      How I got my job as… Founder of this bespoke multi-wellness space in Dubai

      by

      Welcome to the Emirates Woman weekly series ‘How I got my job as…’ where we speak to some incredible entrepreneurs and businesswomen both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they’d give to those starting out; and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome.
      This week we chat with CEO & Founder of Blended Wellness and Partner & Creative Director, Solutions Leisure Group, Dominique Laird. The group is a pioneer of the approachable dining, nightlife and entertainment scene, creating the moments people live for, from day to night. With brands such as STK, ULA, En Fuego, Asia Asia and more, the portfolio has expanded over the years and it continues to grow.
      The multi-wellness destination, Blended, combines fitness with a host of pampering options, making it a one-stop for all your self-care needs. Founded by Laird, the concept began with her vision to redefine the meaning of beauty standards in the region. She wanted to create a space where individuals can feel at home and focus on improving their own self-care needs. With a more medical approach to aesthetics, this venue offers an extensive array of cutting-edge treatments such as botox, fillers, threads, or even an IV Drip to boost energy levels.
      To delve more into her journey as an entrepreneur, Emirates Woman sat down with Laird to see how it all began.
      What was your favourite subject at school?
      From an early age, I resonated towards ways I could express myself creatively. Whether that be picking up a sketch pad, stitching a Barbie fashion line or choreographing musicals before bedtime. At school, art was the subject I looked forward to, the freedom within the curriculum was unlike math, science and history. It gave room for artistic license, with little to no incorrect answers. I was drawn to opportunities that celebrated individuality, where your work was almost incomparable to others. Art made me happy. Being creative felt natural, it felt easy.
      What was your first job?
      My first work experience was at Toni & Guy. My cousin, Samantha, was head colourist and managed to get me a junior position. I loved working in an environment where the team’s main priority was to make people feel good.Through skill and creativity the team changed people’s mood for the better. Adding value with each swish of a comb.
      What brought you to Dubai?
      Following my passion for creativity and arts, at 16 I moved to London to train in musical theater on a full scholarship. Dancing made me feel alive, without judgment. Expressing emotions through movement felt more natural to me than speech. Classes lead to shows, castings lead to tv and theater. Teaching turned into Contracts, contracts turned into travelling the world and landed me in Spain, Greece and eventually Egypt, where I ran the entertainment for the global music brand, Ministry of sound for Solutions Group. Still wanting to feed my creative need on multiple levels, throughout my career as a performer, I became a professional hair and makeup artist, which gradually combined itself with avant-garde editorial creation and conceptual design for stage and catwalk. I was happily blending all my skills together, building my portfolio with not only performance, but with design and creative direction. My job role today, Group Creative Director of Solutions Group, combines my love of Art, entertainment and design. I am lucky enough to lean on my creative energy to develop concepts, brands, interior design, entertainment, production and all the fun elements in between.

      What inspired you to enter the wellness space?
      Although performing was my passion, it fast-became my downfall. Unobtainable, unsustainable beauty standards became something I very quickly obsessed with. The place where I found the most peace, quickly became a cage of self-hate and disappointment. I was trapped in a very dark place for what seemed like an eternity. After 10 years, both my body and mind were failing to sustain a normal level of daily activity. After accepting the need for change and admitting to myself that I controlled my own happiness, I started the journey of recovery, the same one I walk today. I quickly developed a very good understanding of the importance of self-love and mindfulness. I channeled every ounce of my being into wellness and celebrating individuality in others and myself. Wellness isn’t just a word. It’s a mindset, a lifestyle, an all-encompassing journey that everyone deserves. When the opportunity arose to create a space for people to experience and benefit from multiple aspects of wellness in a single space, I wasn’t going to shy away.
      What are the key elements of your role?
      I don’t have a role within Blended Wellness, I have a goal. I aspire to provide support, knowledge and guidance. To offer experiences and events that inspire and celebrate as many people as physically possible. I aim to provide result driven wellness treatments, services and activities that empower and elevate the mind, body and soul. I want to make a difference to how my guests feel. I want them to know, they are worth it. Every single day.
      Talk us through your daily routine.
      Get up, get dressed, get at it. Every morning starts with a sleepy coffee and a small struggle to prize myself into my gym gear. I work out every day, not only for the physical benefit, but the mental clarity and strength it provides. I don’t negotiate with myself. Mind over matter. Something my partner, Paul, and myself firmly believe in. My days are fast-paced, multilayered and far from straight forward. I am organised chaos, always running towards a deadline, deciphering a 4am idea or juggling a new build project. I split my time between being a very busy Creative Director for Solutions Group with my CEO role for Blended Wellness – both, I absolutely adore.

