Travel Well, Arrive Radiant: The Wellness Woman's Guide to Holistic Travel Prep
This one is for wormen like me.
A wanderlust-hearted woman who chases purpose across borders.
And nothing dims the glow faster than feeling run down when you land. Whether you're off for a dreamy European summer, a soul-renewing yoga escape in Thailand, or a business trip with a side of pleasure—wellness isn’t something to pack last. It’s your first-class ticket to energy, ease, and elegance throughout the journey.
Here's how to travel like the vibrant, well-nourished woman you are—from takeoff to touchdown.
Before You Travel: Prepare Your Body Like a VIP
The best trips start before your suitcase is even zipped. Give your body the support it needs to handle time zones, airport air, and the break in routine.
1. Hydrate like it’s your full-time job.
Start upping your water intake 72 hours before takeoff. Add a pinch of mineral salt or a drop of lemon oil for trace electrolytes and detox support.
2. Strengthen your cellular health.
A daily foundation of supplements can be your secret weapon—think antioxidants, omegas, and micronutrients to support your immune system, digestion, and energy production. I never board without my full daily dose of foundational supplements + collagen for skin and joint love (especially on long-haul flights).
3. Support your sleep in advance.
If you’re changing time zones, start adjusting your bedtime by 30–60 minutes a few days ahead. Use calming essential oils like Lavender, Cedarwood, or Vetiver in a diffuser or rolled onto your pulse points for natural wind-down.
Bonus Routine:
- Diffuse a mind soothing blend or roll it on your wrists while packing—it’s the ultimate oil for calm clarity. Ask me for my faves!
- Start dry brushing and taking magnesium baths nightly for lymphatic flow and deep sleep.
While You Travel: Stay Grounded, Fresh, and Radiant
You're in motion, but your energy doesn’t have to be scattered. Here's how to travel well with holistic intention.
1. Create a personal wellness bubble on board.
Pack a travel-sized diffuser for hotel rooms or use a portable personal inhaler with grounding oils like Frankincense, Peppermint, or Wild Orange.
Roll on a digestive blend for bloating and stomach tension during flights.
2. Keep moving—even in tight spaces.
Stretch at the airport gate, take walking breaks during the flight, and use a tennis ball to roll out your feet and glutes. Movement keeps your lymph system flowing and helps prevent jet lag.
3. Stay nourished, not inflamed.
Bring your own snacks—think raw nuts, dried berries, protein packets, and herbal teas. Avoid processed airplane food, sugar, and excess caffeine which deplete your adrenals.

When You Arrive: Reset, Recharge, and Glow
Landing well isn’t luck—it’s your post-flight ritual.
1. Ground into your new location.
Take off your shoes and walk on natural earth—grass, sand, soil. Sunlight on your face first thing in the morning helps reset your circadian rhythm.
2. Skip the nap.
Unless you arrive late at night, stay awake until local bedtime. Use energizing oils like citrus, mint, or a blend with Basil and Rosemary to stay alert and sharp.
3. Nourish before you explore.
Start with a nutrient-dense meal and your regular supplements. If digestion feels sluggish, use a drop of ginger or fennel oil in warm water or rub digestive oils over your belly.
4. Activate your body.
A gentle yoga flow, hotel room stretching, or a brisk walk through the city helps beat stiffness and bloating.
5. Create a night routine, even in a new country.
Pack your favorite calming oils, magnesium, and journal. Just because you're away doesn’t mean your wellness rituals should take a vacation.
Wellness Is Your Most Luxurious Travel Companion
You can travel beautifully and feel amazing doing it. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence, intention, and simple rituals that keep you in your glow.
So before you jet-set again, ask yourself:
How do I want to feel in my body and mind when I land?
And what would it look like to arrive with full-body YES energy?
✨Pack your oils. Drink your water. Move your body. Nourish your soul.
You’re not just going places—you’re becoming more of who you are, wherever you land. ✨
