I bring together over a decade of luxury hotel sales leadership with a formal wellness certification, creating revenue strategies and partnerships that are both high-performing and deeply human.My background spans luxury brands, lifestyle hotels, experiential travel, and nature-based destinations, where I specialize in building meaningful client relationships, driving transient business, and aligning sales strategy with brand values.Wellness is not an add-on—it’s a business differentiator. Through mindfulness, breathwork, and holistic programming, I support hotels in elevating guest experiences, strengthening emotional connection, and expanding wellness-driven revenue opportunities.

   I lead sales the same way I approach life and wellness—grounded in presence, purpose, and authentic connection. With over 25 years in luxury hospitality and a 500-hour yoga certification, I bring a calm, intentional, and relationship-driven mindset to building meaningful partnerships.Inspired by the natural rhythm, I view sales as a form of service—rooted in listening, alignment, and trust. I’m deeply curious, heart-led, and energized by like-minded communities that value sustainability, wellbeing, and experiences that feel both elevated and human.Whether cultivating long-term client relationships or collaborating across teams, I believe the most impactful results come from leading with integrity, honoring people and place, and creating value that is thoughtful, lasting, and aligned.
