ABOUT GUEST:
 Cecily Braden Spa & Wellness was started from my passion for travel and desire to create a global spa marketplace where I could offer unique products and services that honor and maintain the traditional techniques and philosophy of international cultures. Cecily traveled extensively throughout Asia learning from Thai Masters and Indonesian Healers and always with the wish to share her global spa experiences and gained knowledge with those who are unable to make the journey on their own.  That desire to share, from rare botanicals to indigenous massage techniques and beliefs that imbibe global spa rituals, is the driving force behind Cecily Braden Spa & Wellness and our dedication to maintain the integrity of ancient healing traditions through comprehensive training and the promotion of cross-cultural spa experiences.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE: 

• Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolving
• Whole food is soul food and fed is best
• Sustainable, synergistic nutrition (the opposite of whack-a-mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)
• You don’t have to figure it out alone
• Do your best and leave the rest
