In GIA’s history, very few polished diamonds of gem quality have surpassed the 100-carat mark. Already part of an elite group due to its size, the highly transparent nature of this diamond adds to its rarity. This pure diamond is classified as type IIa which scientifically means it is lacking measurable levels of impurities like nitrogen, thus giving this diamond its pure white color.

This diamond was fashioned into a classic old world cushion cut, with its smaller table and open culet. Its faceting bears resemblance to other world-renowned diamonds, such as the 45.52 carat Blue Hope Diamond and the 105 carat Koh-I-Nur.

FROM THE EDITOR

On the heels of my last year in college, I decided I was going to become a runner. I wasn’t a natural by any stretch. In fact, I hated running. Nevertheless, I became almost obsessive about my new hobby, cranking out several miles a day. Running gave me purpose, cleared my mind, and provided immense satisfaction. Although I devoured plenty of pizza and hamburgers back in those days, running helped me take the first steps of my health journey, a voyage that I’m still trekking today.

What I’ve learned from those many miles of road coursed is this: Health and wellness extend far beyond the parameters of eating well and intense exercise. Physical fitness and diet are certainly important elements of wellness.

However, we can’t neglect the magnitude of our mental and emotional wellbeing as well as other factors, such as our happiness, that lead to us living long, enjoyable lives.

If you haven’t guessed already, this issue centers around health and wellness in its many modes. Gracing our cover this month is local wellness influencer Jennifer Khosla, who radiates not only a beautiful smile but also a salubrious spirit. Founder of a Naples-based wellness company, Khosla is an experienced registered yoga teacher, a certified holistic nutritionist, a mind-body wellness practitioner, and a certified personal trainer. And, while she doesn’t shy away from training men, she has a burning desire to empower women and assist with their health and wellness goals. For more about Khosla and how she helps others be their best, turn to page 94.

Another area resource, the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center (NTRC), is working to help others in the health and wellness arena by harnessing the empathetic power of horses. These beautiful animals have the incredible ability to read human emotions. NTRC provides a stable of equine-based programs to help those with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. From painting ponies to acting with horses through improvisation, the center incorporates creative therapeutic services that support and heal people in amazing ways. Flip to page 102 for more on the ingenuity and benefits of this innovative resource right in our backyard.

If you’re looking for some simple ways to enhance your life, consider finding comfort and contentment through hygge—a popular Danish lifestyle that centers around the pursuit of everyday happiness. Learn more about this concept, including how to pronounce it, on page 124.

Being obsessed with health doesn’t necessarily equate to being healthy. Wellness requires balance. Wherever you are with your wellness ways, here’s wishing you a healthy body, sound mind, and serene soul.

Salud!

INSIDER

By Cathy Chestnut

A Wonder-ful AVIARY

Wonder Gardens recently dedicated the Jim and Julie Oberweis Golden Pheasant Pavilion in one of the garden’s four Victorian-era solariums. The Oberweises, who live in Bonita Bay, donated $75,000 to create the exhibit where four golden pheasants and a mated pair of violet turacos fly freely and wander the enclosure’s lush landscape and waterfall. “Their donation covers the creation of the exhibit and its ongoing care and maintenance,” says Wonder Gardens President/CEO David Rahahe:tih Webb. “It also supports the care of the birds,” which were chosen for this exhibit’s habitat. (A limited number of visitors each day can purchase food to hand-feed the birds.) The solariums, built in France, were donated to the Wonder Gardens in 2018. The Oberweises

recently became full-time Bonita Springs residents after Jim’s retirement as chairman and owner of Oberweis Dairy, founded by his grandfather in 1915 in Aurora, Illinois.

He also served in the Illinois Senate. The 85-year-old, nonprofit Wonder Gardens is undergoing a renaissance from vintage roadside attraction to botanical garden and nature center. Since 2020, seven new exhibits have been added to the three-and-a-half-acre refuge for 300 rescued and rehabilitated birds and reptiles, and a record-setting 105,000 visited it in 2021.

Puttin’ on the RITZ

Private, luxury cabanas and the 14,000-squarefoot aquatic play area with waterslides and a lazy river join a new outdoor restaurant at the golf resort.

N

aples boasts two Ritz-Carltons, and both are undergoing renovations that are making them even dreamier destinations. That’s already happened at The RitzCarlton Golf Resort, Naples, which recently debuted The Reservoir, a 14,000-square-foot aquatic play area featuring a 600-foot lazy river (called Drift), three waterslides, and a kiddie splash zone. The golf resort’s new features appeal to the whole family and expand amenities for non-golfers, says marketing spokeswoman Kristen Kelleher. “It’s a great family experience.”

The new outdoor Ría restaurant features Latin American flavors from chef Aldo Novoa Rodriguez while six private cabanas at the adults-only pool¾—each boasting a wet bar, flat-screen television, tableside butler service, and alfresco dishes from Ría—enhance guests’ personal paradise.

The Ritz-Carlton, Naples is “being fully renovated from top to bottom” and expanding with new luxury accommodations, Kelleher says. The original beach resort is one of the oldest properties in the Ritz family and has undergone several upgrades over its 35-year history. Among an impressive host of upgrades, 35 guest suites are being renovated and 57 new ones are being built, bringing the total to 474. The revamped spa reopened five months ago, and the remainder of the project is expected to be complete

by December. “The guest experience isn’t too impacted by the construction,” Kelleher says. Guests of either resort can avail themselves of the amenities offered at both Ritz-Carlton properties. (ritz-carlton.com)

INSIDER HISTORIC PRESERVATION

Bank of Everglades

A movement to restore the Bank of Everglades in Everglades City has crystalized since Naples resident Robert Flick gifted the half-million-dollar historic landmark to the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation in March 2021. It was the first bank in Collier County in 1923 and inhabited its two-story home on Broadway Avenue from 1927 to 1962. It was later used as a newspaper office and a bed and breakfast but has deteriorated after sitting empty for several years.

The nonprofit has worked with a contractor to clean out the building and remove upstairs partitions, has teamed with a pro bono architect, and has been raising money to fund the renovation project. Marya Repko, preservation society secretary and the author of some 15 regional history books, says facilities will be updated to meet accessibility requirements, including the installation of an elevator. Envisioned for downstairs is a visitor’s center. Flick was an extra in the 1958 film, Wind Across the Everglades, and plans are afoot to turn the original bank vault into a room where the classic plays on a continuous loop. Plans call for the second-story rooms to be rented as artist studios or office space.

“We’re unique in Everglades City,” says Repko.

GIVING BACK

Record-breaking WINE FEST

New AMU President

Everglades City was the county seat until 1962, making it a hub of activity that included the first bank.

“There aren’t many villages that look today like they did 100 years ago.” The original goal was to unveil a fully restored bank building on May 8, 2023—the centennial anniversary of the founding of Collier County. “I had a dream it’d be open by then, but I don’t think it will,” she adds. The society is offering tours on Saturday, April 23, to complement another anniversary: the 1928 opening of the Tamiami Trail. Hard hat tours are limited to 10, and tickets are $150. (saveboe.com)

Bidding paddles are flashed enthusiastically at the live auction.

Cheers to the patrons of the Naples Winter Wine Festival, who outdid themselves by raising a record $23 million-plus at the twenty-second annual event themed “Rise Up: Twenty Twenty TWOgether” in January at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. The wine festival raises money for the Naples Children & Education Foundation, which funds 50 nonprofits’ health, education, and mental health programs supporting underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County. The top luxury auction lot—“Million Dollar Meal: All for the Kids”¾—sold for $1 million to 40 couples who contributed $25,000 each. They will partake in an intimate cocktail and wine reception and multi-course meal prepared and hosted at Bleu Provence by coowners Lysielle and Jacques Cariot. (napleswinefestival.com) 54

STYLE How did the Veronica Beard brand come about?

VMB: Veronica and I started this brand in 2010. It began as a rack of dickey jackets—that was our answer to uniform dressing for women at the time, and the jacket is still always a best seller for us. We call it our superhero cape. And since then it has evolved beyond our wildest dreams—into a full lifestyle collection with ready-to-wear, jeans, shoes, and swim.

REAL TALK WITH...

Veronica Beard

Sister-in-law designers Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard discuss the look, feel, and purpose behind their eponymous fashion brand

BY KATHERINE LANDE VSB: We started the brand because we wanted to give women those wardrobe MVPs, essential pieces that would make them feel great immediately and transform their confidence.

What are each other’s strengths?

VMB: Veronica has such an eye for detail. She’s obsessed with interiors, and I think that skill, of looking at a room or a home and having a vision for how it should come together, really translates into a wardrobe and a collection.

VSB: Veronica [previously] worked in finance. She has a head for business, and her eye is always on what’s next. Our personal taste can also be very different, but we use that to strengthen our collections.

She is the one that injects a little glamour and sparkle into the brand.

What was the inspiration behind the Spring/Summer 2022 collection?

62

The Veronica Beard Spring/Summer 2022 collection features practical pieces with a flirty edge.

VSB: A dream wardrobe has to work in real life. Every collection is designed to fit a woman’s lifestyle in that seasonal moment. We are pragmatic in that way. But pragmatic doesn’t have to mean boring or unsexy. Our spring collection is filled with gorgeous fabrics like eyelets and silks. It is pieces she can wear on holiday or to a wedding, or to the office with one of our classic blazers thrown on top.

How has the pandemic changed the way you design?

VMB: People want to get dressed again! I saw this happening relatively early in the pandemic when I started dressing up just to run basic errands. I think people want a reason to get dressed because it makes them feel good.

It’s our goal to offer something for women no matter what that means for them—it could be more casual or it could be more work or event appropriate, and we have those pieces that just give women an added boost to take on their day.

Tell us about your “Make it Happen” series.

VSB: We launched [it] last fall to profile inspiring women from many different fields, industries, and stages in their lives, to celebrate what makes them individual and unique. We have met so many incredible women on this Veronica Beard journey, and each one is making it happen in her own way. Every woman lives “in the and” so to speak, with so many facets making up who she is. ... To date, we have profiled over 50 incredible women, with many more to come.

THWART DRY SKIN AND COMBAT EXCESS OIL WHILE MAINTAINING A YOUTHFUL GLOW

By Tristan Dyer The world of men’s skin care has grown in recent years, with more products geared toward our unique needs. In comparison to women, men have thicker skin and significantly more collagen, which means it takes longer for our skin to show signs of aging. It is important to preserve these aspects while understanding that a man’s naturally large pores result in the increased production of oil and excessive amounts of sebum from sebaceous glands. We must turn to remedies that address these needs, including dense moisturizers and purifying cleansers. Keep an eye out for ingredients such as proteins and antioxidants, which will actively support and rehabilitate the skin. These six products are tailored to the modern gentleman and, together, provide a well-rounded daily regimen.

BALMS AWAY Nourishing severely dehydrated skin, Valmont’s Primary Pomade ($290) is a dense balm featuring prebiotics and probiotics that will repair and strengthen the skin’s natural ecosystem. (lamaisonvalmont.com) 66

SUPER SERUM The plant-based Bioeffect EGF serum ($169) contains barley EGF that can stimulate the production of collagen and reduce wrinkles. (bioeffect.com)

Down to the Studs

A fast-forward RENOVATION for a 1983 Monaco Beach Club condo

By Mary Thurman Yuhas | Photography by Amber Frederiksen When a retired Indiana couple decided to buy a seasonal condo in Monaco Beach Club, it had the views and the Southwest Florida vibes they were seeking, except it was in dire need of not just a refresh, but a complete overhaul.

