Inspiring Conversations with Lindsey Beauboeuf of Mozaïk Lifestyle Medicine

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lindsey Beauboeuf.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was born and raised in Haiti, where care is rooted in relationship. You don’t just treat illness. You sit with people. You listen. You know their story, their food, their family, their faith. That’s the kind of care that shaped me, long before I ever put on a white coat.

When I moved to the U.S. and became a board-certified Family Medicine doctor, I tried to bring that same depth into my practice. But the system didn’t leave room for it. It was all speed and checklists. Surface-level solutions. I kept showing up, but it didn’t feel like healing.

Over time, I started to lose my joy. Then I lost my voice. I felt like I was being pushed into a version of care that went against everything I believed in. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t just tired. I was deeply unwell.

So I stepped away. No grand plan. Just the courage to say, “I can’t keep doing this like everyone else.”

I took a sabbatical. I reconnected with myself, my family, my roots, and my faith. And in that quiet, I started to imagine something different, a kind of care that was whole, honest, and culturally rooted.

That vision became Mozaïk Lifestyle Medicine.

We open our doors this September in the Vinings and Smyrna area. Mozaïk is the kind of medical space I always hoped existed. Now, I get to build it.

But healing doesn’t stop at the clinic.

After losing my mother-in-love to cervical cancer, I started The Haitian Doctor. It is a nonprofit that began in grief and grew into a mission to bring culturally grounded health education to Haitian communities. It is about making care feel familiar, not foreign.

And then there is Domaine Rowe, my creative expression and my joy. I co-founded it with my husband as a space to celebrate Haiti through storytelling, food, and art. We host our first supper club this summer, and it is not just a dinner. It is an experience. I pour everything into it — the vibe, the flavors, the music, the memory. I want my guests to feel transported, seen, and deeply cared for. The kind of gathering that fills your cup and stays with you long after.

Through Domaine Rowe, I get to bring my fondest memories of growing up Haitian to life. I get to pass down this legacy to my children and share it with the world.

Everything I do, whether in medicine, service, or celebration, is about creating spaces where our people feel whole, held, and at home.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not even close.

Leaving the system was terrifying. I didn’t have a plan, just a deep knowing that I couldn’t stay in a space that was breaking me. Financial uncertainty, imposter syndrome, the fear of starting over. I experienced it all! And the healthcare world doesn’t exactly encourage doctors to walk away, especially women of color.

There were moments when I questioned everything. Whether I’d made a mistake. Whether anyone would understand what I was trying to create. Whether I had what it takes to lead something that looks and feels completely different.

But healing isn’t always smooth. Sometimes it looks like stopping. Sitting. Listening. Then getting back up and doing something you’ve never done before.

Mozaïk came out of that process. And every challenge along the way has made it clearer why this work matters. It’s not just a business. It’s how I reclaim my voice, and how I help other women reclaim theirs too.

As you know, we’re big fans of Mozaïk Lifestyle Medicine . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Mozaïk Lifestyle Medicine is a boutique cash-based medical practice where lifestyle meets culture. We focus on whole-person care that is personal, not prescriptive. The kind that listens. The kind that honors both science and soul.

We specialize in Lifestyle Medicine for women who are tired of being rushed, dismissed, or patched up with one-size-fits-all care. Most of our patients are Black and Afro-Caribbean women who have been told for years to just lose weight, manage their stress, or take another pill. But they want something deeper. They want care that gets it, care that understands their story and their roots.

At Mozaïk, we take time. We ask better questions. We look at how you’re sleeping, what you’re eating, how you’re moving, how you’re thinking, how you’re feeling… And we build a plan that reflects your actual life. We center your culture, your values, and your lived experience. That’s what sets us apart.

This isn’t a clinic where you wait an hour for a rushed visit. This is a space for restoration. For real prevention. For care that feels like coming home to yourself.

I’m proud of the kind of medicine we’re creating. It’s not sterile. It’s not transactional. It’s sacred. We open this fall in the Vinings and Smyrna area. And while Mozaïk was built with Black and Afro-Caribbean women in mind, our doors are open to anyone who feels at home in this kind of healing.

This is care that meets you where you are and honors where you come from.

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
Right now, the book I spend the most time with is the Bible. Not just for prayer, but because I’m genuinely curious about the mind of God. It’s been a blueprint for how I live. Every time I open it, I find something I didn’t expect, something that feels meant for that moment.

I also love stories that are soulful or just plain funny. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson made me laugh out loud when I needed it most. The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom made me pause. Books by Paulo Coelho always make me reflect.

Lately, I’m deep into audiobooks. Life’s full, and they meet me where I am. The Body Keeps the Score, How to Do the Work by Nicole LePera, and Living Fearless by Jamie Winship have all left a mark. That last one, Living Fearless, actually birthed Mozaïk. It helped me see who I really am in God. And once I saw that, I couldn’t stay quiet anymore.

I’ve also loved Start With Why, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, The Mountain Is You, Krik? Krak! and Le Petit Prince. Yes, I’m all over the place, and I love that about me.

As for podcasts, I’ve dabbled, but none have really stuck yet.

Apps? I’m not ashamed to say that ChatGPT and MiaGPT have been clutch for organizing my thoughts. And I’m a Pinterest girl through and through. My boards are basically my digital altar of ideas.
