Hello! I'm a mission-driven leader and multi-passionate entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience in creating strong brands in diverse fields including wellness, wine, food and beauty. Now, as a fractional Director of Marketing, it’s my goal to bring that same entrepreneurial mindset and ability to pivot to your business.

Where has my entrepreneurial journey taken me? My first business, Bliss Flow Yoga, launched on a shoestring in 2005 with a dream to create a warm, welcoming place where you could come for a class and stay for a cup of tea with friends. Over the course of the next decade —and with a lot of hard work — it grew into a thriving membership-based business and community mainstay.

As the daughter of two chefs, I grew up in the restaurant business, helping out in my family’s fine dining restaurant at an early age. In 2010 I followed my passion for wine to Sonoma where I got my hands dirty learning how to crush grapes and eventually earning my Certified Sommelier. My work fusing two of my passions, wine and yoga, was featured in the New York Times, Food & Wine Magazine, Wine Spectator and more. I’ve also led marketing for several local wineries, including Nicolas-Jay and Van Duzer Vineyards here in Oregon.

My latest venture, Lola Arnao Beauty launched in 2022. Our mission is to help clean up plastic in the beauty industry while changing the way people care for sensitive skin.

I’ve worked in a variety of industries — and the diverse experiences I’ve had have also taught me to think outside the box when it comes to marketing. Most importantly, I believe that businesses with a strong and meaningful purpose at their heart are the future!

I currently live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon with my horses, Espresso and Romeo. In my downtime, you’ll find me discovering new indie wineries, rolling out my yoga mat or digging in the dirt on our small farm.
