Curated Wellness & Select Consulting
I’m Cher Meli—an advisor, curator, and experiential leader whose work sits at the intersection of wellness, hospitality, and intentional design.
My background spans over 25 years as a yoga teacher, meditation guide, and spiritual mentor, alongside a formative career in A-list hospitality and high-touch event environments in New York and Los Angeles. From early on, I was immersed in spaces where presence mattered as much as precision—where the ability to read a room, shape an experience, and hold both energy and logistics was essential.
That foundation has informed everything I do.
Over the decades, I’ve led international retreats, immersive gatherings, and transformational wellness experiences; guided advanced teacher trainings and mentorships; and developed personal and spiritual growth programs across live, digital, and experiential formats. My work is informed by Classical Yoga and contemplative traditions, and grounded in a deep understanding of nervous system regulation, perception, and embodied change.
Today, I collaborate selectively with brands, properties, and partners seeking refined, high-integrity wellness experiences—work that is thoughtful, human, and crafted with discernment and care. These engagements may include curated programming, immersive retreats, experiential gatherings, and advisory support for wellness-forward initiatives.
This work is limited by design.
In parallel, I am the founder of Midlife Mastery™, a live experience and reinvention framework for women navigating midlife transitions, and the host of the Confessions of a Selfish Bitch podcast. Together, these threads reflect a throughline of my work: helping people and organizations to create experiences that are steady, intentional, and support clarity, cohesion, and momentum.
This is not trend-driven wellness.
It is experiential work shaped by lineage, lived experience, and decades of practice.
