You've built a life that can't pause. You shouldn't be the one managing the system behind your care.

Culcha Systems Studio is a private health strategy practice based in Brooklyn, New York. We step into the healthcare system on your behalf, manage the details, coordinate care, and stay until everything is handled so nothing is left for you to carry.

  • The healthcare system isn’t broken. It’s just not built for you.

    When something goes wrong—a diagnosis, a hospitalization, a coverage denial letter—most people are left to figure it out on their own. They get a pamphlet or a phone number. Nobody actually steps in.

    Providers are not talking to each other. Insurance says no. The referral that was supposed to happen three weeks ago is still sitting somewhere. And the person living through all of it is expected to hold it together while the rest of their life doesn’t slow down.

    And when nobody is holding it together, it falls on the person living through it.

    That’s exactly where we step in..

    That’s not a system failure. It’s a design problem.

  • We step in. We take over. We stay until it’s done.

    That means we’re the ones making the calls, filing the appeals, following up on referrals, and making sure every provider is on the same page. We track what’s moving and catch what almost falls. We prepare you for every appointment and make sense of what comes out of it.

    And while we are doing all of that, you are not.

    That is the point.
    You step out of it. We step in.

  • A Health Home is a Medicaid program where you’re assigned a care manager through the system.

    It’s valuable support, but it’s structured around caseloads, eligibility, and what the program allows. Care managers are often supporting many clients at once and working within system limitations.

    CSS is private care.

    You are not assigned. You choose who steps in.

    We work with a small number of clients, we are not limited by a system, and we take full ownership of everything behind your care. Insurance, providers, referrals, follow-ups. Nothing sits. Nothing falls through.

    Public care supports you within a system.
    Private care takes ownership so nothing falls back on you.

  • It’s not only what we do. It’s the standard we work from.

    Most systems separate the person from the process. One handles the emotional side. The other handles the logistics. The result is care that feels disconnected.

    We don’t work that way.

    We stay with the full picture. What’s happening, what’s not being said, and what needs to move. And we hold all of it at the same time.

    Structure without distance.
    Support without confusion.
    Both, fully handled.

  • CSS is a private pay practice. We work with a small number of clients at any given time.

    That’s intentional.

    We work with individuals and families who are left trying to piece their care together without support.

    That might look like a new diagnosis with no clear path forward. A hospitalization that ends with a stack of papers no one explained. An insurance denial that keeps coming back. Providers who’ve never spoken to each other. A life transition that changed everything, including your coverage.

    If you’ve ever said, “I don’t even know where to start,” you’re exactly who we built this for.

The CSS SAFE Method

This is how we work. Every client. Every time.

A structured way of working we’ve developed, built to step into complexity and make sure nothing is missed.

S — Stabilize

The first thing we do is stop anything from getting worse. We identify what’s urgent, what can’t wait, and what will fall apart if nobody handles it today. Everything else comes after that.

A — Attune

Before we build anything, we slow it down. Not just for the facts, but for what’s not being said. Where the confusion is. What hasn’t been explained. What someone’s carrying but hasn’t fully named. We make sure everything is clear before we move forward.

F — Fix the System

We take control of every moving part. Providers, insurance, referrals, follow-ups. We make the calls, file the appeals, and close the gaps. The system doesn’t move on its own. We make it move.

E — Execute and Eliminate the Load

We make sure everything actually happens and remove the burden from the person completely. We don’t hand over a plan and leave. We stay in it until everything is handled so nothing falls back on them.


Every client begins with The Foundation.

From there, we determine the level of support that fits your life, whether that’s ongoing coordination or more focused, short-term support.

The Foundation

Three sessions. We step in, map the full picture, and get everything organized and moving before we step out. This is where every client starts.

The Continuum 

We stay in your corner every month. Insurance, providers, follow-ups, crises. Nothing sits. Nothing comes back to you

The Family Continuum

Everything in the individual continuum, plus full coordination across your household. Every person. Every system. Your care and your child’s care, held together.

The Transition Phase

When something shifts suddenly and you need someone who picks up immediately and stays.

Meet Our Founder

Saraii is Congolese, French, and American, born in France and shaped by experiences that taught her early what it means to move through systems that were not built for you. That understanding is reflected in everything she does. It is not just professional, it is personal.

Culcha Systems Studio was built for people who are done carrying everything on their own.

For those who have reached a point where support is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

For Referral Partners

CSS works alongside clinical and legal professionals across New York City and Washington DC. We handle everything behind your client’s care so you can stay focused on the work only you can do. When your client is overwhelmed by insurance denials, missed referrals, or a discharge they can’t make sense of, we step in. If you work with people navigating health crises or major life transitions, we’d like to know you.
CSS Corporate is also available for organizations interested in workplace health navigation and wellness programming.
