Laura Krohn, Director of Wellness, Recreation & Retail for Loma de Vida Spa & Wellness at La Cantera Resort & Spa has a profound understanding of wellness services and its potential impact on a community’s well-being. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition Science and a master’s in Public Health which gives her a unique perspective on the world of wellness practices including the science behind the compassionate delivery of spa services.
Krohn continually explores new modalities and science to expand the spa and wellness programming at Loma De Vida. Her research led her to Dr. Sara Oswalt, professor, and chair of the department of public health for the University of Texas at San Antonio. This new partnership seeks to open more community dialogue and access to resources for living your best, most vibrant, life.
The 2021 Speaker Series embraces science-based best practices and education and will be a hybrid of virtual and event gatherings in collaboration with various community organizations who serve the region.
