Daniella Stromberg grew up on the vibrant streets of NYC, in the full-spectrum technicolor of the 1970s. Her teachers described her as “delightfully social.” Anything and everything that made life cozier was and still is Daniella’s obsession. Luxe, chic, cozy and comfortable became her passion. Hotel lobby lounges were her favorite place to hang out and concentrate on getting homework done.
It’s no wonder Daniella got her degree in holistic wellness. She went from being a private wellness coach with a celebrity clientele to eventually opening her acclaimed d’mai urban oasis in Park Slope, Brooklyn in 2004. She was a trailblazer as no one had opened anything on the strip of 5th avenue at that time, it was an Avenue of empty storefronts. She turned a barren neighborhood into a burgeoning commercial corridor dubbed "The Other 5th" with d’mai urban spa being the nucleus and healing center. Daniella received the prestigious award of Brooklyn’s best business owner and won best “spa of year” year after year.
On this episode, Daniella talks to Jenni Shaw about why she closed d’mai Urban Spa shortly after the worst of the COVID pandemic and moved to the North Fork of Long Island. She discusses running d’mai Wellness consulting and offering her expertise to luxury wellness and hospitality businesses both locally and across the country.
