A Carmel Valley resident by way of Queensland, Australia, Rachel Steenland turned her passion for photography and food into a full-time business thanks to the power of social media. A proponent of plant-based living, Steenland uses her Instagram (@thegardenparty.official) and newly rebranded website, Garden Party, to share her delicious vegan recipes with others. "Wellness is about approaching life holistically,” says the creative, who has collaborated with brands including Silk, OSEA Malibu and Senreve. "It includes focusing on physical and mental health, plus quality sleep and balanced eating.” Up next, Steenland and her husband will head to northern Europe to see the incredible aurora borealis and explore new plant-based dining destinations. Dreamy!

As the chief operations officer for The Chopra Foundation—wellness guru Deepak Chopra's organization focused on the education, research, and healing of the mind and body—Justin S. Nahama has learned how to live well from one of the world's foremost leaders. A military veteran, Nahama practiced law for a decade before joining Chopra's elite team, for which he plans longevity retreats around the world. "I'm incredibly excited to be designing the well-being center and retreat protocol for one of the newest premier luxury resorts in the U.S. called Ameyalli, opening in early 2024. Just outside of Park City, our Chopra team is infusing Ameyalli's community with the most impactful well-being and healing practices from around the world,” says Nahama. When he's not changing the world alongside Chopra, he's making waves as the founder of The Veteran Fund, a venture capital firm investing in veteran-led tech companies, and NuroLux, a fellow tech company focused on families affected by autism. Talk about well-rounded.
