Goodbye LA, Hello UAE: A New Chapter Begins
Some places shape you. Others call you forward.
For the past 20 years, Los Angeles has been my home—a city of endless sunrises over the Pacific, spontaneous beach walks in Marina del Rey, and the boundless energy of creativity and entrepreneurship. It’s where I built my career, healed my body, and discovered my true calling in hypnotherapy and sound healing.
But some journeys whisper to you before you even realize you're ready. And now, it's time for a new adventure—one that leads me to the Middle East, a region pulsing with innovation, luxury wellness, and infinite possibility.
Why I’m Saying Goodbye to LA
Los Angeles has been a chapter of profound growth. It’s where I transitioned from the high-octane world of luxury automotive experiential marketing into a deeply fulfilling path in holistic wellness. I built Altha, worked with iconic brands like Google, TikTok, Ferrari, Mastercard, Dyson and Gucci, and held transformative hypno-sound baths for thousands of guests.
Yet, something within me knew it was time for a change.
Perhaps it was the pull toward new horizons, the longing for a fresh landscape, or the desire to step outside my comfort zone and expand into a market that fully embraces wellness, luxury, and high-performance living.
Riyadh, AlUla, the Red Sea, Dubai, Jordan, Doha and Abu Dhabi kept appearing in my orbit—through collaborations, clients, and invitations. Every sign pointed in one direction: The Middle East was calling.
Why the UAE? A Vision for the Future
The United Arab Emirates is where innovation meets tradition, where luxury merges with well-being, and where the future is being shaped in real time. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are home to some of the world’s most forward-thinking wellness destinations, and I’m beyond excited to bring Altha’s transformative sound healing experiences to this part of the world.
Here’s what draws me to the UAE:
A Thriving Luxury Wellness Scene – From Six Senses Southern Dunes & Zighy Bay to The Lana, Banyan Tree Bluewaters, The St. Regis, and Anantara, the region is setting new standards for high-end well-being experiences. My mission? To introduce the profound benefits of sound healing and clinical hypnotherapy to those seeking balance, serenity, and deep restoration.
A Lifestyle Aligned with My Vision – A villa-style home with space for Zen (my dog), a slower pace, and a thriving community of entrepreneurs, wellness leaders, and global visionaries.
Endless Opportunities for Growth – The UAE is a hub for world-class events, luxury retreats, and transformative experiences. It’s a place where my expertise in high-end hospitality, wellness, and content creation can thrive in ways I never imagined.
