EP106 "Happy For No Reason" Desirée Pais

Desirée's energy is incredibly powerful, from the first moment our paths crossed I could feel she was one of a kind. She does in fact "walk into a room like G*d sent you", because it's true, and oh she knows it. Listen to our fun conversation, where Desirée shares her journey from fashion to wellness, the importance of having mentors in your life, and how everything alings in your life only when you align with your-self. ---- Desirée Pais launched BENSHEN.co in 2017 with the belief that navigating our modern world and creating a life filled with purpose and meaning could be made more seamless by making diverse spiritual practices and integrative well-being inviting, accessible and practical.  The creation is a culmination of Desirée’s curious nature, multifaceted interests, honed design aesthetic and varied professional accolades. After graduating from The Fashion Institute of Technology in 2009 with an Associates Degree in Advertising and Marketing, Desirée went on to work with prestigious fashion labels and media brands including BPCM, Natalie Joos Casting, Refinery29, BlackBook Media, Medium Concepts Showroom and Isaora. While the glamour, beauty and creativity of these positions spoke to her love of ingenuity and artistic expression, Desirée found herself searching for more. In an effort to understand her own body and to reclaim her sense of vitality, Desirée pivoted to focus her attention on physical health, personal wellbeing and multidisciplinary spirituality. Since 2010, Desirée went on to complete three Yoga + Meditation Teacher Trainings in New York + LA as well as a Masters Degree in Science of Acupuncture from the Pacific College of Health and Science.  SOCIAL: IG: @desiree.pais IG: @benshen.co Email: 💌 [email protected] What is your non-negotiable self care routine or habit? Therapy!!! I meet with my mentors once a week. My new thing is also listening to binaural beats before sleep - you can find so many amazing different sounds to listen to for free on YouTube. I love any for deep sleep, calming the nervous system, relaxation.  Benshen Course is avaiable every month!! https://www.benshen.co/benshencourse
