Your Host
Hi, I'm Stacey Funt, a physician, certified health coach, and lifelong global adventure traveler. I first visited Antigua, Guatemala over 25 years ago and was immediately taken by its cobblestone streets, garden oases behind beautifully carved wooden doors, and charming rooftop restaurants with views of the volcanos. The authentic atmosphere, focus on organic farming, and rich culture has lured me back many times since.
When I started my tour company focusing on women's wellness adventures, I knew Guatemala would be one of my destinations and witnessing each guest fall in love with it has been incredibly rewarding. Our active itinerary with time for relaxation aligns perfectly with our self-care theme.I personally research and design each of my itineraries to capture the essence of extraordinary destinations while incorporating Lifestyle Medicine principles: movement, community, whole foods, and stress reduction. If this resonates with you, join me and other remarkable women to share this magical journey together.
