As the featured Specialist in the May chapter of Miraval's new book Mindful Living, we asked Junelle to share more about her passions outside of nutrition. We hope you enjoy!

Miraval: Where are you from?

JL: A small iron mining town outside of Lake Placid. I've been at Miraval for 6 years!

Miraval: What is your favorite food?

JL: Raw chocolate

Miraval: Where is your favorite place to travel? Why?

JL: The beach. I don't idle very well, except at the beach. The beach reminds me of how valuable doing absolutely nothing is for my head, body, and spirit.
