Welcome to Palm Springs in the Coachella Valley. I look forward to guiding you to the vast array of experiences you can encounter during your visit. We have a broad expanse of exciting dining establishments as well as many artistic and cultural locations and events. Your curiosity is your guide to creating an enlightening adventure.

Palm Springs and the surrounding area have a myriad of culture, plays, live music, film festivals, golf courses, pickleball and tennis courts. Embrace wellness by soaking in hot mineral springs, indulging in a spa treatment or partaking in a sound bath. Whether vintage is your passion or distinctive designer fashion speaks to you, I can guide you with suggestions.

Photo ops abound... outdoor public art, waterfalls, mid-century and celebrity homes, Bighorn sheep, and snowcapped mountains, also don’t forget the speedy roadrunners.

Allow me to curate a desert experience that nourishes your soul. I can’t wait to meet you!