The couple had rented in Park Shore for years before deciding to buy their three-bedroom condo midway up the 18-story high-rise.

There was one obvious challenge: It had not been changed since the tower went up in Park Shore in 1983. In that era, highly compartmentalized dwellings were de rigueur—¾a sharp contrast to open floor plans popular today. Why not take maximum advantage of the Gulf of Mexico views? After exploring their neighbors’ updated units and NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

Top: Enhancing views of the Gulf of Mexico was a major focus of the renovation.

The original mirrored, cramped bar (above) was replaced with a new one (right) featuring warm Corian for both the counter and backsplash.

contemplating how airy their residence could be, the couple embarked on a renovation odyssey.

Following a friend’s advice, the homeowners contracted EECON Construction Services. President Pete Emidy recommended Jinx McDonald Interior Designs team comprising Chrissy Howard, senior interior designer and lead designer, and Janine Blume, interior designer. Together, the two award-winning, Naples-based firms forged their clients’ vision into reality.

“After about three meetings with the clients, we knew it was going to be a full gut down to the studs. A lot of it had to do with opening up the view and creating more storage,” recalls Howard.

“They wanted a clean, transitional style with a touch of glamour.”

TRANSFORMATION

The original front door led to an enclosed, mirrored foyer providing no hint of the glorious panorama beyond. Today, the sophisticated retreat opens to an airy great room with the gulf as a stunning backdrop. Sheathed in a neutral color palette, the nearly 3,000-square-foot condo incorporates variations of blue that echo the wild blue beyond while splashes of the colors of driftwood, black, and gold infuse glamour. Generous use of performance fabric on most of the furnishings allows worry-free

entertaining and gives their grandchildren free rein in the elegant but comfortable home.

“There’s a lot going on in a relatively small space, but basically, we captured the view and combined competing elements,” Blume explains.

For the reconfigured dry bar, “we used the same Corian with warm veining on the counter and backsplash” to create unity, says Howard. Jewel-like sconces—fabricated from textured glass with a layer of gold leaf along the bottom and supported by hand-rubbed, black iron brackets—flank the bar.

Walls were removed to open the enclosed galley kitchen and two remaining load-bearing columns were hidden in plain sight after being converted into pantries. The couple worked closely with designers on the kitchen, which features Sub-Zero and Miele appliances and a coffee bar, a favorite feature where they brew fresh coffee, lattes, and green tea before settling into the great room to plan out their day.

To separate the formal dining and living spaces without being

obtrusive, the designers created an indigo sideboard with gold accents supported on a base of satin brass. “We commissioned it so it would fit perfectly between the two columns,” says Howard. Elevated dry wall finishes attractively obscure the sprinkler system and sprinkler heads.

Bringing the outside blues into the soothing master bedroom adds to the nurturing feel of nature that surrounds the plush space. Rows of custom pillows on the king-size bed make a subtle connection to the waves outside. “My goal was for them to have a relaxing haven at the end of the day,” notes Howard.

In the master bath, the couple requested a soaking tub that took up a lot of space be replaced with a luxurious shower. Gold fixtures, NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

Champagne-like suspended bubbles in the glass sconces, and a vanity chair embroidered on the back with a little shimmer enhance the space’s sumptuous vibe.

Used by their adult children when they visit, the en-suite guest room features a king-size bed topped with über-cozy bedding. “Most important in guest bedrooms is treating guests to a spa-like retreat that is calming, well-furnished, and comfortable,” says Howard.

The charming en-suite grandchildren’s bedroom is alive with blues and greens. “It makes you feel like you are in Florida,” Blume

adds, noting the twin trundle beds create more space for additional visitors and everything in the space is durable and washable.

The husband and wife are delighted with their home. “It makes me feel at peace, and we love the views. This is a dream I’ve always wanted, and I pinch myself that we have it,” she says, praising the design team. Both designers are equally enthusiastic. “Our clients are over the moon. It was a labor of love, and we’re extremely proud of the way it came together. This was a collaboration that made their dream home come to life,” says Howard. «

Home Haven HOW-TO

A blueprint for creating a luxe lair for your personal ZEN TIME

By Liza Grant Smith

@JESSIEPREZA

Remember Superman’s Fortress of Solitude? It was an icy place of solace where the superhero would go to reflect and recharge. Turns out, this type of haven is just as valuable to mortals as those with X-ray vision. Creating an area in your home that serves as your escape and place of rejuvenation can help you manage daily stress and promote balance in your life.

The first step? Identify a space that you can completely dedicate to your goal of Zen. A room that has more than one purpose will likely not be as effective given the inherent visual and mental distractions.

Once you’ve chosen your location, move on to creating the perfect space based on what comforts you.

74

YOUR ZEN: Tranquility YOUR SPACE: A Soothing Sanctuary PLAYING TO THE SENSES: THE VISUAL: Your chosen color palette is one of the easiest ways to evoke feelings of relaxation. Consider stress-reducing colors like blue, green, or pink. That said, be sure that it’s also a color that speaks to you personally.

Use cues from lounge pieces in your existing wardrobe. For a captivating effect, consider creating emotion through dynamic wall coverings. With a design philosophy described as “timeless elegance with modern, edgy chic,” Nicolette Mayer offers stunning wall panels and murals that speak to the theme of calm.

Available to purchase through The House

of Scalamandré showroom at International Design Source, Naples. (ids1.com) THE SCENT: Because smell is the only sense linked to emotions and memories, it serves as an important component to creating the feeling of a space. Instead of hunting through the burgeoning number of essential oil options, outsource the selection to an expert. Aroma 360 specializes in home scenting. They create fragrance oil combinations and offer scent diffusers customized specifically to you and your space. (aroma360.com) THE TOUCH: Massage chairs can be functional wizards, but often visual duds. Enter the Nouhaus Classic V2 massage chair, a supremely stylish option (available in colors like pale rose and ash gray) that offers full-body or spot massage with track rollers and 42 deep-pressure kneads per minute. (nouhaus.com) YOUR ZEN: Creativity YOUR SPACE: A Craft Hub PLAYING TO THE SENSES: THE VISUAL: For those who find creation is what truly grounds them, a space that specifically speaks to their

hobby or interest is key. This can be any creative pursuit from painting, needlepointing, or scrapbooking—some even get their emotional release from gift wrapping. Since the supply list for some of these activities is long, it is important that the space is organizationally conscious. The professionals at California Closets in Naples can help you design a room that preserves order without hindering the creative process. (californiaclosets.com) THE SOUND: Create soundtracks for your sessions. Streaming services like Spotify have preexisting playlists that cater to creativity and inspiration. Try some out and discover what puts you in a good space. Or ditch the preexisting mixes and scroll through your music library for songs that make you happy and compile your own collection. Use wireless speakers with great audio, like the Beosound Balance by Bang & Olufsen to help deliver the vibe. Available through Design West, Naples. (dwest.com)

THE TASTE: In addition to reducing stress and boosting your mood, green tea has been shown to increase connectivity among parts of the brain and to improve creativity. Steep some Blueberry Green Superfruit Tea from The Republic of Tea and take it along for the creative journey in your craft room. Available at Whole Foods Market, Naples. (wholefoods market.com)

UNIVERSAL APPEAL Troy Beasley, design principal for Beasley & Henley Interior Design, embraces this project as one of his favorite kitchens that he has designed recently. “This kitchen has the best of both worlds, incorporating a feel of luxury for both clients,” Beasley says. “The warmth of the wood, combined with the gray finishes on the doors, topped off with antique gold hardware and lighting provide a nice balance. Because the kitchen hood was so large, I added brass details to help soften and define it. Now it becomes an art piece and focal point of the space.”

ABODE INTO THE OUTSIDE

On the BALCONY

Big beauty can bloom in SMALL SPACES

By Nanci Theoret Oh, how does your garden grow…in a small space?

If you live in a condo and covet your friend’s large lanai, create a similar scenario by converting a mousehouse-sized balcony or patio into a welcoming garden spot with decorative planters, scaled-down furniture and blooming tropicals. Just like a lanai is to a house, well-appointed balconies become an extension of your indoor space, enveloping you in calming nature the moment you step outside.

Plan out your priorities and how you’ll use a balcony garden. Do you picture yourself cozying up with a book, harvesting herbs and vegetables, or dining alfresco? Is privacy an issue?

Envision your balcony retreat, then get started.

PLANT PICKS Start by following the golden rule of plantdom: Observe sunlight patterns and weather conditions, says Michael Alfonso, a garden designer at Driftwood Garden Center who has transformed ho-hum balconies into little pieces of paradise. You will likely want sun-loving plants, but be sure to put plants that do require more shade in an appropriate location. If you live close to the Gulf of Mexico, make sure your plant choices tolerate salt-tinged air.

Bromeliads and succulents are among Alfonso’s go-tos for smaller spaces. “Bromeliads provide bright shades of colors—¾bright reds, oranges, pinks, and purples,” he says. “Succulents have a low profile and work great in planter boxes.” Other good options are Chinese evergreens; they’re hardy and provide shade. Plus, they’re available in a variety of leaf patterns—¾silver, green, and white¾—and work well with bromeliads, Alfonso says. Also an option are small palms, which lend flexibility because they can take sun or shade.

Potted, fruit-bearing Key lime, orange, Meyer lemon, and avocado trees are possibilities if your balcony gets at least five hours of daily sunlight. Look for well-established trees 78

Succulents (left) and bromeliads (center) are low-maintenance plants that fare well in containers and provide rainbows of color. Assess sunlight and weather conditions on your balcony before getting started.

that can multitask as living privacy screens.

For vegetables, keep in mind that Florida’s main growing season starts in late fall. Most vegetable plants wither in summer’s heat, though herbs are likely to tough it out.

According to the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Science, lettuce, kale, peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant grow well in containers, as well as basil, mint, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Established starter plants—rather than beginning with seed—are recommended for the best success.

CONTAINERS & COMFORT Containers offer virtually endless opportunities to define your balcony’s aesthetic with a variety of sizes and styles—¾from contemporary concrete to utilitarian stone and colorful, ceramic-like Talavera. Be sure to match the plant’s root system and requirements to the pot and place a tray underneath to catch water.

Furniture enhances a small balcony’s style and function. Consider a love seat, end table, café table and chairs, and benches in fabrics and finishes designed to hold up to Florida weather. Powder-coated aluminum and teak frames are the best options, says Alfonso. Garden stools also add seating without taking up too much room.

If furniture puts floor space at a premium, maximize it with vertical gardens based on the ground or on a wall system suitable for your balcony. Think of your balcony’s walls and ceilings as a blank canvas for a trellis and vining plants, weatherproof art, decor made from organic materials, such as driftwood, and hanging plants. Make sure your selections aren’t too heavy ¾or prohibited by association rules.

