Meet Elaine Dos Santos | Mindfulness and Wellness Leader

We had the good fortune of connecting with Elaine Dos Santos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elaine, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process was very intentional.

I saw how so many people were living in a constant state of hurry, disconnection, and stress, and I knew that wellness, mindfulness and community are the foundation of a meaningful life.

Starting my own business was about creating a movement, not just a brand.

For me, it began with meditation, journaling, and neuroscience-backed practices that transformed my own life.

I wanted to curate these tools into experiences that people could integrate into their daily routines, especially in communities like Miami, where I am deeply committed to positioning the city as a Blue Zone, a place where longevity, wellness, and mindful living are the standard.

My business is the bridge between well being and purpose. It’s about showing people that true success is not just financial or material, but living with alignment, vitality, and intention.

That was my vision from the beginning: to curate wellness at the highest level, while inspiring people to transform their lives from the inside out.”

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

“My business, *My Journey*, was born from a very personal calling, to make mindfulness, journaling, and meditation accessible in a way that feels both elevated and deeply transformative. What sets us apart is the marriage between **science and soul**: everything I create, from guided meditations to mindful journals, is rooted in neuroscience and proven wellness practices, yet designed with elegance and intentionality so people feel inspired to use them daily.

I am most proud of the community we’ve built. Watching people transform their lives, finding clarity, healing, and alignment through practices we’ve shared, is the greatest achievement. Business-wise, it was not easy. Like any entrepreneur, I faced skepticism, financial risks, and moments of doubt. But I overcame challenges by staying grounded in my practices: meditation gave me clarity, journaling gave me perspective, and gratitude kept me moving forward.

The lessons have been many, but the greatest one is that **resilience is built when purpose is bigger than fear**. Every obstacle became an initiation, pushing me to refine the brand and grow stronger in my vision.

What I want the world to know is this: *My Journey* is not just a company, it’s a movement. It’s about creating a life of intention, where wellness is not an afterthought but the foundation. My story is proof that with alignment, persistence, and faith, we can build something that not only sustains us but elevates others. That is what excites me most, knowing that this is only the beginning.”

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were visiting Miami, I would curate an itinerary that blends wellness, elegance, and the unique vibrancy of this city.

We would begin mornings with sunrise yoga and meditation at South Pointe Park, overlooking the ocean. Nothing compares to starting the day with that view and fresh sea air. Afterward, we’d stop for a nourishing breakfast at one of Miami’s healthy hotspots like Pura Vida or Avo Miami in Sunset Harbour.

Throughout the week, I’d take them to explore Miami’s luxury yoga and wellness studios such as Mimi Yoga and Jet Set Pilates.

From mindful flows to sound healing sessions in Equinox South Beach.

Afternoons would be for balancing wellness with leisure: strolling through the Miami Design District for art and fashion, and enjoying clean, elevated cuisine at restaurants like Michael’s Genuine or KYU in Wynwood.

Of course, we’d dedicate time to the ocean: mindful beach walks, and even sunset meditations by the water.

Evenings could include dinners at refined spots such as Mandolin Aegean Bistro or Mika in Coral Gables, where the ambiance is as nourishing as the food.

What makes Miami so special is the community: the incredible people drawn here for wellness, art, and conscious living.

I’d make sure my friend experienced gatherings with fellow wellness leaders, healers, and entrepreneurs, because these connections are the true heartbeat of the city.

By the end of the week, they’d leave not only having experienced Miami’s beauty, but also its spirit, a place where mindfulness and wellness coexist, and every moment has the potential to be deeply transformative.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely! No journey is ever walked alone.

While I’ve dedicated my life to mindfulness and wellness,

I stand on the shoulders of those who poured wisdom and love into me.
First, I would dedicate my shoutout to my friend Jeanette Rios, the founder of Sacred Sisters, her encouragement and grounding presence remind me daily of what truly matters.

Also Cristina Ortega, she has been a guiding force, embodying authenticity, community, and the true spirit of mindful living.

I also honor the teachers, both spiritual and scientific, who have shaped my path: from ancient traditions of meditation to modern neuroscience pioneers who have proven how profoundly the mind can transform our lives.

I must also recognize the incredible women in my community who walk this path with me, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and mothers, all of whom inspire me to keep creating spaces of healing and alignment.

And finally, I dedicate this to my readers and students. Every time someone picks up My Journey or joins one of my guided meditations, they are not just transforming themselves, they are contributing to a greater movement of conscious living. Their trust and commitment are what fuel me to keep expanding this work.
