After 33 years as an oncology nurse, Maria Theresa Galang (“Cheng”) knows what it means to show up for people in their darkest moments. She has held hands during diagnoses, comforted grieving families, and served communities through mission work—often giving when she had little to spare. But what changed everything wasn’t just what she saw in the hospital. It was the quiet, crushing financial stress that lingered in the background of nearly every story.
“I realized that even with the best medical care, financial hardship was a constant source of pain. Not just for my patients, but for me and my own family,” Cheng shares. “That’s when I knew I had to do more than treat illness—I had to help people protect their futures.”
Cheng’s transition into financial services wasn’t easy. She didn’t come from money. She didn’t have the luxury of playing it safe. Starting her business meant maxing out credit cards, taking out a personal loan, and betting on herself when others might have folded. But she did it anyway—because her purpose was bigger than her fear.
Today, Cheng brings the same care and clarity that made her an exceptional nurse into her financial practice. Her mission? To eliminate unnecessary risks, fees, and taxes for hardworking families who deserve more than just survival—they deserve a legacy.
“I used to think financial strategies like these were only for the wealthy. But I’ve learned that it’s actually the everyday, middle-income families who need them the most.”
Now part of the High Ticket Premium Agent community, Cheng is building a business rooted in service, integrity, and education. She’s helping people who feel overwhelmed by money make clear, confident choices—people just like the fellow mom she once guided through her first financial breakthrough.
“I’ll never forget her face when I showed her how to protect her income. She lit up. She had hope again.”
Cheng’s strength is her ability to connect—with empathy, with purpose, and with a deep respect for her clients’ stories. Whether it’s a nurse, a single parent, or a struggling family trying to make ends meet, she brings a calm confidence that says: “You’re not alone anymore.”
Her vision? To build a team of like-minded advocates. To be a mentor and guide. And to live out what she calls her greatest transformation—from a tired nurse to a retired nurse, traveling the world with her husband and daughters, knowing she left behind not just a business, but a legacy.
As Cheng puts it, “I want my daughters to see that it’s possible to live a life of purpose and impact—no matter where you start.”
For those looking to take control of their financial lives with someone who actually gives a damn, Cheng Galang isn’t just a consultant—she’s the heart-centered partner you’ve been praying for.
