What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness equals how we feel in our mind, body and spirit. Invest in yourself- your purpose, your relationships, healing, taking care of your body and in whatever makes you feel joyful.

Your success mantra?

Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

It’s not the mistake that defines who you are – it’s what you do after you’ve made the mistake that does.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Live out full. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Be genuine Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Still loving what I do and doing it for the joy of it. And knowing that all the struggles have shaped me into a better, stronger, happier version of myself.
