I’m Dr. Kharia J. Holmes—physician, author, friend, and most importantly, a proud mother. Originally from Houston, Texas, I now call the DMV home, making me a #SouthernGirlTurnedNorth. I live in a multigenerational household and am raising an amazing young child who keeps me on my toes (and sometimes in the air!).
As a primary care physician, I believe in helping people take a proactive role in their health. My goal is to empower patients with knowledge, encourage meaningful conversations with their providers, and promote overall well-being.
Like many, I’m still figuring out how to balance my personal life, passions, and career. I strive for perfection but have learned that progress—and a little grace—matters more.
Welcome to my blog! I hope you find inspiration, knowledge, and support here. Let’s navigate this health journey together!
Taking an active role in your health is important, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may have questions about certain health topics but aren’t sure how to start the conversation with your primary care provider (PCP). While this blog is not a substitute for medical advice or a doctor-patient relationship, my goal is to provide general information that helps you feel more informed when speaking with your healthcare provider.
I strive to share accurate and helpful content, but every person’s health is unique. Always consult your PCP—who knows your medical history—before making any healthcare decisions. The information here is meant to support, not replace, professional medical guidance tailored to your specific needs.
