Why Veleta?
Miss Veleta was my Grandmother. A woman so special to me and full of vitality right into her 90’s. She brought light, life, laughter, love, joy, longevity and vitality. She was energetic, humorous and vibrant, yet also thoughtful and relaxed. My Grandmother had a special love for Jamaica and so do I. I am delighted to share the beautiful offer of Veleta Vitality Retreat in the land of my grandmother’s birth.
VELETA = Voice, Ease, Love, Elevate, Truth, Action
