Sonya Gordon - Founder
I didn’t simply stumble into creating Manifest Wellness Spa—it was the natural progression of my life’s journey. My personal experience with the transformative power of the EESystem inspired me to share its benefits with others, leading me to create a sanctuary of healing and wellness.
Along the way, I have cultivated a diverse skill set as an Esthetician, Massage Therapist, and Certified Natural Health and Lifestyle professional. Most recently, I became a certified Bio-Well Energy Consultant, allowing me to further enhance the well-being and success of our clients. My international experience in the UK and the Caribbean has shaped my path, reinforcing my commitment to helping others achieve optimal health, balance, and transformation.
Manifest Wellness Spa is the culmination of my experiences, designed with intention and care—built from my heart to yours.