Outdoor lighting and area rugs complete the look, as do statues and fountains. Lightweight or tabletop versions made of resin can emulate the appearance of sandstone, granite, and marble. «

VIKING RIVER CRUISES

Scenes from Viking’s “River of Gold” cruise, clockwise from above: The city of Porto; steep hills along the Douro River; the Tower of Belém; the Jerónimos Monastery.

As international travel and cruising slowly reenter the realm of normal, a wide world of river cruises awaits—and one country inviting exploration by water is Portugal.

In the years before the pandemic, Viking River Cruises unveiled the Helgrim, one of its baby Longships built to traverse Portugal’s Douro River and navigate its five narrow locks within a 10-day “River of Gold” itinerary. These 262-foot ships are more intimate than Viking’s famed Longships, with 53 staterooms that accommodate just 106 guests. The rooftop pool is a highlight, as is the Aquavit Terrace on the ship’s bow that makes for a convivial alfresco gathering place. A 36-person crew creates a luxury experience with attentive service, informative guides, and enhanced amenities.

Viking’s promise to be “the thinking person’s cruise” is in full effect on its “River of Gold” vacation, which starts with two full days in Lisbon.

Guests will see the Tower of Belém and enjoy guided tours of the Jerónimos Monastery and the Maritime Museum, where Portugal’s powerful trade history is brought to life with original Indian 84

spices, maps, navigation tools, sunken treasure, and intricately carved royal ships. Walking tours also venture deep into colorful neighborhoods, with stops at tucked-away restaurants for local fare and ever-present Port wine.

Lisbon is one of Europe’s most elegant metropolises. Its inlaid stone sidewalks, hand-painted building tiles, and yellow cable cars that climb its eight steep hills create a romantic ambience rarely expressed in capital cities. The second weekend of every month—as well as the fourth weekend from May to October—artisans, cobblers, and antique dealers ply their trades under a canopy of trees on Avenida de Liberdade, the city’s main street directly outside the Tivoli hotel.

After your time in Lisbon, you’ll travel to Porto, Portugal’s second largest city and the birthplace of the country’s signature wine. This is also where you’ll officially board the ship at the dock at Vila Nova de Gaia. Here—and daily—Viking passengers must make difficult choices about tours, as each is carefully selected to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, historians, gastronomes, and curious travelers. Those who embark on the roughly 3.5-mile Porto City Hike will come across medieval streets originally settled by the Romans, stone homes and restaurants built in the seventeenth century, and the Church of Saint Francis with its magnificently gilded interiors.

History, food, and Port dominate this Douro Valley sojourn, the only region in the world in which Port is made. Apple, orange, almond, and olive groves decorate the hillsides, and the scent of vineyards and Port cellars permeates the air.

Grape harvests run from September 15 to October 15, when travelers can visit grand estates and participate in picking, stomping, and fermenting.

Outside of the harvest season, Viking guests can instead head to a nineteenth-century estate

A local sommelier sets up a tabletop lab within the family villa, where you will create a 750-ml bottle of Tawny Port by blending just the right amount of five-, 10-, and 20-year Ports. As you mix, a memorable science project unfolds, with the serenade of a fountain, the aromas of bougainvillea, and the backdrop of gardens, vineyards, and stone steps setting a fairy-tale scene.

Cultural immersion is at the forefront of any Viking river cruise, and one of the most extraordinary tours offered to passengers is in Favaios.

An excursion to this tiny village is available on the Pinhão leg of the cruise and includes a breadmaking demonstration, with bakers making their loaves in ovens heated with wood and grapevines. You’ll also visit the Bread and Wine Museum and have lunch at the Quinta da Avessada wine estate.

The country’s law dictates that no ships can ply the Douro at night, thus the Helgrim and others dock every evening in another sleepy town.

Nightly sommelier recommendations include a revolving selection of the region’s best wines—with Port flowing freely and crew, guests, and local performers engaging in the evening’s entertainment.

While the pandemic has made traveling abroad and by boat somewhat unpredictable,

Viking River Cruises has taken precautions to help ensure the safety and health of its passengers and crew, including COVID-19 vaccination requirements, noninvasive saliva PCR tests, new air purification technology, and complimentary PCR testing before outbound flights, if needed. Prior to your cruise, visit Viking’s website for the most up-to-date protocols.

Travel has undeniably changed, but smallship cruising within a bubble of luxury and safety checks grants more personalization and bigger adventures. And this is one trip to put on your bucket list. (vikingrivercruises.com) «

QUICK TRIPS

Today’s TAMPA

The five-star JW Marriott Tampa Water Street reflects the city’s evolution

By Mary Murray If you haven’t been to downtown Tampa in a while, there are a lot of new experiences, places, bites, and sights in store. The city is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, propelled in part by its championshipwinning sports teams and an infusion of millennials planting roots and raising families in the area. Leading the way is the Tampa Riverwalk and Channel District. Here, next door to the Amalie Arena, you’ll find the new JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, a sleek addition to the skyline that acts as a chic second home for travelers and locals alike.

From top to bottom, this property combines sophisticated surrounds with an inviting atmosphere inclusive of restaurants, amenities, and unique accommodations. A standout offering among the hotel’s 519 rooms and suites are the Stay Well rooms, which boast elements geared toward improving well-being, such as advanced air-purification systems and circadian lighting.

Head to the sixth floor to continue this wellness trajectory at the Spa

by JW and the rooftop pool and lounge area. Spend the day in a poolside cabana, escaping to the adjacent Six restaurant for a light lunch or evening cocktails overlooking Tampa.

When hunger hits, you can also venture over to the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street’s sister Marriott property to dine on the Garrison Channel at Anchor & Brine, which specializes in what Matthew Brennan, the resort’s executive chef, describes as coastal Florida cuisine with a Latin influence.

Sense of place and seasonality play a role across many of the on-site restaurant concepts, with Brennan sourcing local lettuces from Brick Street Farms in St. Petersburg and tomatoes from The Villages Grown.

But perhaps no space exudes the essence of Water Street quite like the JW Marriot’s lobby area. Here, mid-century modern decor and soaring design elements cradle communal gathering spots. Sip on a nightcap at the Driftlight Lounge bar or savor a morning pastry by chef Natalia Meshalkina at the JW Market coffee house.

Scenes from the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, clockwise from top left: Rooftop pool; lobby lounge; interior of Driftlight restaurant; cocktail at Six.

Anchoring it all is Driftlight, the JW Marriott’s signature restaurant.

The scene is Mad Men meets twenty-first-century urban cool, with wraparound booths that invite intimate conversation. Start the day with a breakfast of chicken sausage hash, acai bowls, or lemon poppy seed pancakes that are bright, light, and just the right amount of sweet. Come evening, Driftlight transforms into an upscale steak house with a Florida twist. Sous chef Dylan Rebuck has taken the reins of the restaurant’s dryaging program, which enhances a menu dotted with Floridian ingredients like grouper and Latin touches including a chimichurri steak sauce.

Driftlight captures the essence of the hotel as a whole— a hip hangout for discerning travelers who enjoy the finer things in life but don’t sweat the small stuff. Whether it be for dinner, a spa treatment, or the entire weekend, a visit to the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street is much like the city itself: up-andcoming, carefree, and a whole lot of fun.

BMW’s sensational 612-hp Alpina B8 Gran Coupe offers the ultimate in sophisticated performance

By Howard Walker BMW design has become a little, shall we say, eccentric as of late. It seems each model is all swollen kidney grilles, creased and crumpled bodywork, and cartoonish proportions. Case in point: the all-new iX electric sport-ute, which looks like it came from the Etch A Sketch of some sugared-up 4-year-old.

But there’s one design masterpiece in the burgeoning BMW lineup that never fails to spin heads and deliver endless oohhs and aahhs: the stunning 8 Series Gran Coupe.

This sensuous four-door fastback—with its low-slung bulldog stance, raked-back windshield, and swoopy roofline—is one of the most gorgeous automobiles money can buy. Want to increase the appeal of the 8 Series Gran Coupe even further and ensure you become part of an ultra-exclusive group of owners? Then opt for the Alpina version.

Alpina is BMW’s performance division—kind of like Mercedes’ AMG setup but on a much smaller scale. Around 1,700 Alpinas are produced each year, split between the 7 Series–based B7, the honking X7-based XB7, and the B8 Gran Coupe. Alpina develops all three models, which BMW then builds and sells exclusively in the United States, backed by a 90

full BMW warranty. Of that 1,700, fewer than 400 find their way to the States.

This latest 612-horsepower $140,000 Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is the purest of the three. Without a doubt, it is the most coveted performance BMW in production.

Yes, there’s a 617-horsepower M8 Competition Gran Coupe that’s faster, more hardcore, and around $10,000 cheaper. But what the Alpina delivers is staggering performance paired with true luxury, refinement, and exclusivity.

See it out on the street and the B8 is instantly recognizable, with those trademark 20-spoke, 21-inch Alpina alloys wrapped in custom Pirelli rubber. They demand just about as much attention as the bright, cobalt-blue brake calipers ready to clamp down on rotors the size of XXL pizzas.

Bodywork updates include a reworked front bumper with bigger, air-gulping intakes and a new lower apron sporting that distinctive Alpina script. At the rear, there’s a sleek decklid spoiler and a quartet

of fire-breathing ovoid tailpipes attached to an Alpina-developed exhaust. When it comes to the paint job, there are 13 colors to choose from, but why would anyone stray from the trademark Alpina Green Metallic of our test car or the equally gorgeous Alpina Metallic Blue?

Inside, it’s all glove-soft Merino leather and black walnut trim, plus an almost comically thick Alpina wheel with signature blue and green stitching. A somewhat odd addition is the laser-etched crystal glass shift knob embossed with the Alpina logo.

But it’s the beating heart under the hood that makes this Alpina Gran Coupe so special. While it’s the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 used in

the standard 850i Gran Coupe, Alpina ups the horsepower to 612. More importantly, max torque increases to a mighty 590 pound-feet. That’s 37 lb-ft more than the track-focused M8 Competition Coupe packs.

The B8 is quick—as in standstill to 60 in 3.3 seconds, with forward motion not ceasing until the speedo needle is showing 201 mph. Coupled to an Alpina-programmed 8-speed ZF automatic, shifts are lightning fast and light-switch responsive. But the quirky buttons instead of the stock BMW paddle shifters are just plain silly and an example of change for the sake of change.

Back on the plus side, Alpina’s tuning wizards scattered their pixie dust all over the stock suspension, active anti-roll bars, xDrive allwheel drive, and rear-wheel steering to ensure the B8 corners like it’s running on invisible rails. But what truly sets the car apart is the stellar quality of its ride. Whereas the M8 Competition Gran Coupe will chatter teeth and jiggle eyeballs, the Alpina soaks up lumps and l FOLLOW HOWARD WALKER’S bumps with astonishing alacrity.

HIGH SEAS

Grand DESIGN Beneteau’s new Grand Trawler 62 loves taking it easy but has the power to get up and go

By Howard Walker You won’t find it listed in The New England Journal of Medicine or even on WebMD, but there’s a condition afflicting buyers of trawlerstyle motor yachts. It’s called SAS—short for speed anxiety syndrome—and it’s on the rise.

