IT'S never too late to achieve your dreams when hope and perseverance are intertwined.
At 42, Dr. Jimymah Coching, a colon hydrotherapist based in Davao City, took a significant step by joining Mrs. Universe Philippines 2024, representing Mindanao.
Dr. Coching has dedicated 24 years to colon hydrotherapy and spent her entire career educating people on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and marriage. For Dr. Coching, helping others has always been her calling, bringing her immense happiness and a sense of purpose for the past 24 years.
Representing Mindanao in Mrs. Universe Philippines 2024 is a new path for her, one that she believes will further her advocacy of educating people on achieving a healthy and happy lifestyle.
Balancing roles as a full-time mom, wife, grandmother, entrepreneur, and doctor, Dr. Coching remains dedicated to her mission. She is determined to elevate her advocacy, believing it will profoundly help others and create a significant impact.
Despite her various responsibilities, her commitment to promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle shines through, inspiring those around her.
“I am here to educate people. With 24 years of practice, I've reached out to Davao and some nearby areas, but there's so much more to do. Educating people is crucial today; many die not from their sickness but from ignorance. Empowering married women, in particular, involves emphasizing the importance of their health,” Dr. Coching said.
