Empowering Your Journey to Proactive Wellness

From Corporate Healthcare to Wellness Pioneer

After spending 22 years navigating the complex world of corporate healthcare, I realized something profound: our healthcare system is designed to be reactive, not proactive. We wait until we're sick to seek treatment, rather than taking preventive measures to stay healthy. This realization led to a pivotal moment of burnout and, ultimately, a complete career transformation.

The Power of Self-Care as Healthcare

For many years, I've been passionate about personal health, fitness, and the transformative benefits of infrared sauna therapy. I discovered that we don't have to wait for illness to strike—we can take our health into our own hands. This philosophy became the foundation of everything I do: self-care is truly healthcare.

At SaunaZen Wellness Studio, we focus on three powerful modalities that I use in my daily wellness practice:

  • Infrared Sauna Therapy: Deep, penetrating heat that promotes detoxification, pain relief, and cardiovascular health
  • Regular Exercise: Movement as medicine for physical and mental well-being
  • Mindful Wellness Practices: Integrating holistic approaches to total body health

Our Mission

My mission is simple but powerful: to show others that we can take control of our health proactively. We don't need to wait for disease to strike before we act. Through education, guidance, and support, I want to help you discover how indoor sauna therapy and other wellness practices can transform your life.
