Maria Garrido’s Post

This week brought the loveliest surprise 😏— I discovered that I’m the cover muse for the 2026 World Spa & Wellness Convention in London. 🤩 Stepping onto the stage as #keynotespeaker at this event earlier this year was a first for me. Even though I had major #impostor syndrome, I was so warmly welcomed by everyone I met that I walked away inspired by the conversations, the energy and knowledge in the room, and the kindness of this community. I also remember a few immersive and fun massage chair experiences thanks to Gharieni Group that left me super relaxed, and thinking, “Wow, what a privilege to be part of this event!” So it feels a little surreal… and a bit funny to represent such a distinguished community of industry titans. (Never in my life did I imagine my face would be used to promote “zen.” Clearly, someone’s been very generous with their Photoshop skills! 😉) I’m truly honored to help represent such an inspiring gathering of people who are making wellness a force for good around the world. Hoping to join you all #ExCeL London in 2026 for more learning, connection, and maybe a few surprises along the way. And I invite anyone who is interested in this fast-paced industry to attend. You won't regret it! Thank you Mark Moloney and Jean-Guy de Gabriac for putting me on the cover. Truly an honour! 🙏 😘 #WorldSpaAndWellness #WSW2026 #WellnessCommunity #SpaIndustry #Gratitude #WellnessLeadership #WellnessJourney #Honored #WellnessProfessionals https://lnkd.in/e-j2v6hP
