When you think of natural, holistic, organic – Palm Beach – may not be what comes to mind. But tucked away amongst the fast cars, luxury resorts and bikini bodies is the Tammy Fender Palm Beach spa; one of the country’s premiere holistic spas. There you’ll find natural, luxury remedies that incorporate Tammy’s organic skincare line, energetic modalities and crystals. (Tip: Make sure to book ahead of time.

And after hearing her story I see immediately where such wisdom and vibrant energy comes from. The well travelled skincare founder opens up whole heartedly about her story, that includes loss and mystery, and explains how an appreciation for nature, animals and people are all components of her gorgeous skincare line. Lina’s energy vibrates through her products, which I cover in an earlier review. But for more on how this Swedish, Pakistani woman hopes to help women rediscover and embrace…
