Meet Jasmine Hall El

We were lucky to catch up with Jasmine Hall El recently and have shared our conversation below.

Jasmine , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

Confidence and self-esteem are not just qualities I developed—they are the bedrock of my life’s journey, intricately woven into every challenge I’ve faced and every success I’ve achieved. My story begins as a young athlete, full of ambition, with dreams of becoming a physical therapist. My path seemed clear, but life, as it often does, had other plans. Becoming a mother at a young age shifted my priorities, and the certainty of my path wavered. I had to recalibrate my life, finding a way to reconcile my dreams with my new reality.

Returning to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was a pivotal moment for me. As I walked onto that campus again, I carried the weight of responsibility—not just to myself, but to my children. My self-esteem was tested daily as I balanced motherhood, studies, and the pursuit of my goals. Yet, it was within these challenges that my confidence began to take root. Every hurdle I overcame—whether it was mastering a complex course, juggling multiple roles, or simply finding the strength to keep going—became a building block for my self-worth.

Completing my degree with a concentration in Nutrition was not just an academic achievement; it was a testament to my resilience and determination. But confidence didn’t stop at the classroom doors. It extended into the real world, where I became a certified personal trainer, helping others transform their lives just as I had transformed mine. This was the beginning of my journey as a health and wellness professional, but it was also the beginning of something deeper—a commitment to self-growth and to instilling confidence in others.

The birth of my luxury health and wellness concierge business was the culmination of years of hard work, personal growth, and a relentless belief in myself. As a minority woman, I’ve often found myself navigating spaces where I was underrepresented. This only fueled my drive to create a business that embodies luxury, accommodation, and compassion—values that reflect my journey and the journey I want to guide my clients through. Confidence, for me, has always been about embracing who I am and using my unique experiences to forge a path that not only uplifts me but also those around me.

As a former athlete, I understand the power of physical strength, but as a mother, student, and entrepreneur, I’ve come to understand the even greater power of mental and emotional strength. Confidence and self-esteem are not just about believing in your abilities; they’re about knowing your worth, standing firm in your values, and continuously striving for growth, no matter the obstacles. Today, as a Functional Medicine Research Analyst and Life Coach, I empower others to find this same strength within themselves. I help them discover that confidence is not a destination but a journey—one that requires courage, resilience, and an unwavering belief in one’s potential.

In every client I work with, every life I touch, I see a reflection of my journey. My confidence and self-esteem have been built brick by brick through experiences that challenged me, shaped me, and ultimately led me to become the person I am today—a leader, a mentor, and a relentless advocate for health and wellness.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

Thank you for this opportunity to share more about myself and the journey that led me to create my company. My name is Jasmine Hall El, and I am the founder and owner of a luxury health and wellness concierge service that is deeply rooted in a personal journey of resilience, transformation, and an unwavering commitment to health.

My path began as an athlete, where I first learned the importance of discipline, strength, and endurance. I pursued my education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focusing on Exercise Sports Science with aspirations of becoming a physical therapist. However, life took a different turn when I became a mother. Motherhood reshaped my priorities, but it also reignited my passion for health and wellness, pushing me to complete my education with a concentration in Nutrition and earn certifications as a personal trainer and nutritionist.

The most profound part of my journey was realizing that health is not just about physical fitness but about creating a sustainable lifestyle that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. This realization became the foundation of my business. I wanted to build something that went beyond traditional personal training or nutrition counseling—a service that offered comprehensive, personalized care with a touch of luxury.

My business is more than just a concierge service; it’s a mission to educate and empower people to prioritize their health in a way that enhances their quality of life and longevity. I work closely with each client, offering services that range from personal training and medical testing to meal delivery and life coaching. Each aspect of my service is designed with luxury, accommodation, comprehensiveness, and compassion at its core.

What excites me most about my work is the transformation I see in my clients. It’s not just about helping someone lose weight or gain muscle; it’s about witnessing the shift in how they view their health, how they integrate wellness into their daily lives, and how they begin to live more vibrant, fulfilled lives. These transformations are incredibly rewarding and reaffirm why I started this journey.

Looking forward, I’m thrilled about expanding my services and continuing to innovate in the health and wellness space. I’m currently working on developing new programs that further integrate functional medicine principles with personalized wellness strategies. My goal is to reach more people and make a lasting impact on their health journeys.

