After 25 years at the intersection of global luxury hospitality and human performance, and after navigating my own autoimmune illness, mold toxicity, and losing both parents to cancers linked to environmental exposure, I became certain of one thing:
where you live and where you stay shapes your health more profoundly than most people realize.
I don't consult
from the outside.
I build from the inside.
The Work
Strategic operations meets environmental health.
My work sits at the intersection of environmental science, restorative design, and operational excellence. I've led Aman's global spa division across 23 properties, directed pre-opening projects across Europe and India, and built the world's first Ketamine-Assisted Neurofeedback program at 40 Years of Zen.
My superpower is entering complex systems, diagnosing where value and wellbeing are being lost, and architecting something better.
The Origin
This work is personal.
I grew up in Seattle, spent decades building world-class wellness programs — and I got sick. Not dramatically. Gradually, the way most environmental illness works: fatigue, brain fog, immune dysregulation. Eventually a mold diagnosis. Eventually a pattern I couldn't ignore.
I watched my parents lose their lives to cancers with documented links to environmental toxin exposure. I had to ask the question most people avoid: what in our daily environment is contributing to this?
"When people and planet come first, profit follows. That's not idealism — it's a design principle."
Sana Stays is the framework I built to answer that question — for homes, for rental properties, for hospitality brands that want to do more than look beautiful. Sana means heal. That's the standard.

The Framework
Science-backed. Soul-aligned. Built for real spaces.
The Sana framework addresses five pillars that determine whether a home or property actively supports health: air and water quality, materials and toxic exposure, circadian and sensory environment, connection to nature, and the human experience that results from getting all of it right.
This isn't wellness theater. Every standard is evidence-informed. Every recommendation is practical. The goal is never perfection — it's measurable, meaningful improvement in how people feel in the spaces where they spend most of their lives.