      What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps?
      Don’t follow in anyone’s footsteps. Your journey is your own. Find your passion, figure out what it is you are truly good at. Everyone has something that lights them up, just figure out what yours is and run with it. Don’t let pride or the fear of failure dictate the direction you walk. Choose your path and stick to it, relentlessly.
      What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
      Speak to yourself with kindness. Treat yourself with respect. Look at your reflection and acknowledge you are one of a kind. Nobody is you.

      And what is the worst?
      I make a conscious decision to forget negative or hurtful advice or opinions. Holding onto words that fail to resonate or benefit me have no place in my mind.
      What has been the biggest challenge you had to overcome?
      Cultivating an acceptance of who I was and how I wanted to feel. Battling through the pain and sadness in order to truly believe I was worthy and deserving of experiencing self love.

      Why Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa should be added to your travel bucket list

      by

      Life

      by Sarah Joseph
      29 mins ago

      We discuss what sets Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa apart and sees its global guests returning each year with General Manager, Mohamed El Aghoury.
      What sets Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa apart?
      Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is situated on a private island in the North Malé Atoll. Just a short speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, the resort offers a perfect tropical escape for families and anyone seeking an island getaway. The resort boasts amazing facilities – including seven restaurants and bars, two sparkling freshwater pools, an orchid garden, a tennis court, and a 24-hour gym. What really sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to family experiences. We have a fantastic Side-by-Side Family Programme that offers unique activities for bonding and creating memories together. From exploring the underwater world to relaxing picnics on nearby islands, we have it all. We are also deeply dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the island and have implemented several eco-initiatives, such as our Adopt A Coral programme, and the use of various sustainable practices. Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa truly captures the essence of a convenient tropical escape, where families can make lifelong memories together.

      The spa focuses on holistic treatments – why is this important?
      Our spa is located on its very own island and is equipped with six luxurious treatment villas, a VIP treatment suite, his-and-her hydrotherapy pools, a relaxation lounge, and a steam room. The spa offers several holistic treatments that range from traditional aromatherapy and ayurvedic massages, to locally inspired deep ocean therapies. This combination of treatments is designed to promote relaxation and improve concentration, providing a truly rejuvenating experience. Our resort also offers the services of an on-site Yoga Practitioner, Dr Abhilash, who leads our comprehensive wellness programme. With his expertise, he not only oversees all wellness activities but also conducts invigorating Yoga and Meditation classes for our guests.
      How important is variety in terms of dining when it comes to an island stay?
      Our resort encourages guests to embark on a culinary journey with its diverse range of dining options, all curated by our talented Chef Riccardo Pinna. Chef Riccardo has designed delicious meal plans that cater to various tastes and occasions. For those favouring the flavours of India, Masala Hut offers a delightful selection that is sure to please any palate. Kakuni Hut brings a taste of the Caribbean to the Maldives, serving expertly prepared Tiki Cocktails. Other dining options include Chopstix, Feast, Baan Thai, Sea Salt, and the lively Anchorage Bar. Our resort also includes a Maldivian Night Buffet featuring authentic Maldivian cuisine with fresh catches of the day. We also have live entertainment, live music and a talented DJ who performs daily at different outlets. Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa also offers Destination Dining. Guests looking for something more extraordinary can opt to enjoy their lunch at our lagoon or have a picnic by the beach. Couples can also enjoy romantic dinners, carefully planned by our team. No matter the preference, our resort ensures an exceptional culinary experience for its guests.

