Diane Gjelaj is originally from Scotland and has been living in NYC for the past 19 years. She became fascinated by the holistic health field about ten years ago and began her journey with Body-Talk, Hypno-birthing, Doula, and Feng Shui certifications. She realized through her studies that she wanted to help others achieve harmony and balance in their lives and in 2011 she founded her company, Serene Living. She now spends her time educating people about ways to manage their health with essential oils and other natural products and she also leads a team of hundreds of men & women who are also on a mission to help others find safe and natural solutions for their health care needs.

Alexandra, born 1986, is an independent documentary photographer and artist who grew up in Boca Raton and High Springs, Florida.
