 To me wellness means, mind, body and soul alignment and to achieve that alignment is a life long journey for most of us.  To be healthy inside and fit outside requires consistent mindfulness.

I have been in the Wellness industry for over 30 years.  I have always had a passion to create a space for others to focus on themselves even if it is for 30 minutes, an hour or days at a time.  I have owned and operated multiple award winning luxury spas over the last 20 years and the reason for their success has been my ability to attract a like minded team, the desire to serve others and to be a forever student.  I am always studying who and what is making an impact to the  Beauty & Wellness Industry.  After 30 years of research and experiences in this industry the basic needs have remained the same but today these needs are at an all-time high.  Stress affects us in so many unhealthy ways and it shows in our faces and our internal and external bodies.  My experience as a professional, with professionals and Executive level professionals is, we often come last when it comes to our health and wellness.

People have less time today and need simplicity in ways to eat healthier, stay fit, take care of their skin, be more productive and shown travel opportunities to decompress and re-ignite the creativity inside to help them grow personally and professionally.

The birth of Emerald 333 |Wellness Designers comes from my passion to surround myself with like minded leaders to bring together a platform of knowledge, experience and the same desire to serve others and help people live a Life by Design through Healthy Living, Travel and Positive Mindset.  We are all on this journey with you.

There is nothing more liberating for me than to travel and see new places, meet new people and taste new foods.  I immediately gain a sense of calm and inspiration when I take time for myself to enjoy the world around me.  I am at my best when I am creating amazing dishes for my family and friends and planning my next place to visit.  To me wellness means, time for myself to exercise, eat and cook healthy and de-stress visiting places that inspire me.

I am so grateful I can now share these experiences and love of food with others. I am passionate about helping others realize the potential that lies within themselves.

I have always found wellness to be an important part of my life but as I got older and my professional levels of responsibility increased the balance of time, nutrition and exercise never seemed to work in sync with my schedule.

The day to day challenge for so many people is to find the motivation to make our own health a priority.

I look forward to sharing my challenges and successes with my own health and well being on this ongoing journey towards wellness.

Everyone has a different connection on how they explore new destinations and cultures.  For me, traveling opens my eyes to how others live.  As much as we are different we are the same.  It has taught me to appreciate these differences, which promotes a healthy attitude & tolerance of other cultures.  Enjoying the local cuisine, shopping in the local markets and learning about the history of your destination is uplifting.  Although I’ve been in the travel industry for 30 years I still feel like each destination is new and exciting and that’s the same attitude I use to plan my client’s vacations.  Travel, explore and refresh.

Since a young age I have felt a connection with helping others and to bring them genuine happiness.  I spent my life putting my energy towards others needs and in return forgot about my own.  Yoga, meditation and journaling helped me discover the love I was lacking for myself.  I have learned the solution to healthy relationships, personal and professional , is to make sure your relationship with yourself is the top priority.

I remind myself daily how important it is to create space, on and off the yoga mat!  Yoga has helped me become more confident and focused than I ever imagined.  I now accomplish goals I once believed were impossible, and my dreams are becoming my reality.  I aspire to share my passion for yoga, the gift of mindfulness, and my enthusiasm for life, to help others who need the guidance that I have received.

This photo is of me in Italy last year and my realization for the benefits of travel and how it gives me the time to step away and look inside myself is something I want to enjoy and share with others throughout my journey.