To anyone reading this, I want you to know that your health is your most valuable asset. It’s not just about surviving; it’s about thriving. And I’m here to help guide you on that journey with a service that’s tailored to your unique needs, delivered with the highest level of care and luxury.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Reflecting on my journey, three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge have been most impactful: resilience, the art of listening, and a deep understanding of holistic wellness.

Resilience has been the bedrock of my entrepreneurial journey. The path to building a luxury health and wellness concierge company is not linear. There have been countless challenges, setbacks, and moments of self-doubt. But resilience taught me to view these obstacles not as barriers but as opportunities to learn, adapt, and grow. It’s about having the tenacity to keep pushing forward, even when the odds seem stacked against you. For those starting, cultivate resilience by embracing challenges and viewing failure as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block.

The art of listening is a skill that often goes underrated, but it has been crucial in my journey. In the health and wellness industry, truly understanding your clients’ needs, concerns, and aspirations is the key to providing exceptional service. Listening goes beyond hearing words; it’s about being present, empathetic, and responsive to what isn’t being said. This deep connection builds trust, fosters long-term relationships, and allows you to offer solutions that resonate on a personal level. For those early in their journey, practice active listening in every interaction. It will enrich your relationships and provide insights that you might otherwise miss.

Lastly, a profound understanding of holistic wellness has been instrumental. My background in exercise science, nutrition, and functional medicine has allowed me to see health as an intricate web of interconnected systems rather than isolated components. This perspective has shaped the comprehensive, personalized approach of my business. For those just starting, I recommend broadening your knowledge base. Don’t just focus on one area of expertise—seek to understand the body, mind, and spirit’s complex interplay. This holistic approach will set you apart and enable you to offer truly transformative services.

My advice for those beginning their journey is to be patient with yourself. Growth is a process, not a destination. Focus on building resilience, mastering the art of listening, and expanding your knowledge of holistic wellness. These foundations will not only guide you through the inevitable challenges but will also help you create a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of those you serve.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Certainly! Here’s the modified response:

Absolutely, I am always seeking meaningful partnerships that align with the values and mission of my Luxury Health & Wellness Concierge. Our goal is not only to transform lives through comprehensive health and wellness services but also to create a ripple effect that elevates the standards of luxury wellness in every facet.

I am particularly interested in collaborating with natural skincare and makeup brands that prioritize holistic beauty and wellness. The connection between skin health and overall well-being is undeniable, and I believe that working together, we can redefine what it means to glow from the inside out.

In addition, partnerships with cryotherapy and red light therapy saunas, physical therapists, functional medicine physicians, and mental health professionals are of great interest to me. The synergy between these modalities and my approach to wellness is powerful. Together, we can offer clients an integrated, cutting-edge experience that addresses their needs on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and beyond.

I also see tremendous potential in partnering with luxury resorts and hotels. By integrating my concierge services with their offerings, we can create a sanctuary for guests—a place where they not only relax but also rejuvenate and emerge with a renewed sense of well-being.

Luxury athletic wear brands are another natural fit. As someone who believes that wellness is a lifestyle, I appreciate the role that high-quality, stylish, and functional attire plays in motivating and empowering individuals on their wellness journeys. Together, we can create exclusive experiences that blend fashion and function seamlessly.

Furthermore, I am eager to connect with other personal trainers who are passionate about sustainable wellness options and life-changing transformations. Collaboration with professionals who share a commitment to lasting, holistic change will allow us to expand our reach and impact even more lives.

I also welcome the opportunity to work with registered dietitians who approach nutrition holistically. Nourishment is foundational to wellness, and by partnering with like-minded experts, we can guide our clients to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle from the inside out.

Finally, I am keen on collaborating with local corporations to enhance their corporate wellness programs. In today’s fast-paced world, helping employees achieve a work-life balance that promotes health and productivity is crucial. By partnering with organizations that share this vision, we can create programs that not only benefit employees but also contribute to the overall success and culture of the company.

If you are a visionary in any of these areas and share a commitment to luxury, accommodation, comprehensiveness, and compassion, I would love to explore how we can work together. Please connect with me at [email protected]. Let’s create something extraordinary that transforms lives and elevates the standards of wellness in the most luxurious and impactful way possible.
