Back to my regularly scheduled programming in Brookline... but first, a LOT of sunshine, a lot of learning, and plenty of resort research in Punta Cana. ☀️🌴
I recently joined fellow travel advisors at Travel Planners InternationalTravel Planners International invitation-only Advisors on the Rise program in the Dominican Republic. It was such an honor & opportunity to experience a beautiful resort setting firsthand, learn from talented industry colleagues, laugh often, & make wonderful new friends along the way.
I came home with fresh ideas for helping clients plan vacations that feel joyful, seamless, restorative, and truly worth remembering. Travel can offer a needed pause from the pace of everyday life: space to rest, reconnect, explore, celebrate, and make memories with the people we love.

September is Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, and I am especially thankful to be here to raise awareness. As a brain aneurysm survivor, this experience has shaped so much of how I see the world and the work I do. It brought a powerful awareness that life is meant to be lived fully, with room for rest, connection, adventure, and lots of laughter.
In many ways, Chris Upon A Star Travel began there and continues to soar because I learned the hard way that you only live once. I have been honored to help hardworking professionals and families plan vacations that create a strategic pause from important work, so they can return renewed, reinvigorated, and ready to continue making good trouble.
Because you only live once, and your vacation should feel like it. ✨
Whether I am helping people plan a meaningful vacation through Chris Upon A Star Travel or advancing health and well-being through my public health work, it all brings me joy and meaning.
I am also excited to share our newly released podcast episode (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-brookline-health/id1876026105). And, in true public health professional fashion: friends, please get out there and get your flu shot. 💉✨
