My Wellness Journey Is Now Part of My Business

Why I Added Wellness to My Travel Business

Because the most meaningful journeys begin within.

For years, I’ve built my travel business around a simple but powerful belief: travel changes people.

It opens eyes. It softens hearts. It reminds us how expansive the world is.

I’ve curated getaways for groups, planned milestone trips, and guided countless travelers to experiences that left them breathless, reconnected, and renewed.

But while I’ve been pouring into others, I came to realize… I hadn’t been pouring into myself in the same way.

Recently, I found myself facing some subtle but persistent signs that my own wellness needed attention. Fatigue that wouldn’t lift. Brain fog that crept in. Weight that wouldn’t budge, no matter what I tried. And more than anything, a quiet knowing that it was time to do something different.

That’s when I made a decision—to take my own health seriously and begin what I now call my personal wellness journey.

The Wellness Wake-Up Call

Planning Paradox

I started working with an integrative doctor who helped me look beyond the surface and dig into root causes. I began taking supplements for the first time in my life—supporting everything from my thyroid to my sleep to my energy. I committed to drinking more water, being more intentional about food, and learning to say “yes” to rest.

I also began exploring movement in a way that felt nurturing rather than punishing. Yoga, Tai chi, breathwork, and gentle resistance training became part of my weekly rhythm. Even 10-minute sessions are a win—and a radical act of self-care.

And the more I leaned into this process, the more I realized something profound:

Travel and wellness aren't separate. They are deeply connected and when we combine them, the result is transformative.

Wellness + Travel: A Natural Integration

Travel has always had a way of resetting our internal compass. Whether it’s watching a sunrise over the ocean, soaking in a hot spring in a mountain village, or simply sitting in silence with no emails and no expectations—the act of leaving your everyday space makes room for clarity, healing, and perspective.

So it only made sense that as I began this wellness journey personally, I would begin weaving it into my business professionally.

I’m now expanding my offerings to include wellness retreats and intentional travel experiences that support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. These aren’t just vacations. They’re spaces to return to yourself, to rest deeply, and to leave lighter than when you arrived.

My clients are already asking for this. Women’s groups, spiritual leaders, corporate teams—so many of us are seeking...

Not just adventure, but alignment.

Not just rest, but restoration.

And that’s exactly what I provide through curated wellness experiences that are effortless, soulful, and beautifully executed.

If You're Just Starting Your Wellness Journey...

Strategic Retreat Partner

Let me say this: I see you.

I know how hard it is to make yourself a priority. I know how easy it is to stay in survival mode. But the truth is—you deserve to feel good. You deserve to feel whole.

And wellness doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

It starts with small shifts. A new habit. A daily walk. A supplement that gives you a bit more clarity or calm. A quiet moment in the morning that belongs just to you.

To support you, I’ve created a curated collection of wellness products I use and recommend—all available on Amazon. These are great whether you’re home or traveling, and each one has played a role in helping me feel more grounded, more vibrant, and more in control of my health.

What's Next...

This expansion into wellness isn’t a departure—it’s an evolution.

It’s me practicing what I preach. It’s me walking in alignment with the very experiences I create for my clients. It’s a return to wholeness, and I’m so excited to bring others along for the journey.

So whether you’re a fellow traveler, a retreat leader, or someone who’s just ready to feel good again—know that there’s space for you in this new chapter.

Let’s plan travel that transforms you on the outside and heals you from the inside out.

P.S. Stay tuned—my wellness retreat offerings are coming soon. Think restorative locations, soulful community, and full-service planning that lets you just show up and breathe.

With intention and grace,

Terry
