Wellness, to me, begins with stillness — ocean air, morning coffee, shade from the trees, and the feeling of finally being at peace.

In Costa Rica, wellness feels natural. It’s the healthy food, the fresh fruits, the simple meals, the slower lifestyle, and being outside almost all day. It’s walking more, moving more, breathing deeper, and feeling connected to the people and the land.

Being in a Blue Zone area has inspired me so much — the way people live, eat, gather, and enjoy life. With so many incredible plants and botanicals growing all around, I’ve become interested in making my own natural oils and using what nature provides.

I am truly the best version of myself when I’m in Costa Rica. I feel my best, I look my best, and I feel most at home.
