A Life’s Work
Arc of Care™ was not built from theory.
It was built from thirty years at the intersection of luxury hospitality and wellness, and the hard-earned understanding of what it actually takes to make someone feel genuinely cared for while they travel.
My career began in the rooms that defined modern luxury hospitality: managing Lot 61 in New York and the VIP Lounge at Moomba in Los Angeles, and opening Jet East in the Hamptons and Bungalow 8. The guest list was short, the expectations were impossibly high, and anticipating a need before it was voiced was simply the standard.
When my work shifted into wellness, I brought all of it with me, because hospitality has always been an act of care. I designed and led retreats across Italy, Morocco, Costa Rica, Tulum, Ibiza, and the US. I led one of the top revenue-generating wellness boutiques in Life Time Athletic’s national portfolio, and trained hundreds of practitioners in yoga, breathwork, meditation, and nervous system regulation.
Over twenty years of designing immersive wellness experiences, including my Natural Forgiveness methodology and ESM², a reset framework built around what guests eat, how they sleep, how they move, and how they feel, I learned something no trend report has captured.
People don’t want to be wellness-ified when they travel. They want to feel like themselves. Rested. Nourished. Present. They want someone to have thought about what they need before they knew how to ask for it.
What follows are a few select highlights. Thirty years doesn’t fit on one page. Each one shaped how I understand guests, service, and care.
Wellness and hospitality were never two separate careers. They were always one and the same for me.
That understanding is what Arc of Care™ was built from.
