INSPIRATION AND HISTORY Sinnett got inspired to start Magnolia Wellness after moving from L.A. to Orange County. She remembers Los Angeles having an abundance of wellness offerings while Orange County’s community was more scattered. “I wanted to start a wellness center that was a co-op, offering private treatments and classes, where many practitioners would come together to offer events and make the internal work of transformation fun!” She got the sense that Magnolia should be a wellness collaborative in 2017. At the time, she had three girls, the youngest of whom was only one year old. “There was no way that I had the money, the time, or the resources to pull it off. And then it all started falling into my lap—my best friend came forward and invested as a silent partner, the perfect space became available, and it all came together with ease, like a divine puzzle. It opened up a beautiful community of like-minded professionals that continue to thrive.”

HEALING THE HEALER Sinnett commits herself to practicing what she preaches regarding her personal wellness. “I require a lot of alone time, nature, and self- care. The most important factor I allow for myself is fun. I constantly check in with myself and ask, do I want this? Does my body want this? And then trust the answer given to me. The things that worked for me yesterday aren’t necessarily the things that work for me today.” She never diets and never urges clients to diet. “I talk about being present while eating; chewing a lot to help your stomach break down food and ease the burden on your digestion. And avoiding sugar for so many reasons, and drinking water helps 19 different systems in your body.”
