OK my turn π great seeing many names I recognize here and big shout out to @Brian Von Ancken for bringing together such a thoughtful and forward-thinking group of leaders in the wellness space.
Name:
Location: Southwest Florida (Fort Myers / Estero)
Current Role: Founder & CEO of , a holistic approach that integrates smart, functional movement, science-backed recovery, and community into one cohesive wellness ecosystem. I also am founder of SoulBody Fitness which kickstarted the studio concept - certification programs designed to enhance the group fitness experience for clubs and studios and is now a global company.
Hobbies: Movement in all forms (Pilates, yoga, barre, circuit), tennis, being outdoors as much as possible, travel, and building community-driven wellness events. I also love taking classes while traveling to experience all that is out there!
Favorite Follow / Podcast / Show about Wellness:
I tend to follow leaders working at the intersection of wellness, real estate, and performance that provide for me consistent sources of inspiration. There are a number of podcasts I jump around with but I do try and stay as diverse as I can between the biz of fitness and wellness. I also love hearing from thought leaders outside of the wellness space like Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO). Newsletters that I am subscribed to and read: The Global Wellness Institute, Athletech News, 2% Club (shout out to Rachel Hirsch substack letters), and The Cult Branding Blog (always fantastic perspectives on marketing and leadership).
Topics I am Interested in Connecting About:
β’ Integrated wellness models (exercise AND recovery under one roof)
β’ Longevity, healthspan, and recovery science
β’ Directions the boutique fitness and wellness industry is headed
β’ Community building as a retention and engagement strategy
How You Can Help WGM:
I bring over 10 years of B2B experience working directly with Directors and Operators across multi-location health clubs, studios, and Associations. That vantage point gives me a clear understanding of how wellness decisions are made at scale and where the gaps often exist between programming, experience, and long-term member retention.
Having worked closely with both operators and consumers, I have a strong grasp on what todayβs members are truly seeking to stay engaged long term...not trends, but systems that support consistency, adherence, and results. Iβm a big believer in meaningful networking and collaboration and enjoy connecting people, sharing operator-level insight, and helping bridge strategy with real-world execution
How WGM Can Help You:
Iβm looking to connect with founders, operators, and investors who understand the value of boutique wellness and the power of a thoughtfully designed bricks-and-mortar experience. Iβm especially interested in engaging with investors who are genuinely passionate about wellness, community, and long-term member engagement.
WGM offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with people who appreciate that sustainable growth in wellness and I value being part of a community that supports building businesses with authenticity, integrity, and longevity.