These owners know they’ll spend 99 percent of their cruising days watching the world go by at a nice-and-easy 9 or 10 knots, ensuring no rum punch ever spills. And yet, should they need to open the taps and get home fast—say, at the first sign of a thunderhead or the impending arrival of happy hour at the yacht club—they want their vessel to deliver.

With the SAS sufferer in mind, French trawler yacht builder Beneteau has introduced a gorgeous new flagship known as the Grand Trawler 62. While it was designed to cruise for days on end at whisper-quiet, single-digit 92

speeds, the 62 boasts a pair of 730hp MAN diesels ready to punch to 20 knots when the need arises.

This new Grand Trawler 62 replaces the much-loved Swift Trawler 52 and is the result of numerous conversations with existing Swift Trawler owners. They asked for a softer-riding, wave-cleaving, displacement-style hull for 1,000-miles-on-one-tank passages, but one that could still get up and go.

To achieve the desired result, oh-so-French Beneteau turned to Italy, enlisting Italian naval architects Micad to design the round bilge displacement hull and Nauta Design in Milan to create the interior layout. Beneteau even built the 62 at the Monfalcone, Italy, yard of Monte Carlo Yachts, now part of Groupe Beneteau.

The result is a yacht that offers the best of trawler-style comfort and design. That means a near 18-foot beam that’s carried almost all the way to the bow for massive interior volumes, as well as a reverse-angle windshield and side-deck overhangs. The towering bow and lofty hull sides yield plenty of real estate to accommodate huge rectangular windows that flood the lower cabins with light.

Because cruising is all about enjoying outdoor space, the 62 features a flybridge that looks big enough to land a Learjet on. There are acres of sunpads plus plenty of seating and an outdoor kitchen. Above it, a fiberglass hardtop provides shade, though at the press of a button a large sunroof powers open.

But it would be hard for anyone aboard to drag themselves away from the covered and enclosable lower back deck, with its L-shaped sofa, extendable table, and elevated, rear-facing views. It’s perfect for taking in the action on the parking-lot-sized swim platform below.

Sliding-glass doors lead into the open-plan salon and helm area. Lovely design features here include expansive windows, a galley that can be closed off with sliding windows, and a raised sofa/daybed alongside the twin helm seats. The boat on view at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show also came with un-trawler-like light-oak veneers, off-white walls and ceilings, and dark wenge floors that gave the yacht a hip, ultra-modern look.

Below deck, the standard layout is for three en-suite cabins, including a cavernous owner’s suite amidships, a VIP guest suite in the bow, and a twin-berth guest cabin. The spacious feeling is heightened by 6-and-a-half feet of headroom and that sprawling beam.

The superior quality and craftsmanship of this new Grand Trawler 62 are reflected in the price, which starts at just under $3 million.

And there’s nothing gimmicky or contrived here—it’s just well-thought-out design and bulletproof construction. A “grand” trawler indeed. «

Jennifer Khosla is the founder of Naples-based wellness company Lean and Green Body.

even years ago, Ron Nordmann decided to try yoga with Jennifer Khosla, and he’s still at it today. “She’s kept me in such good shape as I approach my 81st birthday. I’m at my high school weight and feel as well as I ever have in my adult life,” he reports. “I attribute a great deal of that to her.”

Nordmann says maintaining balance is an important goal, as well as protecting trouble spots, such as his occasionally bothersome back and hips, while stretching and strengthening the rest of his body. “One of the things everyone my age worries about is falling,” he explains. In his yoga sessions, “we do an amazing amount of balancing work. Thank goodness I’ve never fallen.”

When in-person yoga sessions went virtual during the pandemic, Nordmann and Khosla maintained their three-

times-a-week meetings via FaceTime—the Monday and Wednesday sessions, anyway. Each Tuesday, they pivot to Zoom, making it possible to include his daughter and sonin-law in North Carolina in trainings. Nordmann, who is from New Jersey and moved to Naples permanently 11 years ago with his wife, says his daughter complains these Tuesday practices are her easiest yoga workouts of the week. Khosla is “tapering it to take care of the old guy,” he happily admits.

“It’s really fun.”

Before each practice, Khosla asks Nordmann how he’s feeling and if he has any physical complaints and “on the spot, she will tailor my yoga session to remedy whatever the situation,” he says. “She will change what she had planned for that lesson to incorporate yoga poses and exercises for

whatever it is that’s ailing me. That’s talented in my view.”

Khosla, 35, the founder of Naples-based wellness company Lean and Green Body, is designated as an experienced registered yoga teacher or E-RYT. She started trainings in 2011 and has since amassed more than 7,000 hours of teaching and co-leading classes. “I took my first yoga class when I was 14, and the practice has changed my life and supported me in so many ways,” she relates.

Yoga, however, is just one of three areas she focuses on; she is also a certified holistic nutritionist and mind-body wellness practitioner. The impressive alphabet soup of credentials following Khosla’s name reveals the many wellness areas she has mastered—including certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist—which she customizes based on the needs of each Lean and Green Body client.

“She’s very good at advising me in conversation about dietary issues. I may ask her about this food or that one— whatever is in my diet. If I have a question about it, she’s a holistic dietician,” says Nordmann. “She’s very helpful, actually, in my whole life.”

The drive to be physically active has been an integral part of Khosla’s life since she began dancing at the age of 3, playing sports year-round from elementary age, lifting weights as a teenager, and running avidly in high school and college. “It’s part of me,” she states simply.

Putting the Wellness Pieces Together Khosla is a Southwest Florida native. She was born in Fort Myers and had relatives “all over the state,” she says.

During her elementary school years, her family moved to 98

NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

094_BLOGGER_0422.indd 98

3/4/22 11:56 AM

Northwest Connecticut, where she grew up concocting miniworkout routines and “protein shakes” made from straight milk for her childhood friends.

An early interest in emergent medicine was inspired by her mother, a registered nurse, and father, a nurse anesthetist. But she doesn’t believe her parents’ careers were necessarily the force driving her innate desire to voraciously read nutrition books, meditate daily, begin working at a gym at age 17, become a personal trainer at age 18, or run five miles a day for a decade. “From a young age, I’ve been all about it,” she notes.

Looking back on her family’s lifestyle, she says, “We didn’t keep a lot of junk food around when I was growing up. It’s like, ‘If you know better, do better,’ so I think we ate healthy for what they knew then.”

Given her enthusiasm for sports, Khosla earned her bachelor’s degree in athletic training at Springfield College near Boston. These studies got her more deeply interested in the role of nutrition, so she continued her education with postgraduate studies in clinical dietetics at Framingham State University in Massachusetts.

After academia, Khosla embarked on a journey to La Jolla, California, where she completed her yoga teacher training and began teaching in San Diego. To be closer to family, she moved back to the Northeast, where she opened a small yoga and nutrition studio outside of Lake George, New York. It was a natural choice because “I love it there,” she says. “I wasn’t tied down and needed a change.”

In 2013, Khosla left New York for Naples to put the puzzle pieces of her knowledge and experience into a business framework, which led to officially launching Lean and Green Body in 2015 to offer wellness courses and seminars in the

Naples area.

Her book, Revitalize & Renew: 7 Days To A Healthier You, details her “nutrition-complete detox program” for eliminating toxins from the body. She also has a popular blog at leanand greenbody.com. “My target audience is women. My goal is to empower women and help them discover how amazing their bodies are naturally designed to feel,” she says. “There is something I love about connecting with other women—the energy of how we connect with one another.”

With an interest in many facets of wellness and self-care, Jennifer Khosla is equally at home in more traditional outdoor settings or interacting with the ever-expanding online wellness community.

A Growing Family—and Business After relocating to Naples, Khosla began teaching yoga classes and visited gyms and gated communities to pitch her wellness services. Little by little, she grew her client base. “I am very driven by nature,” she explains. “I eventually got several contracts around town.”

By 2019—with a studio as her headquarters on Fifth Avenue NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

South—Khosla had a small staff to facilitate personal training, yoga, and nutrition courses, as well as one-on-one workouts. She was flown to Springfield College as the keynote speaker for a wellness event, hosted a yoga retreat at Edgewater Beach Hotel, and participated in 17 events across the country. For Khosla, 2019 was a groundbreaking year, and she notes, “2020 was scheduled to be even bigger, but we all know what happened.”

Because Khosla had already established virtual instruction with seasonal Naples clients who return north in the summer, she was ready for the online migration. Other clients soon “realized it’s still a good way to connect, stay healthy, and meet goals from the comfort of your home.”

Stepping back from her growing business gave Khosla more time to spend with her husband, Ricky, a biomedical engineer and engineering supervisor at Arthrex, whom she met shortly after returning to Naples through a mutual yogi friend. “He was already doing yoga and meditation before I met him.” Ricky supports her in myriad ways: from attending her classes and events to testing “all of my recipes. And he’s brutally honest.”

The couple enjoys strolling the beach at sunset, paddleboarding, and romping in the great outdoors in ideal weather— ­ a treasure for Ricky, who hails from Ohio. As of press time, they are expecting their first child, a son, due mid-March. Khosla explains that her biggest craving has been green juice. “My baby boy is on-brand,” she jokes. “I have been plant-based for years and even more so with this pregnancy.”

And she has embraced the online wellness community as the future of her business. “We have experienced more growth than I ever expected since going virtual,” she says. “It’s allowed me a lot of space to see more clients and personally to have more time for family and to work on my own self-care.”

Nordmann is excited about her future. “She’s going to be such a great mother,” he says. “I couldn’t be happier for her.”

After talking about the strides he’s made since first engaging with Khosla, Nordmann’s insight grows deeper. “She has such a gentle approach in her personality. If I fall out of a pose or do something clumsy, I used to get mad or disappointed with myself. She’ll say, ‘That’s okay. That’s okay. This is a journey not a race. You will get it right the next time.’ She’s as much a psychology coach as a yoga teacher.… She’s one of the most important people in my life.” «

For longtime Naples residents Paul and Jeannette McCreight, there were few answers on what comes next in the healing process. Paul, a disabled Navy veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), had just participated in an intensive clinical program through Home Base, supported by the Red Sox Foundation, which provides services at no cost to those battling with the invisible wounds of war. The Boston-based program led them to a place closer to home: the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center (NTRC).

NTRC is an organization offering equine-facilitated psychotherapy as a means of improving mental and behavioral health. Its horses provide thousands of hours of service each year. The center has seen significant growth through the trying years of the pandemic, and

the time—the horses do not judge you; we do not judge you.”

Haven witnesses daily the newly formed bonds between these magnificent animals and the people they are helping, including those who have lost a loved one suddenly. “We paint the horses,” she explains of the four- to six-week bereavement therapy

in fact, there is currently a waiting list to join.

The McCreights participated in NTRC’s Operation Strides, a hands-on, ground-based (no-riding) program offering equine-assisted learning opportunities to veterans and their families.

“It’s amazing to be around such a great animal,” says Paul. “It’s very calming, soothing. Horses can sense a human heart within 6 feet. The horse really knows what’s going on with the person who’s handling them.”

The center’s lead instructor Lea Haven, equine specialist in mental health and learning, has been working with horses for 20 years. A modern-day Dr. Dolittle in her own right, she understands the horses and the benefits they afford to the center’s participants.

