My Signature Process

Intuitive Design

 With over 20 years of experience as founder of LUX World Travel, I now curate customized soulful journeys for a select clientele seeking depth, beauty, and transformation.


Every journey begins with a Plan to Go deposit—a sacred exchange that honors your time and mine, and opens the portal to personalized planning, intuitive design, and intentional travel.

Global Connections, Sacred Experiences

With trusted contacts across the globe, I curate journeys that transcend tourism and awaken the soul.


  • Watch the sunrise with a private guide and shaman at sacred sites
  • Swim with dolphins in crystalline waters, guided by local wisdom
  • Arrive at your snow-covered lodge in a reindeer-drawn sleigh
  • Receive blessings in ancient temples, hike volcanoes at dawn, or soak in jungle hot springs under the stars


Each experience is crafted with intention, beauty, and reverence—designed to reflect your soul’s rhythm and the sacredness of place.

Sacred Travel - Soulful Experiences

Ayurvedic Wellness and Healing

Destination Weddings and Honeymoons

Ayurvedic Wellness and Healing

My favorite itineraries to prepare are transformative Ayurvedic Wellness and Healing journeys to some of the world’s most revered sanctuaries, with a special focus on Bali and India. 


Each experience is guided by trusted practitioners and rooted in ancient wisdom, offering clients a deeply personalized path to renewal, balance, and embodied presence. 


From sacred rituals to luxurious healing resorts, these journeys are designed to nourish the soul and awaken the spirit.

Solo Soulful Trips for Women

Destination Weddings and Honeymoons

Ayurvedic Wellness and Healing

Solo Soulful Trips for Women are sacred journeys designed to reconnect you with your inner truth, creative power, and embodied wisdom. 


These curated experiences offer intentional solitude, spiritual nourishment, and immersive beauty in destinations that awaken the senses—whether nestled in the rice fields of Bali or the temples of Thailand. 


With gentle structure and deep soul support, each trip invites women to travel not just across landscapes, but inward—into clarity, renewal, and radical self-trust.

Destination Weddings and Honeymoons

Destination Weddings and Honeymoons are sacred celebrations of love, designed with intention and beauty in mind. 


I organize these bespoke experiences in breathtaking locales including Bali, India, Thailand, Belize, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean—each chosen for its spiritual resonance and natural splendor. 


With trusted local guides, luxurious healing spaces, and soul-centered rituals, these journeys honor love as a conscious union and a transformative beginning. 


Whether you're exchanging vows beneath temple arches or retreating into post-ceremony bliss by the sea, every detail is crafted to awaken devotion, presence, and lifelong connection.

Mother-Daughter Sacred Journeys

Girlfriend Getaways: Celebrating Sisterhood & Soul

Mother-Daughter Sacred Journeys are intimate, soul-nourishing experiences designed to deepen connection, heal generational patterns, and celebrate the sacred bond between women. 


These transformative trips create the perfect container for renewal.


 With personalized itineraries, trusted guides, and intentional space for reflection and joy, each journey becomes a shared rite of passage—one that honors both the lineage and the evolution of feminine power.

Girlfriend Getaways: Celebrating Sisterhood & Soul

Girlfriend Getaways are soulful escapes designed to celebrate the sacred feminine through joy, ritual, and deep connection. 


Whether nestled in desert sanctuaries or coastal retreats, these curated journeys invite women to rest, reflect, and revel in sisterhood. 


With embodied movement, moonlit ceremonies, and playful luxury woven throughout, each getaway becomes a living altar to feminine power—where laughter heals, stories transform, and shared presence becomes the most sacred offering.


Peace, Pray, Love Journeys

Peace, Pray, Love Journeys are soul-led pilgrimages for women seeking renewal, reverence, and radiant connection. 


Rooted in sacred travel and intentional presence, these journeys weave together meditation, prayerful ritual, and heart-expanding adventure. 


Whether enjoying gelato in Rome, chanting in an enchanting Indian forest, or walking temple paths in Bali, each experience becomes a living prayer—where peace is embodied, love is reclaimed, and the feminine spirit is deeply nourished through sacred travel, ritual, and heart-expanding adventure.
