May is a certified yoga therapist with over 15 years of experience and the soul behind Gaia Villa, Sevā Seeds Collective, and Maya Mind Body, Inc.
Raised by immigrant parents who ran small businesses, she studied finance and began her career in real estate development before a deeper search for meaning led her toward yoga and holistic wellness. Her own journey of healing transgenerational trauma led her to spend two years studying and teaching across India, Nepal, Thailand, and Singapore.
Experiencing the transformative power of intentional spaces for reflection, healing, and connection inspired her to found a yoga therapy and integrative wellness studio in LA, and later Gaia Villa, a retreat sanctuary in Joshua Tree. Believing these experiences should be accessible to all, she founded Sevā Seeds, a nonprofit with the mission of providing wellness retreats for at-risk youth and the guardians who support them.
Today, service and community are at the heart of her work. Across finance, real estate, wellness, hospitality, and nonprofit leadership, May has come to see business as both practical and energetic, bringing purpose, intuition, service, and strategy into greater alignment.
Brianna's career has never fit neatly into one box. Marketing, movement, wellness, and creating meaningful experiences have all shaped her work and, over time, have become more connected than separate.
For over a decade, she built her career in marketing, brand strategy, and community building, working with leading wellness brands including Oura Ring, Power Plate, and Muse Meditation. Since 2020, she has also led marketing and operations at Gaia Villa, helping it grow into a destination for retreats, trainings, and wellness experiences.
Alongside her marketing career, she's taught yoga for over a decade and led retreats and teacher trainings in Indonesia, Mexico, and Panama. She is also a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP), 500-hour trained yoga teacher, and Mat Pilates instructor.
At the heart of it all is a belief that wellbeing starts from within. Brianna's work is about giving people the tools, knowledge, and experiences to better understand themselves and take an active role in how they feel.
