Jessica Cichra, Owner, CEO, Instructor, Race Director:
Biography:
With a degree in psychology and interest in helping people achieve mental wellness combined with a background in physical fitness as an instructor and personal trainer, I started my own business: Wave of Wellness was born with a mission to expose clients to fun lifestyle activities that enhance all areas of well-being, with a focus on SUP and yoga.
Through an intense study and practice of Body Dialogue yoga my chronic back pain was healed. Excited to share my success with others I currently use its principles of postural alignment, core-stabilization, breath and energy direction, as a unique platform for instructing SUP, yoga, and Bala Tula – a yoga fusion program I developed in 2010.
Deeply involved in the SUP racing circuit as an athlete and wanting to build the local paddle racing community I founded and direct the Annual Lake Mary Jane Paddle Race in 2012 and the original Florida weekly race series Paddle Race Tuesdays in 2013.
My love for adventure and travel inspired me to take my instruction abroad, teaching national and international SUP Yoga and Bala Tula clinics as well as organizing and facilitating international SUP and yoga retreats where I offer clients the ultimate experience of adventure, inner peace, personal growth, physical fitness, and community.
My involvement and lifestyle in the SUP and yoga industry has given me the opportunity to contribute written articles and instructional videos to Stand Up Journal, Boarders Magazine, Samata Magazine, Women’s Health Magazine Mexico, Distressed Mullet, and Yoga Digest, and be a proud brand ambassador for:
• prAna
• Werner Paddles
• Local Honey Designs

With the experience and knowledge gained from earning the following certifications I’ve created an adaptive teaching style to custom fit the needs of my clients:
• CPT, Certified Personal Trainer
• WSUPA ASI Certified Stand Up Paddleboard Instructor
• E-RYT, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher
• Certified Prenatal Yoga Instructor
• Certified in Yoga Postures & Adjustments
• Certified in Yoga Therapy for Children with Autism & Special Needs
• Certified Pilates Instructor

    Why Maui?
    Maui has more than earned its reputation as No Ka Oi (The Best). Here’s why: the island has the most natural diversity, with the highest concentration and variety of exotic Hawaiian landscapes. This includes white, black, and red sand beaches; jungles, rainforests, high mountains, lavascapes, and more within 17 climate zones (no, that’s not a typo!) …and most of it is accessible! Essentially, Maui is like taking all the Hawaiian Islands and throwing them in a blender, making it ideal for a first-time visit to the islands or for repeat offenders. There is so much vibrant color with stunning and rare varieties of flowers and flowering trees that thrive here, the consistent presence of rainbow prisms across the sky, and the bluest blue of the Pacific.
    And we’ve yet to touch on it’s richness in Polynesian culture and tradition, abundance of marine life (who doesn’t love the adorable green sea turtle?), and mouthwatering cuisine. Don’t be shy, it’s okay to daydream about the buttery smooth Maui avocados, sweet and aromatic mangoes, organic produce, free-range meats, and ‘oh-so-fresh’ seafood that Maui offers island-style foodies and culinary enthusiasts. It’s no wonder that Maui attracts visitors from all over the world and has been voted "Best Island in the U.S." by Condé Nast Traveler readers for more than 20 years.

    Your Guide:
    "I have been traveling to Hawaii since 2005, when I took a summer job after college. The natural beauty, lifestyle, and culture stole my heart and 3 months turned into a life-changing 2 years. I worked as a tropical flower farmer and in my free time I hiked, snorkeled, and SCUBA’d every inch of this incredible dot in the Pacific. As an avid traveler, who’s explored many places, I can testify that Maui is something special, a spiritual destination that will fill your soul. It’s what keeps pulling me back and why I’ve chosen to develop an adventure here for like-minded people. Our journey elevates well being and consciousness and that’s why we do it again and again, in the spirit of L-I-V-I-N!." - Jessica Cichra, your experienced guide and certified instructor. She has led many adventure travel trips domestically and internationally since 2012.

    Why Choose Wave of Wellness?:
    We cater to guests who don’t have the time/desire to organize a fully planned vacation; who want the most bang for their buck and best value for their time; an experience that enhances all areas of well being; and a supportive group of (vetted) like-minded travelers to learn from, be inspired by, and make lifelong memories with. We carefully craft the schedule to ensure you’re getting the most out your time, the least crowds, and ideal conditions. We hand select each activity, guide, and chefs/restaurants so you can be confident you’re getting the crème de la crème of the area and the experiences it offers. We’ve developed strong relationships with our vendors and may therefore offer you VIP treatment at a better price than if you pieced it together yourself. We design every life-affirming adventure to empower our guests; facilitate growth and connection to nature, community, and self; and to leave feeling soul-full.

    We are travelers, not tourists - and our trips are designed with this intention in mind. Travel evokes open mindedness and cultivates growth. We give back to, respect, and learn from the beings and places we visit, adapting to their culture instead of trying to force our own. And our small group environment fosters non-judgement, support, and builds deep bonds of connection.