“The horses give them the freedom to be themselves,” Haven says. “I tell our participants that all

Paul McCreight and his wife, Jeannette, have experienced the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center’s programs firsthand.

INCREDIBLE ACT: IMPROV WITH HORSES Naples Therapeutic Riding Center offers an innovative program involving theatrical improv, steered by Director of Community Education & Wellness Craig Price of The Naples Players. Though the two organizations have enjoyed a partnership for some time, Price says it became personal when his own kids starting riding at the center.

“My wife and I say the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center saved our lives and still does every day,” he says.

To work alongside Price, the center first approached Bryce Alexander, executive artistic director for The Naples Players, referencing a therapeutic improv-withhorses program, taking place at the time in England. The center wanted to replicate it in the U.S., where there was nothing like it.

Teaming up, the two organizations offered a program geared toward teachers preparing to return to in-person learning environments after COVID-related isolations.

“The isolation has really affected everybody and really brought mental illness and all these anxieties in life to the surface,” Price notes. “When these classes started, we were able to help people right away.”

Price was amazed to see the weight lifted from many shoulders, including his own. I never knew how much it would help me and the other adults we were working with,” Price explains. “It was amazing to watch.”

Navy veteran Paul McCreight’s experience with The Naples Players came full circle as he performed with them prior to his injuries. He was able to participate in a few improv sessions and recalls an incredible moment he’ll never forget.

“I took a certain pose one time—like a ‘ta-da,’” Paul says, “and the horse stepped up and did almost the same pose. It was awesome!”

program. “People really release their emotions in a painting; they tell their story.”

For many participants, it’s an hour where they don’t have to think about anything but themselves in that present moment with the horse. It’s an hour of relaxation and learning and a break from everyday struggles.

“Our participants take [the horses] for a walk around the arena, and we encourage them to tell the horse what they did that day or if they’ve lost a person suddenly,” expounds Haven. “I’ve seen them standing there talking to the horse … and the horse just lowers its head. They feel that; they feel that emotion from the person.”

A therapy horse is a special one, and it requires strength from the participant to engage and lower their guard. No previous experience with horses is necessary, and there’s no age restrictions—the center sees ages 4 to 84.

During the pandemic, the center has provided complimentary services to frontline professionals and providers, including doctors, nurses, and teachers.

VOLUNTEERS WELCOME

l To keep things trotting along, Naples Therapeutic Riding Center heavily relies upon volunteers.

In fact, volunteers are needed now and in the future, as the center looks to expand its services.

“

IF WE DON’T TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CARE OF US AND OUR CHILDREN, HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE AS A SOCIETY?” —Missy Lamont

right now on top of all the other amazing programs we offer; we have really been able to think of the need during this crisis and come up with new programs,” says Executive Director Missy Lamont. “If we don’t take care of the people who take care of us and our children, how are we going to survive as a society?”

Lamont has served as executive director since 2018 and has been involved since 2008, first starting as a volunteer. “I loved horses, and I was looking for a way to give back,” she says. “We have over 450 volunteers, and they are so important to our organization. We have a large waiting list for therapeutic riders, so we’ll be expanding.”

Lamont explains that equine therapy can work in myriad ways, but empowerment is key: “It’s about how empowered you feel when you get this 1,200-pound animal to respect you, to follow you, to walk with you,” says Lamont.

In 2020, the center added two miniature horses to their herd as a means of easier travel to provide services to nurs-

ing homes and rehabilitation centers where people were not able to leave. “We wanted to make our services accessible by coming to them,” says Lamont. “These horses bring smiles to people’s faces. They have such patience and compassion.”

For Paul, he hopes to volunteer someday. “It’s absolutely amazing that someone came up with the concept of doing this as a way to help people mentally and emotionally and somewhat physically,” he says.

“It’s like an escape from reality,” adds Jeannette, Paul’s wife. “You can focus on what’s in front of you, and nothing else matters. However Paul is feeling physically that day, it still works. The environment brings a lot of joy and fulfillment. It’s an incredible experience.”

“I’ve always made my own future and then life changed because of previous injuries, and this transition was a very easy thing to do,” says Paul, though nervous at the start. “I’m so glad that I went, and that they held my spot for me.” (naplesthera peuticridingcenter.org) « NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

SIMONE JARDIM REIGNS SUPREME AMONG WOMEN PICKLEBALLERS

QUEEN

OF THE COURT

Like many people, Simone Jardim was drawn to Southwest Florida for the weather. She was attending a tennis conference in Naples in December 2015, and it was snowing back at her Michigan home. “I remember sending a photo of the beach to my husband and asking why we lived in Michigan,” Jardim says.

When Jardim came back to Naples in April 2016 to play in the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships, her husband joined her, and they scoured properties with a Realtor. They quit their jobs,

sold their house, and moved their family to Naples a few months later without having anything else lined up. “It was a total gamble,” Jardim says. “I did not commit to anything coming here.”

The move paid off for her. Jardim—considered by many as pro pickleball’s greatest female player of all time—was now living in the hotbed of the sport. “Pickleball was not the main reason why we moved here,” Jardim says. “We looked at other places in Florida, but Naples is a beautiful city. We love living here. The kids

have great schools. We’ve made so many friends.”

Though not the impetus for naming herself a Neapolitan, pickleball has become a big part of Jardim’s life, and not only for the social aspect of making friends in a new place. It turned into her next career.

FORMER RACKET Jardim grew up in Brazil five minutes from a tennis club. After school, she and her two older brothers would spend the afternoon on the courts. She played in her first national tournament at age 8, following her brothers into the tournament circuit. The siblings kept their passion for NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

In addition to playing pickleball professionally, Simone Jardim is an experienced instructor. Below, she works with student Tom McDowell.

CATCH THE ACTION

Naples will host the largest pickleball tournament in the world, with 60 courts of play, free admission ($5 to park), and food vendors.

The Sixth Annual Minto U.S. Open Pickleball Championships April 23-30, 2022 East Naples Community Park 3500 Thomasson Drive, Naples usopenpickleball championship.com racket sports. Her brother Marcello is a professional padel player in Spain, while brother Rodrigo teaches tennis in Brazil.

As a teenager, Jardim considered becoming a professional tennis player. “I was obsessed with Steffi Graf,” Jardim says of the tennis champ and role model she has yet to meet. “I heard she and Agassi are getting into pickleball,” she adds with a smile.

Jardim disliked all the traveling tennis involved, so she ruled out going pro. She loved the sport she excelled in, though. She was recruited to play tennis for Auburn University in Alabama, staying for two years before transferring to California State University, Fresno (Fresno State), where she was a two-time All-American doubles player. In both 2001 and 2002, Jardim and her doubles partner competed in the NCAA Tournament, finishing both years ranked in the top 10 nationally.

After college, Jardim became a successful tennis coach, first as an assistant at Fresno State. Following a year as assistant coach at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, Jardim became women’s head tennis coach at Michigan State University (MSU) in 2009. Under her leadership, the team had two of its three most successful seasons, with records of 17-9 in 2014 and 16-9 in 2015.

But for Jardim, it wasn’t always about the records. “Being a coach, especially in college, is a huge responsibility because you’re not just coaching tennis, you’re developing young women,” Jardim says. “I always wanted to push the kids and make them better on the courts and off as well.”

FOLLOW THE BOUNCING BALL While Jardim’s focus was on tennis, a similar sport was taking root just outside the MSU courts.

She didn’t know anything about pickleball when a friend encouraged her to try it. “It was a great workout, and we had a ton of laughs,” Jardim recalls of her introduction to the sport.

From then on, she skipped lunch to play pickleball. She also joined a Wednesday night league, where she met Corrine Carr, who became her pickleball partner for many years. Jardim then entered a national pickleball tournament in Arizona, winning singles and mixed doubles and earning silver with Carr for women’s doubles. “I got a little money and said, ‘This is a great hobby. I’m getting paid to play,’” she recalls.

In addition to the athleticism of the sport, Jardim says she likes pickleball for the sense of community among players and even the chatter on the courts, which she explains swings counter to the silence of tennis. “In pickleball, someone is always talking after you play a point,” she says. In pickleball’s smaller court, playing partners and opponents are closer to each other, which encourages interaction. Jardim says pickleball is an easy game to learn and play, which means people of all ages meet on the courts.

She holds 36 Professional Pickleball Association titles, more than any other female player in the sport’s history, and was ranked the No. 1 fe-

male player in the world from 2016 to 2020. She is a six-time National Open champion, eight-time Tournament of Champions Open champion, and a seventime U.S. Open champion, winning the U.S. Open Triple Crown twice.

Jardim attributes part of her pickleball success to being a “touch” tennis player. “I have good hands,” she says. “That’s where it helped.”

MASTER CLASS FOR SIMONE JARDIM’S She also says her years of coaching made FREE TIPS, TRICKS, AND her very analytical, so she has studied all PICKLEBALL STRATEGIES, VISIT the intricacies of the game.

Nobody played with a twohanded backhand, and now most women do.”

She is admired by people in the game, including Ben Johns, Jardim’s frequent doubles partner who currently is the highest ranked men’s player in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. “She’s the ideal partner,” says Johns, who lived in Estero for a year.

“She’s a mental warrior, and nobody’s more skilled than her. I admire her game in every way.”

I try to avoid it as much as possible.” ● She is not good at all sports. “I’m terrible at golf. I’m sure I would be decent, but I would have to invest the time to be proficient.” ●

She binges television. “I love watching Ozark and Billions.” ● She’s into intermittent fasting. “I try not to eat until the afternoon. I have a six- to sevenhour window.” ● She may not compete as much going forward. “My traveling career will be over after this year. My kids are coming to a crucial age; I feel it’s extremely important that I be close to home.” ●

GROWING THE SPORT Today Jardim is an International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association–certified instructor as well as co-director of Peak Performance Pickleball Academy. She also partners with Nike Sports Camps to run clinics nationwide.

“She’s very encouraging,” says Audrey Bamberger, a Naples resident who has taken weekly lessons with Jardim for four years. “She’s really taught me how to keep my head in the game, form points, and beat people you never thought you could beat. She is amazing at the strategy.” Bamberger assists with the Simone Jardim Foundation, which helps develop young athletes who show prowess with the sport. “Simone’s trying to build the sport from the bottom up,” Bamberger says. “Everybody she touches she leaves a really positive feeling. She’s such a good-hearted person.”

Jardim says she hopes pickleball grows more internationally, becomes an Olympic sport, and burgeons in a collegiate environment. “I think it will become a mainstream sport,” she asserts. Jardim encourages people to try the game: “It is easy to pick up, and you’ll have many laughs and many great memories.” «

STEPS HYGGE to Finding Bliss through

Born of dark, cold Scandinavian winters, this lifestyle promotes comfort anywhere— even in sunny Southwest Florida

BY MICHELE MEYER

HYGGE-SPEAK Hyggebukser: The sweatpants you don’t want your neighbors to see Hyggekrog: A book nook Hyggespreder: Someone who spreads hygge Familiehygge: When you hunker down with kin Hyggesokker: Woolen socks Hyggesnak: Charming small talk

C

ozy contentment. It’s that feeling when you bond with a book, cuddle with your kids, or stroll barefoot on a beach. Those with lingering effects from the pandemic may need it now more than ever.

