Luxury Group, Couples & Wellness Travel Specialist
I began my travel career back in 2014 with one mission: to help people experience the kind of travel that restores the mind, nurtures the spirit, and creates memories that last a lifetime. What started with small group travel and wellness retreats quickly grew into the luxury, intentional travel experiences I design today through Heavenly Touch Wellness Travel.Travel is more than a business for me—travel is my passion, my gift, and the way I help others reconnect with joy, rest, and possibility. My specialty is creating elevated travel experiences for three types of travelers who value quality, intention, and ease:
- Luxury Travel for Women Who Want Soft Life, Sisterhood & Ease: I have always believed that women deserve rest, joy, and ease—and travel is one of the most beautiful pathways to reclaiming all three. The women I serve are powerful, high-achieving, and deeply committed to their well-being, but they also often carry the world on their shoulders. My passion is creating luxury group travel experiences for women who want to exhale, laugh, play, heal, and reconnect with themselves.Whether it’s an all-girls escape to the Caribbean, a luxe weekend in a breathtaking villa, or a full-scale international retreat, I design travel that blends comfort, culture, relaxation, and soul-level restoration. I take care of the logistics so you can focus on the laughter, the bonding, the beaches, the spa, and the memories.If you want luxury, intention, and good energy in your travel, you are my people.
- Romantic Travel for Couples Who Want to Get Away: I design travel for couples who want to reconnect, celebrate love, or simply get away together without worrying about planning a thing. I create seamless, high-touch itineraries that feel personal and effortless. One of my favorite destinations for couples is Croatia with its dreamy coastlines, intimate restaurants, and luxury hotels. I also adore planning romantic travel throughout the Caribbean—especially Jamaica and St. Maarten, where love and beauty come naturally.
- Wellness Travel for Individuals Who Use Travel as Self-Care: As a certified wellness professional, I believe deeply in the healing power of travel. I work with individuals who want to use travel as a reset—mind, body, and spirit. My top recommendation for wellness is Costa Rica, where the energy, nature, and peaceful settings create the perfect environment for restoration. Whether you want a private retreat, a solo escape, or a full wellness journey, I specialize in travel that pours into your wellbeing.
My clients choose me because I offer highly personalized, luxury travel planning—not basic packages or bargain shopping. I work best with travelers who value quality, trust expert guidance, and want extraordinary travel experiences. I am not the ideal advisor for those searching for the cheapest prices or sending multiple advisors on “quote hunts.” My travelers want intention, ease, and elevated experiences, and that’s exactly what I deliver.
When you travel with me, you travel with intention, ease, and expert guidance every step of the way. I create travel experiences that are luxurious, meaningful, restorative, and memorable. Whether we’re planning your dream girls’ trip, your next romantic escape, or your personal wellness journey, my goal is simple:
To help you travel beautifully, travel mindfully, and travel in a way that leaves you better than when you left.
Luxury. Ease. Connection. Restoration. That is the heart of every travel experience I create.
