JOURNEYS OF HEALING

Stories of transformation through travel and holistic practices.

Journeys of Healing is a short story blog series co-created by Synergy’s global community of wellness travel leaders. These inspiring stories highlight the power of travel and holistic practices in overcoming life’s challenges, finding balance and embracing a renewed sense of well-being. Discover the wisdom, experiences and wellness tips from those who have walked the path of healing — so that you, too, may find inspiration on your own journey of healing. 

I tasted yoga’s power in every part of me, not just physically but as an age-old philosophy of being. It was an absolute revelation, and I was hungry for more.

MEET THE EDITOR

Tamara Rothbart is an award-winning former lifestyle journalist from South Africa who spent over 20 years writing and editing for top magazines including Elle, Marie Claire, Oprah, and Men’s Health. Her work gave her deep insight into the worlds of luxury, wellness, and travel, but her true passion lies in storytelling. Known for her empathy and ability to capture authentic voices, she is now a sought-after ghostwriter and editor. Tamara calls herself a “collector of treasures,” believing that stories are what truly remain after we’re gone—our lasting legacy in the hearts and minds of others.

Healing is not linear or solitary; it’s a collective experience of shared stories, struggles, and breakthroughs.
— Letizia Silvestri