If that includes you, try a Danish philosophy that wraps all soul-healing and heart-warming succor into one word: hygge (pronounced hoo-gah).

Like croissants and Christmas trees, it originated in Europe—in this case, Scandinavia.

Danes, who claim to be the happiest

folk on earth, are sometimes credited with coining the term in the 1800s to signify coziness, comfort, and camaraderie. But it comes from sixteenth-century Norway’s hugga, a word meaning “to comfort” that’s linked to “hug.”

During long, bleak winters, Scandinavians always needed hygge. Now we, with our own long, bleak isolation also may need to be hygge huggers to vanquish pandemic blues.

Yes, the time for an antidote to gloom has come, even among Florida’s palm trees and sun.

NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

3/1/22 3:59 PM

It’s not new on our radar. The New Yorker declared 2016 “The Year of Hygge,” after the Oxford Languages’ short list for “Word of the Year” included it. As the trend spread across the pond, Pinterest and The New York Times also signed on. Broadway’s 2018 musical Frozen even opened its second act with the song “Hygge” (which is not in the animated original). Hygge-themed books became a cottage industry, with more than 50 to date.

Still unsure what all the fuss is about? Here are six ways to be consciously comfy in the pursuit of pleasure:

1

SAVOR SMALL MOMENTS Let’s start by hitting the pause button on hygge hype. Its true meaning revolves around feelings—and they’re free. When The New Yorker labeled hygge as “unabashedly bourgeois,” it missed the point.

Serenity cannot be bought via hand-knit mug cozies on Etsy, wallpaper on Hygge & West, toy carrot cars on Hygge Life, board games on Hygge Games, hygge curtains on Lush Decor, or black tea and mint hygge-scented candles on Skandinavisk. Nor do you need a subscription service such as Hygge Box to deliver it monthly. Instead, DIY and leap into the well of well-being. Laugh. Love. Linger.

2

FEATHER YOUR NEST

Create a hygge haven by focusing on how decor feels rather than looks. Think soft throw pillows and plush rugs. “Just hugging your purring cat or a soft pillow will lift your spirits,” says Cynthia Ochoa Yzaguirre, a Naples-based mental health counselor and yoga teacher at Focused Healing. Your happy space can be a nook where you curl up with a cozy mystery (not a gruesome Nordic thriller) or a nest made of soft throw pillows where you snuggle.

3

BRING THE GREAT OUTDOORS INSIDE

We’re not suggesting you drag your rustic picnic table indoors.

But wooden furniture and floors and snuggly natural fabrics are homier than artificial materials. You also can hang pictures of nature, grow fragrant herbs, decorate with bonsai trees and other plants, and open windows. Yzaguirre suggests placing water fountains inside your home, not just outside. “Water is so calming,” she says. “That’s one reason we gravitate to waterfalls and rivers.”

126

WARM UP

In the Sunshine State, crackling fires aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, given the climate.

However, you can add hyggestyle warmth with the glow of candles. Yzaguirre suggests pine-scented varieties. Painting your walls with hot hues such as tomato red, peach, sienna, and amber can lift your spirits, too, as can the delicious aroma and taste of freshly baked cookies or whipped-cream-topped hot cocoa.

TAKE A HIKE

“Being outside is spiritual,” says Karen P. Forman, a psychotherapist at Naples’ Betterfly Counseling. “There’s nothing more powerful than opening yourself to nature.”

For Forman, a state of mindfulness seems to be key. “Even sitting on your patio and being attentive can restore your well-being,” she explains.

“I love to look at the clouds. Like snowflakes, no two are alike—but they’re all gorgeous.”

Yzaguirre adds that the outdoors also have the power to wash away the blues by engaging multiple senses: “If you walk among trees, you can hear birds chirp and leaves rustle while shadows dance on the ground. On the beach, you can taste, smell, and feel the salty air. You can listen to seagulls and crashing waves while your face is warmed by the sun and your feet cooled by the water.”

6

PLAY WITH YOUR PREFERRED PEOPLE

Keep it oldschool and WiFi-free with puzzles and board games, not computer contests.

“Have a weekend with the girls or your family. Or go for an endorphin-spiking run—whatever brings you joy,” Yzaguirre says. “Those experiences last in your heart and mind. And when you remember them, you’ll smile again.” «

Lost in Translation Maybe because it’s a foreign concept, hygge can be misconstrued by non-Danes. That’s why tips from some online hygge advocates often sound clueless. Among suggestions we found that miss the mark:

Wear black—or as Elle UK says, “A happy Dane is an appropriately dressed Dane.”

Leave that to the folks in Denmark. Instead, don sweatpants and cheerful, bright colors— not what could resemble the trappings of mourning. ●

Make traditional tebirkes—poppy seed rolls from an uber-complicated recipe. Go with something simpler, like wienerbrød, aka danishes. Or better yet, chocolate chip cookies. ●

Eat porridge for dinner. Ordering tasty takeout from Baleen is far more “hygge.” ●

Hang fluorescent lights. Leave those in the office and light up your life with scented candles and small lamps. ●

“I was one of those students who walked into medical school saying I wanted to be a family doctor,” says Dr. Paul Jones, a Naples concierge doctor whose soft-spoken voice conveys a calming bedside manner. “A lot of students don’t go into primary care because of the administrative burden.”

For Jones, the choice was simple. He wanted to be like his mother, a family doctor in rural Jamaica who shared a special connection with her patients. “She was the only doctor for a good while around, and I saw how important it was for her to be part of the community,” he recalls.

Jones arrived in Naples via the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and a residency in St. Petersburg. He took over the long-time practice of Louis Moore, who retired in 1990. After 18 years, Jones felt overburdened by administrative duties, spending much of his time navigating a complicated insurance system ruled by profit margins.

He partnered with fellow family physician Hermes O. Koop in 2008 to open a concierge medicine practice, which he describes as a true partnership between physician and patient.

Concierge practices don’t accept insurance. Instead, patients pay an annual retainer, allowing family doctors to reduce average patient counts of 2,500 to 3,500 by 80 percent.

As a result, patients experience more personal, comprehensive medical care.

“It was scary at first,” Jones admits. “But I knew deep down it would be the best way to care for patients. I have more time to help and discuss problems in depth.”

Jones was named the 2014 NCH Healthcare System Physician of the Year by his peers. As a member of the North Naples Rotary Club, he led missions to build an asthma clinic, a school, and a playground in Jamaica and to repair homes in the aftermath of hurricanes. He is a founding board member of the Neighborhood Health Clinic, providing free care for Collier County’s 60,000 working poor since 1999.

“I love what I do,” Jones says. “I go to work every day knowing I’m going to help someone live a better, healthier life.

WORLDRENOWNED RADIATION ONCOLOGIST IN NAPLES Jay Loeffler, a leading pioneer in stereotactic radiosurgery, provides cutting-edge cancer care

Dr. Jay Loeffler was looking forward to retirement in his new home in Naples. The doctor had completed 36 years as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and 20 as chairman of radiation oncology at Massachusetts General, the university’s teaching hospital. Loeffler’s retirement lasted all of two days. “I decided to go bankrupt and live on the beach,” he says with a good-natured laugh. “Then Bruce called.”

That’s Bruce Nakfoor, a former student and Naples radiation oncologist who had recently opened Inspire Oncology with two colleagues.

His short-lived retirement is a major coup for Naples and cancer patients. A leading expert in radiation and proton therapy for brain tumors, Loeffler is world-renowned for groundbreaking research in technology and procedures that today are the gold standard in treatment options.

Loeffler discovered radiation oncology by happenstance. A student at Brown University Medical School with an interest in cancer medicine, he applied for a summer fellowship at the National Cancer Institute. “Surgery and medical oncology were filled,” he says. “The only space was in radiation oncology.”

He completed his residency at the Harvard Joint Center for Radiation Therapy and soon found his calling in treating tumors of the central nervous system. Loeffler is also the former director of the proton therapy center at Harvard/Massachusetts General and has authored textbooks and copious papers.

Among his many accolades are peer-nominated membership in the National Academy of Medicine and numerous lifetime achievement awards.

Trading ivy-covered academia for hands-on practice has been interesting, Loeffler says. At Mass General he saw patients one day a week. At Inspire, he is now in three days a week.

Former patients have tracked down Loeffler to Naples.

“It’s amazing to me that patients were crying when they called in for a follow-up and found out I was retiring,” he says.

“I’m most proud of changing the quality of life and improving the survival of thousands of patients.” —Nanci Theoret

MANAGING PAIN WITH CARE AND COMPASSION

Chaturani Ranasinghe applies holistic, whole-body approach to pain management Dr. Chaturani Ranasinghe knows all too well the psychological toll sickness and poor health can cause patients. “I had an illness as a child,” she recalls. “I felt isolated and marginalized because no one understood what I was going through.”

While attending the University of Miami School of Medicine, Ranasinghe thought back to her childhood experience, envisioning a place where different specialists worked collaboratively to determine the best possible care for a patient.

Rotations in anesthesiology and pain management fine-tuned her vision.

“It felt like everything I’d been thinking about,” she says. “In pain management, there’s a collaboration with neurologists and a patient’s primary-care physician.”

Board-certified in both anesthesiology and interventional pain management, Ranasinghe recently left private practice in Naples to join Jaffe Sports Medicine, whose four locations in Naples, North Naples, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral expand her reach. She specializes in integrative pain management, a holistic, whole-body approach, often combining Western medicine with Eastern therapies. Lower-back, neck, and joint pain caused by injury, degeneration, and lifestyle are the most common ailments she treats.

Managing pain is part science, part art. Treatment plans are as individual as the patient and their goals, with options including pain-blocking injections, physical therapy, and medication.

“You have to be realistic with patients. Are we managing the pain or is the pain managing you?” she asks. In solo practice, Ranasinghe often used acupuncture and acupressure to complement traditional treatments.

“The Western approach to medicine casts a stigma for certain diseases—lack of willpower; it’s psychological,” she says. “In Chinese medicine, you look for an imbalance in the body’s systems, the flow of energy. There’s no blame for behavior, no judgment. The Chinese have a very different approach to illness.”

Ranasinghe also seeks to decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness in her patients. “It’s the best feeling to connect to someone who needs that compassion and level of care,” she explains. “The biggest thing for my patients is they are not alone.

There are options.” —Nanci Theoret

BRANDON KIRSCH, MD, FAAD Originally from the beautiful but wintry city of Toronto, Canada, Dr. Kirsch long dreamt of a coastal Florida lifestyle. Over the course of months, he and his wife drove up and down Florida with their newborn daughter to find he perfect place.

Having visited many outstanding communities, they counted to three and blurted out their favorite choice. Simultaneously, both said Naples. Although they did not know anyone here, Dr. Kirsch says it was an easy choice, “Naples is paradise to us.”

His goal was to create a patient-focused dermatology practice, which would become synonymous with exceptional care, compassion, and innovation. With singular dedication to the highest standards of service, Kirsch Dermatology has quickly grown over the past two years and his family has expanded with the birth of another daughter.

Interestingly, Dr. Kirsch began his career as a corporate lawyer.

