What is an “integrative approach” to wellness?

As a speaker, survivor and lifelover, I have a personal mission to…

“inspire people to make a commitment to healthy living, turning hopes and intentions into the highest enjoyment of life.”

My 2nd TEDx Talk this year

SO imagine how excited I was to present three wellness-inspired programs at a luxury spa with this exact vision!

Canyon Ranch is the world’s recognized leader in healthy living and luxury spa vacations, with destination spa resorts that have received countless awards and accolades for an innovative approach to health and fitness, and for the serene, relaxing and inspiring spa environments.

A Canyon Ranch experience is an immersive exploration of mind-body wellness in a relaxed setting of casual elegance and unsurpassed personal service — where every moment is yours to savor.

Mind Body Wellness

It was a great weekend, speaking (and performing!) on wellness, creativity, and joy — three of my favorite topics!

I also gave away some of my favorite creative secrets to building resilience.

Canyon Ranch was an ideal spot for immersive performance… I got to perform excerpts of Gutless and Grateful in their beautiful library!

To say that the natural scenery that surrounds the beautiful Lenox location is breathtaking is one thing…but the art this was so thoughfully placed everywhere was exquisite , inspiring, and calming.

SO what turns a luxury spa into a total wellness Mecca?

Canyon Ranch has everything covered…

  • Fitness & Movement
  • Nutrition & Food
  • Health & Healing
  • Mind & Spirit
  • Spa & Beauty

Here’s a bit of a video of my presentation…
