Linden Schaffer of Pravassa

Early on in my glamorous (and painfully fast-paced) fashion
career, I realized the way I worked was turning me into a tightly
wound little ball of stress and tension. So before every business
trip I conducted hours of research planning for self-care in my
few precious hours of downtime. It changed my life!


Today, as a wellness travel expert and consultant, I lead
travelers around the world on wellness tours with Pravassa.
Creating group and individualized itineraries for the people and
companies that are looking to restore productivity and creativity
is my passion. Since having founded Pravassa, the first wellness
travel company in 2009, I have been a winner of the prestigious
British Airways Face of Opportunity contest. I contribute to
columns in The Huffington Post and MindBodyGreen where I write
about wellness travel and lifestyle. I am also a regular speaker
at conferences around the country including the New York Times
and Los Angeles Times travel shows and have participated in
international conferences in Colombia, India, and Spain in order
to bring wellness travel opportunities to these countries. When
not is not traveling the world, I am based in New York City.
