Regie Tiu isn’t just a CEO—he’s a guiding light for healthcare entrepreneurs who want more from their practices and their lives. His commitment to creating a sustainable business rooted in values and authentic leadership has turned him into a transformational figure among private owners of healthcare practices. But what separates Regie isn’t just his success—it’s how he got there.
In the article below, we’re sharing his approach to running a mission-driven business, building a raving fanbase, and teaching others how to lead from the heart, all while managing a team and planning his breakout into public speaking stages across the country.
From Fired Employee to Empowered Entrepreneur
In his mid-30s, Tiu found himself suddenly fired from a clinic where he spent over a decade. For many, that would have been a devastating blow. But for him, it was a turning point. With zero clients and limited financial resources, he launched his own clinic, determined to take back control of his destiny.
“I didn’t want to feel powerless ever again,” he recalls. He borrowed money and opened the doors to a big office space in New York, believing in his vision to fill it up with patients—far enough from premium real estate to matter, but close enough to pose a challenge. He knew competing on location and visibility alone wouldn’t work. So, he leaned into what he did best—building deep relationships and delivering exceptional experiences.
Over time, those principles paid off. Patients walked 15 blocks or more just to be seen by his team, something nearly unheard of in a city where healthcare options are abundant. His secret? Heart-centered care paired with operational excellence.
Helping Others Avoid the Mistakes He Had to Learn the Hard Way
After a decade of refining internal systems in his clinic, Regie learned lessons few textbooks teach. Issues like high turnover, unclear hiring standards, and poor retention haunted him in his early phases. One year, he lost 27 team members within 12 months. It was his breaking point—and his breakthrough.
Through personal development and structured systems, Regie rebuilt himself as a leader and redesigned his hiring from the ground up. His proprietary five-step hiring system—based on clearly defined values and integrative training—turned his clinic into a magnet for aligned team members.
He then turned this knowledge into a foundational part of his growing membership program, helping other practice owners stop the churn and create high-retention teams just like he did. Paired with his concept of creating “word-of-mouth soldiers”—clients who champion your brand—his members receive a complete toolkit to stabilize and elevate their practices.
The Authority of Lived Experience and Strategic Certifications
With over 12 years managing a clinic and decades in the field of physical therapy, Regie isn’t just another wellness coach or Instagram expert. His membership teachings come directly from battles fought and won—something his clients immediately recognize. His certifications in strength and conditioning, ergonomics, and kinesiotaping only enhance the depth of his training and practical expertise.
But Regie is the first to admit that his impact has little to do with degrees or letters behind his name. “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” he often says.
Now, his media presence is catching up with his impact. With guidance from PR and branding experts, he’s building a public presence that matches the scale of his ambition. That includes strategic media placements, building influence on professional podcasts, and securing positions on panels and keynote stages.
Celebrating Growth, Gratitude, and the Audacity to Hope
Regie’s story mirrors the trajectory many entrepreneurs dream of—starting from nothing and building toward a legacy. But what makes his journey special is not how fast he grew, but how intentionally he’s building his next chapter.
His short-term goal is clear: expand a membership offering tangible, financial ROI to practice owners across the country who want freedom without the burnout. Long term, he envisions speaking on large stages and sharing the personal side of his journey—highlighting resilience, responsibility, and leadership.
“Success isn’t just about profits,” he explains. “It’s also about creating a legacy that helps others win.”
Today, Regie is no longer the introverted clinic operator figuring things out alone. He’s a confident mentor, CEO, and emerging speaker with a powerful message to share. Through his next phase in media and keynote speaking, his goal is to accelerate not only his own growth but also the impact of those he’s designed his programs to serve.
And if his track record is any indication, there’s no doubt he’ll do just that.
