OWNER & FOUNDER
Lorin Parrish has followed a lifelong passion for the healing arts, nutrition, the environment and well being. After years of working & living abroad, Lorin settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1982. Lorin grew up in southern California with a creative passion that became her driving force in everything she did. At 16 she moved to Hawaii to attend high school and live with her brother Tom. In Hawaii, she was first introduced to yoga, vegetarian cooking and lifestyle, eastern philosophy, and pipeline surfing.
Lorin holds degrees in Philosophy and Art from Colorado State University and a MFA from the University of San Francisco. Moving back to Hawaii after college, she assisted her brother with Quiksilver, an up and coming surf wear company at the time, and through her brother became involved in Oahu’s surf culture. Searching for more, she traveled throughout Southeast Asia, living in various monasteries, pursuing meditation and spiritual practice with such teachers and the Dalai Lama, Sri Sri Anandamayima, Munindraji, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Mother Krishnabai. In 1984 she assumed directorship of the Director at New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts where she developed seven diploma programs in bodywork that has made the Academy one of the most renowned schools of healing in the country.
Her latest business endeavor BODY, began in 2004 as an inspiration to create a new paradigm in business by establishing a place for people from all walks of life to gather and share in a diverse community center where everyone wins.