      Sustainability is an important factor at this resort – what practices have been implemented?
      We take sustainability seriously, implementing various practices to protect the environment. One notable initiative is our coral propagation project, where over 6,000 coral fragments from 15 different species have been rescued and transplanted onto coral pyramids, restoring reef habitats and creating new colonies. Guests can participate in the “Adopt A Coral” programme to contribute to this restoration effort. The resort also addresses plastic waste by operating an innovative water bottling plant that purifies seawater using reverse osmosis technology. This eliminates the need for plastic water bottles, as purified water is bottled in reusable glass containers. The resort’s lush island is adorned with diverse plant life, and fallen branches are repurposed for boat building. Our unique outdoor gym is constructed from recycled materials, embodying both sustainability and innovation. With the removal of disposable plastic straws and stirrers, the resort actively reduces its landfill waste. Just recently, we also implemented our very own Chef Garden, allowing us to harvest vegetables and fruits from the island and eliminating the need for transportation from the mainland. Our marine conservation programme is also a result of our partnership with Reefscapers – a coral propagation organisation appointed by the Maldivian Government – to protect the marine habitat and restore the coral reefs of the Maldives. Guests staying at the resort can participate in the ‘Adopt A Coral’ program – a coral fragment plantation initiative that aims to restore reef habitats and produce new coral colonies – alongside our talented on-site marine biologist, Kate Sheridan. The coral propagation programme concept is simple: guests start by attaching small fragments of corals onto a metal frame, allowing corals to mature into new colonies in our lagoon. This improves the marine habitat and increases the number of fish species and marine life in the surrounding areas.

      This is The Summer Escape Issue – where will you be escaping to this summer?
      My family and I will be visiting Greece this year. We are very excited to get together and explore the wonderful country as a family and really cherish our time together. Athens, Santorini, and Meteora are all at the top of my list.

      RAKxa shares how this wellness experience has put Thailand on the wellness map with its holistic treatments and deep detox focus.
      Talk us through the bespoke wellness consultation process you’ve designed for guests.
      Guests can embark on a journey with a three-step assessment that includes a health and wellness consultation session, a functional fitness assessment at RAKxa GAYA, and an in-depth doctor consultation at the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Centre and Traditional Wellness at RAKxa JAI. We place emphasis on addressing the entirety of an individualʼs health by comprehensively examining their medical history to gain a complete understanding of the current health status. Upon completion of the initial consultation, a tailored programme is designed to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident incorporating changes into your daily life. The treatment plan will evolve over time as you progresson your wellness journey. Next, we move onto the Functional Fitness Assessment(FFA) to analyze your daily essential functional movement including strength, mobility, balance, and coordination to guide you to the right treatments, classes, and exercises that suit you best while with us and in your everyday life back home. Then guests will have the chance to consult with an anti-ageing doctor to review all your conditions. Additionally, at the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Centre at RAKxa Wellness, a full repertoire of laboratory tests including complete blood test, hormone panel screening, food intolerance test, micronutrient test, and urine metal test is provided along with online consultation with nutritionists. Our anti-ageing doctors will work collaboratively with the other RAKxa’s traditional therapists with years of experience in practising Ayurveda, Traditional Thai medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to create a fully integrative personalised wellness programme.

      What was the inspiration behind launching RAKxa, the luxury wellness destination?
      We understand that everyone’s health journey is unique and ever-changing. When it comes to individual health, a ‘one size fits all’ treatment will not be as effective as a personalised one where each individual’s health issues are uniquely treated. We are dedicated to being your trusty health guide, offering valuable support to those navigating the complexities of the healthcare system. We are dedicated to healing, sustaining, and preventing – a lasting wellness journey tailored to your unique needs. We embrace an integrative approach as a whole to wellbeing through a combination of health care, therapies, treatments, and wisdom of traditional and modern medicine, along with, nutrition, rest, and taking advantage of their unique healing benefits that complement one another, then integrate them into a healing system or what we call a programme, to deliver synergistic and complementary wellness results, with a more pleasant healing experience. Our brand philosophy states, ‘Health is Wealth’ – Everyone wishes to guard and cherish their health as much as their wealth.
      “We believe that a balance of opposing forces, known as Yin and Yang, is crucial for both the body’s optimal functioning and overall health.”

