welcome here, exactly as you are.
