Enrich. Empower. Enlighten
Pura Vie translates to “Pure Life” and is a center of spiritual balance and rejuvenation for all who seek enlightenment. The name is derived from the Spanish expression “Pura Vida” and the French phrase “La Vie Bohème”. “Pura Vida” means to live a life free of stress, to be grateful for what you have, and to release negativity. “La Vie Bohème” is the Bohemian free-spirited way of life of the individual who believes in truth, freedom, and love.
The energy Pura Vie embodies is open to all who desire natural, holistic bodywork, mind-body balance and strengthen their knowledge and practice in higher-conscious living.
Our Mantra: ENRICH. EMPOWER. ENLIGHTEN is also our Mission Statement. We seek to Enrich the soul through spiritual balance, Empower the body with holistic self-care, and Enlighten the mind to share this knowledge with the world.