Inspired by his grandfather, he changed course, completing medical school at Brown University, an internship at the Mayo Clinic, and dermatology residency at the University of North Carolina. He has

held leadership roles at two publicly traded biotech companies, where his involvement in research has led to a host of publications and the development of new therapeutics.

The Kirsch Dermatology office, which is located on the top floor of the Bayfront Professional Center, offers serene, wellnesspromoting views of Naples Bay. The location is also convenient for the patients, including those who have arrived by boat. “The intent is to deliver a calming, private, and reassuring experience,” said Dr. Kirsch, who also doubles as division chief for dermatology at Naples Community Hospital.

Providing an elevated level of service is important to Dr. Kirsch due to his belief that a better experience leads to improved outcomes.

Patients know from the moment they are welcomed and offered a healthy snack, refreshing beverage, and free skin care products that they will be taken care of—and cared for—at every visit. “They are not a number,” he says. “We are a family business, and our patients are part of that family. There are no automated phone trees at Kirsch Dermatology.”

GERIATRIC MEDICINE

GLENN M. FLANAGAN, MD Dr. Glenn M. Flanagan is double board certified in anesthesiology and interventional pain management.

He is excited to be at the forefront of the emerging fiel of orthobiologics—precise, image-guided injections with autologous platelet, plasma, and bone marrow products.

Dr. Flanagan treats spine, joint, and most musculoskeletal injuries. He has co-authored textbook chapters, contributed to published research on optimizing bone marrow aspirations, and he teaches to an international audience at Gulf Coast Biologics. Adding orthobiologic treatments to his training in X-ray-guided spine treatments, ultrasound guided nerve blocks, and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound helped him establish a practice where he focuses on healing and functional improvements, as well as pain management. Partnering with the nonprofit organization Veterans in Pain has given him the opportunity to provide numerous veterans with these specialized orthobiologic treatments over the last few years. He has a reputation as a caring physician who listens and spends time with each patient developing customized plans. In 2019, he opened his private practice, Naples Regenerative Institute.

TOP DOCTORS OF 2022

JONATHAN K. JAY, MD Jonathan K. Jay, M.D., is board-certifie in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery and urology. He has been practicing medicine for 25 years and for the past 20 years he has been selected as a top doctor in Naples.

Dr. Jay completed his fellowship training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Throughout his training, he received numerous honors and awards including Outstanding Resident Training Award and Lansing School District Distinguished Alumni Award.

His areas of interest include urodynamics and bladder dysfuntion as well as urogynecology. He is involved in clinical research, including clinical trials for the minimally invasive correction of bladder control problems. Dr. Jay has significan experience in laparoscopic surgery and in robotic surgery using the da Vinci© surgical system. “The advantage with robotic surgery is it can get into tiny spaces where you can’t get your hand,” he says. “It is minimally invasive surgery, and the surgical fiel is magnified.

Helping people is his favorite part of his job. He wants his patients, both men and women, to understand their diagnosis, its genesis, and their options for treatment. “Sometimes I’ll get patients with the same problems who want two different outcomes,” he says. “I defin the treatment’s positives and negatives. If it’s not life-threatening, some choose to do nothing−and that’s not a bad thing. It’s about quality of life. That’s why I’m different from other doctors.”

Dr. Jay likens his discussions with patients to Paul Harvey’s famous tagline, “That’s the rest of the story.” Says Dr. Jay: “I get so much wisdom from my patients that they change my life. They make my tomorrows so much better.”

ROLANDO RIVERA, MD Rolando Rivera, M.D., a board-certifie urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery was among the firs surgeons in Southwest Florida to use the da Vinci® surgery robotic surgical system to repair vaginal prolapse. He and his partner are the firs in the nation to implement an in-offic and ASC setting Peer to Peer Immersion program for UroLift. He also offers men and women suffering from overactive bladder and urinary incontinence InterStim® neuromodulatoin therapy and Botox® injections in the bladder. “We pride ourselves in being state-of-the art, and it is a very broad field I do enjoy that,” he says.

With expertise in all urological diseases and erectile dysfunction, Dr. Rivera also offers endoscopic procedures, laser procedures, and laparoscopic surgery.

Throughout his career, he has written multiple abstracts on a variety of topics for urological meetings and preceptors for students.

Dr. Rivera started his medical career as a general medical doctor in the U.S. Army. Surgical issues are what firs attracted him to medicine, but once in practice, he realized his patients were what he truly enjoyed. “I’ve had longstanding relationships with patients for years since I started practicing in 2006, and in some specialties you don’t have that,” Dr. Rivera says.

Being involved with the community is also important to Dr. Rivera. He is a past president of the Florida Urological Society and is an active member in the Physician Led Access Network (PLAN), a nonprofi network of health professionals who help provide access to quality health care for low-income and uninsured adult residents in Collier County.

“I’m just a regular guy trying to do what I can for my family, my patients, and my community,” he says.

Street ART

By Mark Spivak

VANESSA ROGERS

Although this Naples restaurant is more famous for authentic Japanese sushi, the Berkshire pork belly bun is one of the most popular dishes on Namba’s menu. The pork belly meat is kept in a low-heat marinade for 24 hours, then placed in a hot chashu broth for several minutes to complete the cooking process. The buns are served with lettuce, pickled cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, and hoisin sauce. “Variations on pork buns are found on the menu of almost every ramen shop in Japan,” says chef Pitak “Koko” Hermkhunthod. “I wanted to present a street food item that is commonly eaten in Japan; it’s both comfort food and also art on a plate.” (nambanaples.com)

After 18 years as chef/proprietor of Rumrunners in Cape Coral, Todd Johnson has come home to Naples.

“Rumrunners was very successful,” he says, “but it was also very big—350 seats and almost 10,000 square feet, so I was never able to do the food I loved doing. I wanted something smaller, and I also wanted to return to Naples, where I’ve lived since 1979.”

For Healthy Eats, HEAD EAST

If you like Turco Taco, you’ll love Simit Fresh Mediterranean. Yavuz “Oz” Ozturk and Ivo Milanoski opened their new restaurant in East Naples in January, with the goal of blending cuisines from the Eastern Mediterranean countries of Turkey, Macedonia, Serbia, and Lebanon.

“Most of the recipes we’re working with are dishes that were taught to us by our parents and grandparents,” says Milanoski. “We have the same philosophy that made us successful at Turco Taco—organic produce, hormone-free meats, and everything made fresh in-house every day.”

He explains that simit is a Turkish bread—like a bagel but fluffier—that forms the basis for the street food of many Mediterranean cultures.

The menu is more expansive than at Turco Taco. It begins with spreads such as tzatziki, baba ganoush, and several types of hummus. Other options include organic salads served with simit crostini. The signature items include the Simit Sandwich (Turkish sausage, cheese, red pepper spread, arugula, and pickled jalapeño) and a mixed grill of beef, lamb, chicken, and kefta (similar to meatballs). Guests may customize their own bowls by choosing the base, proteins, toppings, and sauces.

Simit Fresh Mediterranean has a total of 40 seats indoors and outdoors and offers table service in addition to carryout and delivery. The owners are committed to sharing a healthier lifestyle and better eating habits. (simitfresh.com)

Philipp Pfunder, a Paso Robles, California-based winemaker, was born in Germany and moved to Miami at age 10. While learning his craft, he studied in New Zealand and worked harvests each year in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

When he wants to relax, he comes to Naples.

“My mother moved here 30 years ago, and my sister also lives in town,” says Pfunder. “I’ve always felt at home in Naples—for many years, it was really the only home I had.”

After stints at Bordeaux’s Château Angélus and Napa’s Screaming Eagle and HdV, Pfunder visited Paso Robles on vacation. It was love at first sight. “I had no idea that California was so well-suited to Rhône varieties,” he says.

Pfunder is currently the winemaker at Law Estate Wines, a boutique property that turns out between 7,000

SPANISH CLASS When John Colon came to Naples for a family visit in 2015, he fell in love with the city and decided to stay. One thing he noticed was a lack of good Spanish cuisine, so he began a quest to find the right location and partner to launch an authentic restaurant.

Ultimately, he met Dr. Orlando Fernandez, owner of Barbosa Kitchen on Fourth Avenue North. The two men realized they shared the same vision. Colon bought out the retiring chef, Edgar Barbosa, and entered into a partnership with Fernandez. They expanded into the space next door, redesigned, rebranded, and opened as Bodega Olé.

“I always felt Naples needed

a high-end, fine-dining Spanish restaurant,” says Colon. “I worked as a restaurant manager at the Four Seasons hotels in [Los Angeles] and New York, along with Ian Schrager’s boutique hotels in Manhattan, and I wanted to apply that experience to my combined Spanish and Puerto Rican heritage.”

The menu at Bodega Olé reads like a roll call of Iberian classics. Beginning with appetizers such as grilled octopus, blood sausage, and tortilla española, it moves on to suckling pig and three varieties of paella. The Latin influence is evident in dishes like croquetas and slow-roast-

For Colon, the appeal of Spain’s cuisine goes beyond the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. “It’s hearty comfort fare that is also fun, with lots of small plates for people to share and enjoy,” he says. (bodegaolenaples.com)

EAT DRINK OFF THE VINE

Define the Wine

We debunk some of the most common labels on bottles today

By Mark Spivak

For those of us focused on healthy living and social responsibility, the content of what we consume is becoming more and more important. Grape growing and wine production— two areas traditionally not subjected to much scrutiny—are suddenly being examined for practices that are beneficial to both individuals and the community. Terms such as organic, biodynamic, sustainable, and natural are appearing on wine labels, without any explanation of what they mean. Here, we provide a brief guide.

ORGANIC: To be certified as organic by either the USDA or CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers), producers must pass a lengthy examination of both their vineyard and cellar practices. If a wine is labeled as certified organic, it has been grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers and it does not contain any added sulfites. However, a label may proclaim that the grapes were “organically grown,” which allows the use of certain processing additives, or it may list a percentage of organically grown grapes.

Does an organic wine taste better? Not necessarily. Consumers should also be aware that the low sulfite content of these wines translates to a shorter shelf life, so plan on drinking them sooner rather than later.

BIODYNAMIC: A wine labeled as biodynamic has been certified by either Demeter or Biodyvin; the grapes are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or chemicals, and they are free of GMOs and sulfites during the winemaking process. The biodynamic movement

strives to regard the entire vineyard as a single organism and requires that vintners time their planting schedules with lunar cycles to ensure the best agricultural health. A wine can also be labeled as “made with biodynamic grapes,” meaning that the grapes were grown according to Demeter standards, but the cellar practices have not been verified.

Generally, you can assume that a biodynamic wine is made with the lowest possible intervention standards. Like organic wine, though, the low sulfite levels may affect the shelf life.

SUSTAINABLE: Here’s where it gets complicated. In general, a sustainable wine may be grown with vineyard biodiversity, water

184 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

184_POUR_0422.indd 184

3/3/22 3:08 PM

conservation, and renewable energy such as solar—or it may not.

