Hi — I’m so happy you’re here!

My name is Patty, and I am from Michigan. I ‘m a traveler, yogi, writer, and believer that life is meant to be experienced fully. Over the past three years, I’ve spent time traveling the world, hosting group trips, volunteering, and learning so much about myself along the way.

When I first started traveling, I had no idea what I wanted to do with “the rest of my life”. What I did know was that I had discovered a new sense of freedom, happiness, and connection that I wanted to share with others. I dreamed of creating something that combined my passions into a purpose-driven project — and that dream became Emagine Wellness.

As I traveled through places like Bali, Australia, and Hawaiʻi, Emagine Wellness slowly began to come together through the experiences, lessons, and inspiration I collected along the way. But at its core, Emagine Wellness is rooted in memory of my best friend, Ella Page.

Ella and I met in 2022 while studying abroad in Athens, Greece, and we instantly became best friends. We bonded over wellness, life goals, and our belief in each other. We were both student athletes, dreamers, and accountability partners who constantly encouraged one another to chase the lives we imagined.

Whenever we would come up with a new idea or dream, Ella’s response was always simple: “Imagine.” That one word became something so meaningful to me that I decided to make it our own — changing the “I” to an “E” in honor of Ella and the dreams we always imagined together.

Ella and I were long distance friends, but her mom gave us the idea to share daily gratitudes. We would send each other 3-5 things we were grateful for every single day. That practice became one of the most meaningful parts of our friendship — a reminder to appreciate the little moments and stay connected though life’s changes.

On 2/22/23, I received the news that Ella had passed away. Ella was the most confident, joyful, and passionate person I have ever known. She had a love for life that inspired everyone around her, and her friendship taught me the importance of connection, gratitude, and truly experiencing the moments we are given.

I want Emagine Wellness to carry forward the love, energy, and dreams that Ella brought into this world.

In honor of Ella and all those we’ve lost too soon, Emagine Wellness is committed to creating spaces of connection, compassion, and support for mental health.

We are all living this life for the first time. There’s no perfect path, and there is no right or wrong way to experience your journey. It is more than okay to make mistakes, change directions, and discover yourself along the way.

For my fellow adventure seekers — I know what it feels to want to experience everything. To feel overwhelmed choosing between, backpacking Southeast Asia, volunteering in Africa, scuba diving in Thailand, au pairing in Australia, and skydiving in Hawai’i. But the greatest privilege is learning that you don’t have to choose just one dream.

After losing Ella on the same day I had my interview to volunteer in Hawai’i, I knew that I had more life to live — for the both of us.

Ella’s life and the love she shared continue to inspire the mission behind Emagine Wellness. Through travel consultations, yoga classes, wellness retreats, and intentional experiences, my goal is to cultivate a community where people feel connected, supported, and reminded that they are never alone.

Adventure is out there, and the dreams placed in your heart are there for a reason.

Welcome to Emagine Wellness :)
