At 15 years old, my dad was setting me up with internships in PR and marketing. By the time I was 17, my resume was strong, so I was able to get good internships and jobs before graduating from college. I worked as a Marketing Director for luxury hotels like the Delano and the Mondrian until I was about 30 years old. Having become very drained of that lifestyle, I had a sort of awakening and decided to completely change my life. I moved to Peru, had a series of profound healing experiences, and discovered I had an ability to connect with people on a deeper level. While in Peru, I started my first business called Verve Bath, where I would make flower baths for people and personalize what I put in the water for each individual. This was very special and meaningful because I got the chance to hone in on my abilities.

Given these experiences, I wanted to be able to heal and help people on a collective level and on a larger scale, so that’s when I started Vittoria Regia. I saw the name and the company concept in a dream. When I woke up the next day, I looked up what it meant, and discovered it translates to “Royal Victory.”

At Vittoria Regia, I create high-frequency experiences and retreats, mostly throughout Europe’s private Chateaux and Castles. I am expanding, so keep an eye out for South Africa & Upstate New York coming up later in 2026. I pick sacred spaces such as elevated spaces, unique homes and chateaus, but have also partnered with SOHO House globally. We find spaces that are energetically aligned from the bottom up and curate intimate gatherings of 20 to 40 people or larger groups of hundreds, depending on how many people the space and immersive experience allows. My clients are people who are functioning at their peak, such as hedge fund CEOs or venture capitalists, and they seek to connect authentically with others in a similar mindset. Since I deal with energetic dynamics, I see what is out of alignment with my clients to help them streamline their lives and decision-making. We also host panelists who are peak-performing individuals or have had extraordinary life experiences; one such panelist swam across the Antarctic.

For my private clients, I am invited to their castles & estates, and I scan the environment to figure out what needs to be shifted in order to achieve energetic alignment: food, aesthetics, decor, staff and structure. I channel what needs to be shifted within the space in order for it to vibrate at a higher frequency. Many want to know what their properties and artwork emanate sensorially as well. For others, I assess what is in and out of alignment across their life, career, relationships and internal state, curating each session with a deeply personalized approach. The goal is to help clear the path for them to resonate at a higher vibration and optimize their potential.

I am also an artist in addition to being a healer. My artwork has been shown at events such as Art Basel and consists of intellectual multimedia collages. I channel the information as it comes to me to create the works. The artwork activates the viewer through immersive healing installations. I have an upcoming show during Upstate Art Week at the private New York estate of John Hersey, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Hiroshima.

The reason I have been successful is that people feel comfortable being fully themselves around me, even within a space that isn’t always tangible. People are drawn to my work because I experience and process life on a more sensorial and perceptive level — able to recognize patterns, dynamics, and opportunities before they fully come into focus for others, and translate that in a way that feels clear, grounded and easy to engage with. I’m also a risk taker.  Plus, I am a huge believer in attention to detail. The long-term goal is to have Vittoria Regia spaces across the world. I am looking to own my own spaces and chateaus, hopefully around 4 or 5, where each one will have an established energy and vibration. I imagine a series of elemental houses – water, fire, earth and air – plus a fifth that unites them.

I am a no fear person, which sometimes can be challenging in terms of garnering interest and believers in your work. Sometimes you do feel like you’re the only one. But once you push through and start succeeding, your closest people start to buy in and realize your vision works.

What is your idea of succeeding?

From a financial standpoint, to be able to make enough to cover your personal lifestyle and be at peace. In a larger picture sense, getting to a place where you are doing things for you, and not for other people. It's a freeing place to be in. 

I am a workaholic, so I spend a lot of time usually planning events for Vittoria Regia or creating products, services and sessions with private clients. I also love to travel for myself. I need to immerse myself in new environments every couple of months. I process information extremely quickly, so I constantly need new and fulfilling experiences. The rest of the time, I am in Millbrook, New York, where I live with my boyfriend/partner. We enjoy nature, cooking and hosting friends for cocktails in the Hudson Valley.

What is your favorite part of your work?
In terms of events, when I see it in my mind and then witness all the pieces come together and it lands just as I envisioned it. When it comes to private clients, being able to help people and witnessing my clients level up. Helping entrepreneurial clients launch a new business, for example, or empowering them to take the necessary steps to successfully achieve their goals.

I tap into my energetic connections and ask for advice. I receive downloads that help inform my problem-solving. I have to recognize when to let go of the ego and take a step back to look at things from a different perspective. Even if the final product has evolved from what I originally imagined, it can still achieve the vibe I want.

How did Ransom Everglades prepare you for your future?
RE helped me with my confidence. Being raised and educated around people of different walks of life helped elevate me to a place where I can be confident in my own skin.  Having worked with top CEOs, socially, I feel comfortable in any type of situation. Around folks who may generally be considered “intimidating,” for me, it feels like a regular Tuesday. 

I remember Outward Bound, enjoying parties with my friends, chilling on the senior deck and eating Cheetos for breakfast. 

Ms. Mendoza at the middle school was like one of my best friends and confidants. Andy deAngulo, the swim coach, even though I wasn't a swimmer, my friends were, and we could always go to him for advice and chats. Finally, the dark room photography elective with Sheila de Lamos had a lot of great memories. Oh, and the nurse was amazing.

#41 Dave Matthews, old school ’90s R&B, Counting Crows, Tiesto/ATB type trance and the Power 96 hits.

The biggest thing I can suggest is, if you have the ability to, get out of your comfort zone and leave Miami and just distance yourself for a period of time. After immersing yourself in other experiences, people, walks of life and cultures, you come back having learned how to love and understand more. Your bond will also be deeper with the people you come back to because your capacity to love has expanded.

Additionally, morning routines are huge. If you can rebuild yourself every morning, then no matter what happens the day before, you can pick yourself up and move forward. Make your morning consistent, and it will help you recalibrate.
