Meet the Team

At LH Adventure Travel, we believe travel has the power to reconnect us—to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.

Through movement, nourishing food, rest, and meaningful experiences in nature and diverse cultures, we create space to feel more alive, present, and in tune with what matters most.

We’re guided by the transformative power of awe—those breathtaking moments that shift perspective and open possibility.

And most of all, we believe in the magic that unfolds when open-hearted women come together to share beauty, joy, and meaningful connection

FOUNDER & HOST Stacey Funt, MD, NBC-HWC

Stacey is a physician, Lifestyle Medicine educator, certified health coach, wife, mom to amazing twins, and lifelong global traveler who believes that meaningful adventure can transform us—body, mind, and spirit. She merged her deepest passions to create LH Adventure Travel.

Stacey personally travels to each destination to scout routes, connect with local outfitters, and shape experiences that feel both intentional and vibrant. She loves building, creating, and connecting—and LH Adventure Travel is the fullest expression of that joy.

Whether hiking in the Sacred Valley or kayaking through desert canyons, Stacey’s mission is to create wellness adventures that leave women feeling renewed, inspired, and fully alive.

HOST Anna Yoo, MD

Empty nesting opened up a new chapter of adventure for Anna, a seasoned psychiatrist with a passion for meaningful travel and cross-cultural connection. During her years in academic medicine, she helped popularize the concept of cultural humility—a value she continues to carry with her as she explores the world with curiosity and care.

Whether she’s hiking in the mountains, learning from local healing traditions, or simply savoring a meal with new friends, Anna travels with intention and vitality. With over 25 years of experience helping others navigate life’s complexities, she brings deep empathy, insight, and a joyful spirit to every journey.

Anna is also a lover of the art of travel itself and an expert in travel rewards programs. She’s thrilled to host adventures that invite other women to experience the richness, beauty, and awe the world has to offer.

HOST Marissa De Freese, MD

Marissa is a trauma surgeon, medical educator, and lifelong advocate for healthy living. A former Division I All-American in track and field, she continues to find joy in running, staying active, and weaving the principles of lifestyle medicine into everyday life.

Outside the hospital, Marissa loves international travel, caring for animals, tending to her orchids, and spending time with her four kids. Her approach to wellness is both personal and professional—blending clinical insight with a deep commitment to balance and vitality.

After joining an LH Adventure Travel trip in Guatemala, Marissa was moved by the power of connection, community, and shared adventure among women. She’s thrilled to return as a host, creating space for others to unplug, recharge, and share in meaningful adventure

HOST Maria Campese, JD

Fueled by the same passion that’s carried her through multiple Ironmans, Maria is an experienced global adventure traveler and triathlon coach. But it’s her genuine warmth, calm presence, and authentic smile that make her such a joy to be with. Thoughtful, attentive, and supportive, she’s someone people naturally feel comfortable around.

When she’s not helping others chart new paths, Maria leads a thriving professional life as managing partner of a law firm. She was part of Stacey’s very first women’s wellness adventure and is now thrilled to be hosting trips that weave together mindful movement, cultural immersion, and meaningful connection.