It’s important to remember that a certified sustainable wine isn’t necessarily made with organic grapes or without additives. Of the many third-party certifications, these are the major ones: ● Certified Sustainable, administered by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, uses a complicated set of metrics including greenhouse gas emissions and water, energy, and nitrogen use. ● SIP (Sustainability in Practice) has a rigorous set of practices including canopy management, cultivation of cover crops, energyefficient equipment, packaging reuse to prevent waste, and employee safety. ● LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology), based in the Pacific Northwest, enforces a strict checklist of requirements for both the vineyard and the cellar. ● Napa Green certifies both vineyards and wineries in a soil-to-bottle stewardship program for Napa Valley wine estates. ● Salmon-Safe promotes farming practices in California and the Pacific Northwest that protect water quality and safeguard the marine habitat.

NATURAL: This is the murkiest category of all since there is no certifying body and no official definition of what the term means. In general, it refers to a movement among winegrowers to revert to simpler, more traditional methods, which may or may not include growing grapes without pesticides and chemical fertilizers and making wine without additives. You can assume that your natural wine is likely produced by a small grower from organically or sustainably grown grapes, fermented with no added yeast, and made with little or no added sulfites. «

Minding Your MIND

Feeling burnt out at work? You’re not the only one—which is why workplace mental health is this month’s focus of the Mind Your Mind initiative at Naples-based David Lawrence Centers for Behavioral Health (DLC). The initiative commenced after DLC noticed rising numbers of mental health issues pre-pandemic, followed by the delivery of a record number of services in 2021. Spotlighted each month is a different mental health issue, from isolation to children’s mental health to substance abuse recovery.

According to DLC president and CEO Scott Bur-

gess, the yearlong project aims to raise awareness and provide support for mental health challenges in the community. If residents take one thing from the Mind Your Mind initiative, Burgess wants it to be not feeling ashamed or worried about seeking help. “You can’t have overall health and wellness without having strong mental health and wellness,” he says.

DLC offers many helpful resources on workplace mental health. Or, for some quick tips on best practices for coping with work-related blues, turn the page. (davidlawrencecenters.org) NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2022

MAGIC IN THE MOMENT

TIPS to Shake the BURNOUT BLUES

1

RECOGNIZE BURNOUT SO YOU CAN ADDRESS IT. Workplace burnout can affect your career but may have serious ramifications on health, too. Research published in PLOS One found that burnout was associated with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, persistent fatigue, and depression—among others. If you notice burnout symptoms, don’t ignore them.

2

TALK WITH YOUR WORK MANAGER. Sometimes, burnout can be caused by unclear job requirements, lack of support, or feeling that you’re unable to do your job to your full potential.

Having an open conversation with your manager may allow you to address some of these issues.

3

IMPROVE YOUR WORK-LIFE BALANCE. Maintaining a healthy balance between your work and your personal life may help reduce stress and burnout. Establishing boundaries, such as avoiding replying to work emails on the weekend, might help.

4

A recent study published in the journal Emotion reported that 63 percent of participants felt bored at least once within a 10-day period. According to Ivette Gomez, a counselor and yoga instructor in Naples, the issue is internal. She points out that our lives tend to be cyclical, with the actions you perform every day possibly leading to feelings of boredom. The essential part, however, is your mindset. “We

PRACTICE SELF-CARE. Get enough sleep and take time for activities you enjoy. Regular exercise, practicing mindfulness, or yoga could help. In fact, a small study published in Sustainability found that yoga sessions for eight weeks reduced physical and mental fatigue, increased self-awareness, and improved burnout symptoms in teachers.

5

REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT. Talking to co-workers, family, friends, or a mental health professional may help you manage stress and reduce burnout.

GOALS

RECOVERING TOGETHER

Pursuing substance abuse treatment while in a local jail, one young woman rediscovered her dream of working in real estate—and achieved it. “Fast forward to today, she’s sold so many homes and helped so many people that are in recovery,” says Together on Purpose co-founder Rose Young, who worked with the woman and recently attended her wedding. Rose and her husband, Vaughn Young, started the Naples-based nonprofit to support people in life transitions, particularly those reentering the community from incarceration. However, the organization assists veterans who need help and youths transitioning to college, too. The Youngs use their backgrounds—Rose’s work in addiction counseling and Vaughn’s personal experiences and expertise as a career coordinator—to connect with clients and fill in gaps where support is needed. “It’s not enough to just give out suits” for job interviews, Vaughn explains. “Most people coming home from incarceration, one of the things they definitely don’t have is health care to deal with the mental health component” of the transition. Together on Purpose provides diverse services, including sober-living opportunities, mental health referrals, ongoing accountability, and mentoring. They’re also creating a job certification program to help clients stay on track and excel.

Adds Rose, “recovery is not just stopping drugs and alcohol; recovery is self-discovery.” (topinc.org)

have to see life afresh,” Gomez explains, noting that each situation you may find boring actually has thousands of possibilities. To gain a new outlook, she suggests focusing on living in the present, reflecting on your inner state, and working to shift your perception to find fulfillment. She also recommends activities like yoga, going for a bike ride, journaling, or simply walking barefoot outside to center in the moment. “We live in paradise here. We have everything we need,” she notes. “Look for poetry and magic in everything that we have around.” (ivettegomez.com)

STRAIGHT SPINES

Dr. T. Foster Bryant, owner of MovMnt Spine & Rehab in Naples, assists clients with techniques and treatments for maintaining good posture.

STAY CONNECTED!

Good posture benefits your health, but it’s about more than sitting (or standing) up straight. Over a lifetime of constant leaning or bending, “your spine actually begins to weaken,” explains Dr. T. Foster Bryant, a chiropractor and exercise physiologist who owns MovMnt Spine & Rehab in Naples. The best way to fix your posture is to understand any issues with your spine, he notes, which starts with X-ray and then treatments like bracing to support realignment. There are also steps you can take on your own. Bryant suggests holding your smartphone up in front of you when using it, and positioning your computer screen and televison slightly above eye level. When sitting, place a small pillow in the middle of your back for support. Bryant also recommends following an active lifestyle and, in particular, practicing Pilates for spine lengthening. Sensors that alert you when you’re slumping may help raise your awareness of posture, but Bryant notes that they may not be enough. “There’s a lot of things that are helpful; there’s not a lot of things that are corrective,” he says.

COURTESY OF FOUNTAIN X

Beyond Fitness Fountain X offers an array of personalized fitness and holistic health services.

A new fitness studio in Naples, Fountain X, offers ways to monitor and improve your overall health that go beyond physical training and nutritional guidance. While fitness is a key part of health, these services often are segmented, notes Shawn Buchheit, global vice president of business development for Fountain Life, the studio’s parent company.

According to Buchheit, Fountain X brings these services together with the goal of “making fitness an extension of health care [and] health care an extension of fitness.” The studio offers group classes, personal training, and AI-based equipment that provides a personalized

workout, but it also helps members recover with laser therapy, chiropractic services, and infrared saunas. Fountain X then steps even further into health care through its collaboration with Fountain Life.

Members can take a range of preventative tests that may not be covered by insurance, from a full-body MRI to cancer screenings to a gut microbiome analysis, with the goal of identifying and addressing illness as early as possible. By providing tools for fitness and holistic health in one place, Buchheit adds, “people can curate it and take responsibility [and] ownership of their own health.” (fountain-x.com)

TAX Time

The season is upon us, and two proposed changes could impact wealthy filers down the road

By Judy Martel For taxpayers, last year was one of much talk but little action. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act proposed an array of tax increases, particularly on individuals earning $400,000 and above, in order to pay for a variety of social and environmental programs in the bill.

In the end, the complete plan stalled in Congress, as did many of the proposed tax subsidies to pay for it. But that doesn’t mean all of them are dead, says Jeffrey Rubinger, an adjunct faculty member at the University of Miami School of Law’s graduate program in taxation and partner at Baker & McKenzie in Miami. “I do think some of the proposals will go through; it’s just a matter of when.”

Two of the proposals he believes would have the biggest impact on wealthy individuals are an increase in the long-term capital gains tax and a reduction or elimination of the exclusion of 100 percent of the gain from the sale of a qualified small business (C-corporations with less than $50 million in assets).

Taxes on capital gains are imposed when certain assets—such as vacation homes, stocks, bonds, and art owned for at least a year—are sold for more than their purchase price. In 2022, the capital gains rate essentially remains unchanged, with the highest rate set at 20 percent for single filers earning in excess of $459,750 and for married filing jointly earning more than $517,200.

An additional surcharge of 3.8 percent is levied on individuals with income exceeding $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married filing jointly.

In preparation for potentially paying a higher rate of up to 25 percent under the Build Back Better plan, many wealthy individuals sold investments in 2021 to take advantage of the lower rates, Rubinger says. “Essentially they accelerated a lot of income, and it turns out they didn’t have to do that.”

But when there is talk of significant changes to the tax laws, it’s not such a bad thing to jump the gun by selling at least some assets while the rate is low, he adds.

The other proposal Rubinger thinks Congress will eventually pass will have

a “huge impact” on small business owners, he says. Currently, owners who sell their qualified small business can exclude 100 percent of the gain, up to $10 million or 10 times the value of the company’s stock. Historically, successful small business owners who fit the qualifications have been able to amass wealth with this exclusion.

One of the most hotly debated proposals was the increase in the top income tax rate from 36 percent to 39.6 percent, but that did not pass last year. “The only change in 2022 is the imposition of an additional 5 percent surcharge on top of the highest rate for those with gross income exceeding $10 million and another 8 percent for incomes exceeding $25 million,” says Rubinger.

The Build Back Better plan is “clearly aimed at people making a significant amount of money,” Rubinger says. “The issue is that for many high-net-worth individuals, most of their income is on capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income.” Taking all this into account, the best defense is to work with a tax professional to devise the strategy that best serves you. «

THE WRITE STUFF

3 Authors, 1 Cause

Where can you meet three New York Times best-selling authors at the same venue while supporting young survivors of human trafficking? At the Afternoon with Authors event April 14 in the downtown clubhouse of the Naples Woman’s Club. The discussion panel will feature Patti Callahan Henry, Kate Quinn, and Weina Dai Randel—three acclaimed writers recognized for their historical fiction. Stacy Vermylen, club spokeswoman, says the three authors are attending pro bono to support Path2Freedom, a local treatment and rehabilita-

tion shelter for young trafficking victims, including teens and foster children. Naples author Dianna Rostad (You Belong Here Now, 2021, William Morrow/HarperCollins) chaired the event committee. Rostad “is bringing us the strongest group of authors we have ever had,” says Vermylen. “Historical fiction is an extremely popular genre, especially among our local population and book groups. Their books feature strong women and bring history alive in an array of time periods.” The afternoon includes a silent auction, cocktails, nibbles, book sales, and signings. Tickets are $150 and the event is limited to 200 attendees. (napleswomansclub.org)

LOOK INTO MY EYES An adult brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) at Isle of Capri sits motionless for a portrait

by Nick Shirghio showcasing its subtle coloring. “It speaks of the everyday detail that you miss unless you’re looking closely,” Shirghio says. Shirghio moved to Naples in 1980 at the age of 9, so his eye is honed on local wildlife. A graduate of Daytona Beach Community College’s photography program, he has an architectural, editorial, and commercial focus professionally, as well as the outdoors, including cloudscapes.
