Gabriela Esquivel, Las Catalinas' Well-Living Developer, was recently interviewed for Well Defined Magazine. Gabriela was instrumental in initiating town’s wellness platform, Well-Living by Las Catalinas where she creates programming to serve our community of like-minded people with the main intention of living a healthier life in a better environment. Residents and visitors alike can partake in activities and services that nurture their well-being at any time of the day, a cornerstone of life in town.
Although her dedication to well-living is clear through her program curation, she also focuses her energy on supporting health and wellness in the community. Gabriela emphasizes the importance of multidimensional wellness, including mindfulness, vitality, and joy, while cherishing life's simplicity.
Gabriela also discusses how she prioritizes her health and well-being. Her personal wellness routine includes sunrise beach walks, mindful cooking, prioritizing sleep, and engaging in movement like weightlifting and hiking. She advocates for nourishing foods and hydration, highlighting the benefits of a colorful salad and water with lemon and Himalayan salt.
Her journey towards wellness empowerment involved taking responsibility for her health, trusting her instincts, and embracing bio-individuality. She values present-moment awareness and consciousness of mortality, guiding her to simplify and enjoy life authentically. Despite her commitment to well-being, Gabriela acknowledges challenges, particularly in aligning her values with life situations and setting boundaries.
