We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Lu Patino a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Lu, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
Leaving a successful corporate career to follow my true purpose was the most significant risk I’ve ever taken.
Despite the financial stability and professional success, I felt unfulfilled and was dealing with health issues and a toxic relationship. Discovering holistic healing practices like yoga, reiki, and sound healing brought clarity and peace, leading me to realize my calling was to help others heal.
Leaving the corporate world was challenging and filled with uncertainty, but the pull toward my purpose was stronger than my fears. I started my wellness business, offering various healing practices and retreats, and it has been incredibly rewarding. Seeing the positive impact on others reaffirmed my decision.
This risk taught me to trust the process, believe in myself, and follow my inner guidance. Today, my wellness business is thriving, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help others on their healing journeys. This experience has shown that the greatest rewards often come from taking the biggest risks and that true fulfillment lies in following your heart.
Lu, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am the founder of “I Am Luv2 All,” a wellness business dedicated to helping individuals achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My journey into this industry began during a particularly chaotic period in my life. Through the struggles, I discovered the transformative power of holistic healing practices like yoga, reiki, and sound healing.
I am a certified yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, animals & pets reiki master, and sound healing facilitator.
I offer a wide range of services, including private yoga sessions, reiki healing, sound baths, wellness retreats, and spiritual workshops. I also teach various styles of yoga and meditation in both one-on-one and group settings.
The main struggles I help solve for my clients include stress, anxiety, physical discomfort, emotional imbalance, and a general sense of disconnection from their true selves. What sets my practice apart is the deeply personalized and holistic approach I take with each individual. My sessions are not just about the techniques themselves, but about creating a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their inner worlds and heal on multiple levels.
One of the unique aspects of my work is the integration of various healing modalities to cater to the specific needs of each client. Whether it’s through the gentle energy of reiki, the meditative state induced by sound healing, or the physical, mental and spiritual balance achieved through yoga, I strive to offer a comprehensive healing experience.
I am most proud of the transformations I witness in my clients. Seeing them leave a session with a smile and a sense of peace is incredibly rewarding. It reinforces my belief in the power of these practices and the importance of the work I do.
Additionally, my brand “I Am Luv2 All” was born from a deep period of self-discovery, where I asked myself, “Who am I?” The answer I received was “LOVE,” and this became the foundation of my business. Love is at the core of everything I do, and it’s what I aim to share with every individual I work with.
This year, I’m excited to announce several upcoming workshops and the all-inclusive Lion’s Gate Retreat in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. These retreats are designed to provide immersive and transformative experiences, helping participants reconnect with themselves and the natural world.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
“A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson: This book has been instrumental in shaping my approach to business and life. Its core message—that love is the most powerful force—resonates deeply with me. Key nuggets of wisdom such as “Love gives energy and direction; it is spiritual fuel” and “Our real power emanates from a force that is in us but not of us” have inspired me to lead with love and authenticity in all my endeavors.
“The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle: This book has taught me the importance of presence and mindfulness. Tolle’s teachings about living in the present moment have helped me manage stress and stay grounded, both in my personal life and in my business. It’s a reminder to focus on the here and now, which is crucial for effective decision-making and leadership.
“Start with Why” by Simon Sinek: Sinek’s book has significantly impacted my entrepreneurial thinking. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the “why” behind what you do. This concept has helped me stay aligned with my purpose and communicate the core values of my business more effectively.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
A pivotal story of resilience from my journey involves overcoming multiple profound challenges, including narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, addiction, and cancer. I found myself in a toxic relationship marked by emotional manipulation and physical abuse, which took a severe toll on my health. This led to struggles with addiction and a cancer diagnosis.
Despite these immense challenges, I found the strength to break free from the abusive relationship and embark on a journey of healing. Battling cancer while recovering from addiction and trauma required every ounce of resilience I had.
It taught me to trust myself, stay true to my purpose, and turn my pain into strength and inspiration for others. Today, I am proud of my journey and the positive impact my wellness business has on others lives.
