We had the good fortune of connecting with Pamela Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Pamela, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
It’s been said to create what you wished existed in the world. For me I wanted one go-to source where I could go to find out about all the best Wellness Destinations, Healthy Eateries, Movement Studios, Local and Sustainable shopping, Biohacking, Sacred Gatherings and Miami’s best Modern Mystics providing everything from Quantum Coaching, Sound Healing, Full Moon Circles and even Tantra.
This never been done before Ultimate Wellness Guide to Miami is my personal curated little black book of the best Miami has to offer in Health and Wellness and I could not be happier to share this with not only our local community but for people visiting as well.
People are looking for Healing and Wellness in these times and this go to resource has over 200 pages of amazing people, places and high-vibrational events in the Magic City.

My Photography work has been featured in Conde Nast Traveler, Yoga Journal, Mantra Magazine, Forbes, Virtuoso Life, Disney Magazine, Ocean Drive, Haute Living and on the Global Fashion Channel.
I am also a certified 200 HOUR Vinyasa Yoga Instructor as well as a certified Yin Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master, Sound Alchemist and creator of The Art of Living Well Mastermind + Desire Map Facilitator.
I have donated my time and photographic expertise to Operation Smile missions in Southeast Asia and NGOs in South Africa working with HIV and woman and children where she also started a yoga program. I have also worked with Matt Damon’s foundation Water.org shooting documentary projects of its work in India.
My body of work is titled “Wanderlust” and is a collection of photographs from over thirty countries on six continents around the world. My passion for connecting with people, immersing myself in world cultures, and travel are guiding forces in my work.
I have always been an entrepreneur and love what I do whether is taking creative photos for major brands, organizing wellness retreats around the world or my latest venture of creating The Ultimate Wellness Guide for Miami I just love creating and never let my fear stop me. I have an idea and I follow thru and love seeing the completion of a beautiful project brought to life.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well this is an easy one seeing as I am just finishing the Ultimate Wellness Guide to Miami! First of all I love so many places it’s hard to choose one itinerary because there could literally be 50 amazing ones I could put together but here is a sample of one amazing day I could suggest…
Start the day with a Beautiful Sound Healing at the Ocean ( Fridays at 7:30 am 2nd and the Ocean on South Beach with Jared Bistrong)
Next I would walk to Lilikoi for a delicious organic breakfast and green juice, then time for Yoga class at Modo or Pilates at Tremble then I would head to Reset for a little Cryo Therapy session.
In the Afternoon I would head to The Standard Spa and soak in a few rays poolside and have a healthy bite at the Lido Grill.
Fridays at 6:30 I would head to Miami Ice Club for a Wim Hof Breathwork session and Ice Bath before heading to a Sacred Community Gathering at Modern Om for the evening. That for me would be a perfect day for me and one of so many I could put together with all the amazing things happening in the wellness space here in Miami!
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?
Well so many have helped me with this project from major brands that have supported me from the beginning of this idea to all the people that I have featured within it’s pages. Everyone has shown so much support and been so gracious with their time from answering my interview questions to preparing their content. It would be impossible to list everyone here but I can say if they are in the Wellness Guide they get more than a little credit for being a part of this first ever Ultimate Wellness Guide to Miami and trusting my vision for it.
I want to also thank my graphic designer, Anna Karelina and my editors, Mona Seltzer and Cyndy Andras for all the work bringing this dream of mine into a reality.