      The villas are designed to encourage deep rest and reflection. How does the design and layout ensure utmost relaxation?
      The layout and function of the villas are ergonomically designed by doctors to create a safe and comfortable resting space for everyone. The bed’s height is set to no higher than 70cm for comfort, especially for elderly guests or those with back pain and injuries. Natural materials such as hypoallergenic cotton silk bedsheets are chosen, with a choice of six pillow types for our guests to choose from (contour massage, cervical opedic, classic natural latex, buckwheat, companion, and memory foam), all are made from natural materials. The organic selection of amenities made from high-quality natural materials designed by Thai local brands embraces the idea of giving back to the local community. Our rooms are decorated with earthy tones, creating a calm and serene atmosphere. Soft fabrics and blackout curtains are installed throughout the villas so that our guests can enjoy a peaceful and undisturbed night’s rest.
      The RAKxa’s wellness cuisine is centered on ingredients. How does the retreat focus on restoring balance through food?
      We believe that good food is the best medicine. Our food philosophy is rooted in the idea that what we eat can profoundly impact our overall health and wellness. By understanding each of our guest’s unique dietary needs, conditions, and preferences, we could offer a personalised healthy and balanced dietary menu. At the beginning of your programme – our chefs and nutritionists collaborate with doctors and use dietary lab test results to curate personalised menus that meet individual health goals, from optimising gut health for efficient nutrient absorption to striving to minimise and eventually eliminate harmful toxins accumulated in the body. Also, we work with our traditional medicine doctors – we believe that a balance of opposing forces, known as Yin and Yang, is crucial for both the body’s optimal functioning and overall health.

      Science and tradition come together at RAKxa. How are the traditional treatments combined with energy healing practices?
      Energy Medicine at RAKxa Integrative Wellness is a healing practice that is based on the perpetual transmutation of vibrational energy and has been around for centuries. The techniques are cultivated in various cultures and traditions, and our talented guru’s conduct with grace and skill. At RAKxa, we offer unique examples of this methodology from all corners of the world: singing bowls from ancient Tibet, chakra and pranic healing, part of ancient Ayurveda methodology, healing with crystals which date back to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, and Reiki, which originates from Japan. The transformative effects of energy healing help to unleash joy and peace by manipulating brainwaves, enhancing individuals’ chemistry and hormone levels, removing energy stagnation and improving your overall wellbeing. Energy healing can be integrated and treated alongside other medical services, whether it is exercises, physical therapies, or administering medical care such as intravenous vitamin (IV) infusions, because we want everyone to be in good health both inside and out and, importantly, in mind and spirit.

      The property’s medical gym uses technology, functional medicine and the science of movement – what are some of the bespoke exercise routines available?
      Our medical gym at RAKxa Gaya uses a diagnostic approach, drawing upon technology, physiotherapy, sports medicine, and the science of movement to create a personalised exercise. RAKxa’s team of physiotherapists and sports scientist conduct a comprehensive assessment of guests’ body posture, stability, endurance, strength, coordination and balance, as well as everyday movement using state-of-the-art equipment and world-class Olympic Grade Standard machines such as walk-pattern analysis with Gait Analysis, Functional Assessment with Huber, and Neuromuscular reactivation using Redcord Muscle Function Restoration with Red Cord Exercise. Following a thorough assessment, the results are then interpreted by a staff of movement specialists, physiotherapists, and wellness trainers who create custom-made training plans that blend results-oriented, corrective exercises,that are both modern and traditional. Your training programme will be specifically tailored to your conditionsand abilities, as well as your personal wellness goals. Head to Toe Stretch, which is a one-on-one session provided by medical gym staff, is recommended. This passive stretch helps you gently loosen up your physical tension, reduce lactic acid build-up, and improve your range of motion and flexibility.
      The VitalLife provides hyper-personalised treatments – what’s the science behind this technology?
      Our anti-ageing medicine is an array of modern technologies from advanced diagnostic equipment to innovative therapeutic interventions that create hyper-personalised treatments designed to restore and optimise guests’ health and longevity. We strive to provide guests with the highest level of medical standards and care, ensuring they receive the most advanced and tailored anti-ageing solutions in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
