Liza González Hamilton-Smith – the serene soul behind Solace Wellness in RAK. She’s a holistic healer, yoga whisperer, sound alchemist, and all-around calm queen who traded big-city buzz for Ras Al Khaimah’s soulful stillness.
Hit play to discover why Liza chose RAK over the glam of Dubai, how she helps people reconnect with themselves, and the secret ingredient behind her signature ice baths (hint: it’s not just the ice).
Interview Highlights
🌍 From Mexico to RAK, skipping Dubai altogether! Liza landed in Ras Al Khaimah a decade ago and instantly vibed with its peaceful, beach-town energy.
🧘♀️ Solace Wellness isn’t just a name – it’s a vibe. Liza offers yoga, sound healing, reiki, and even ice baths to help people tune out the noise and tune into themselves.
💡 Corporate burnout to holistic breakthrough! Liza’s journey into healing started with her own need to calm down, regulate anxiety, and escape the corporate chaos.
🧵 Fascia is fascinating! She dives deep into the body’s connective tissue network, teaching how it stores trauma — and how we can gently let it go.
👩👩👧👧 RAK = Women supporting women. From powerhouse coaches to resilient role models, she found her tribe in Ras Al Khaimah’s tight-knit circle of female entrepreneurs.
🏖 Nature is her co-therapist. Whether it’s sea swims, mountain picnics, or desert camping, Liza’s love for RAK’s natural playground is real (and contagious).
💖 Shout-out central: She sends big love to WOW-RAK, Hannah, and the entire community for always showing up, supporting events, and sharing good vibes.
