Lilian Gutierrez ~ F.O.L.W Founder

HOW F.O.L.W GOT STARTED

As a global sales leader and trusted advisor, I was definitely familiar with the fluctuating levels of stress, working on auto pilot,  and feeling overwhelmed coping with the everyday pressures of life.  I often tried finding innovative ways to alleviate the symptoms of stress, but

struggled to maintain a consistent balance from the over scheduling business world.  Just like many other high-performing women experience in their daily lives.  A pivotal moment for me led to self neglect and ignoring the cues my body was trying to convey when my nervous system felt restless until, it gradually started affecting my health.  Every day, we continue to compromise our wellbeing because we don’t

allow ourselves to slow down to better self-care with all the distractions that make us feel inundated.  I felt determined to make the necessary changes I longed for myself, worked towards releasing my old ways of thinking, started nurturing better so I can work smarter, and focused on my wellness path.

MY PERSONAL TANSFORMATION & BACKGROUND

 During the pandemic period in history, I used the time to consciously recenter back to "Self" and slowed down from my business travels 

to focus on my purpose to create a more satisfying work life blend.  I seeked a holistic way of living to learn different modalities, remedies on how to better introspect with care for my wellbeing.  I felt it was necessary for me and also empowering to support others struggling with stress management find ways one can reset to sustain greater work performance, and uphold energy for more leisure activities.  This is something many struggle with day to day because we are not taught to pause, breathe, and do more self cultivation.  I firmly believe the emphasis on 'wellness' is essential and can further impact other professionals in their leadership roles to reflect, purge old patterns, habits, and rehabilitate themselves so they can thrive and live well.

I’ve always had a fond interest and curiosity towards wellness along with a wanderlust spirit for travel and tourism.  I've spent most of my professional career in the hospitality industry and in my last role as Global Sales Director I managed the sales growth and business development of several luxury and independent hotel brands such as: Taj Hotels, Trump Hotels, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Hilton Hotels.  I forged many strong relationships with various corporations, senior executives, destination management companies, and airline partners.  Also worked closely with a vast network of consumers spanning across various industries and luxury travel community of travel specialists, independent contractors and agencies building global partnership experiences.  My personal goal is to continue to bridge health and wellness with transformational travel experiences.
