About Nicole Bekerian:

Nicole Bekerian is the owner and founder of Simply the Best by Nicole. Her journey started in May 2021, when she decided to pursue a dream that she had since she was a little girl - starting her own business.

The decision to center her business around jewelry was an easy one - she has always loved how different pieces can hold significant meanings or add exactly what is needed to your favorite outfit. It's so important to her that all of my clients have an opportunity to choose pieces they really love and create a memorable experience.

I've always been someone who appreciates the simple things in life and that translates to my jewelry designs. Simplicity can speak volumes.

Simply the Best was born after saying goodbye to my dog and best friend of 11 years, Gibbs - because he was - simply the best. I wanted a tangible reminder of him always with her, so she created the signature, a simple black onyx gemstone bracelet (which symbolizes protection and strength) with eleven spacers to signify his eleven years.

After that initial piece, she was excited about the future and wasted no time – she even wrote up a business plan while waiting for a flight home at the airport.

Once my flight landed, she kept dreaming and creating more jewelry.

She always knew it was very important to be inclusive with my sizing. Like clothes, jewelry needs a range of different sizes! She hated the experience of being worried about whether or not a bracelet may be too tight or wondering whether or not a necklace for a friend would be too short or too long on them because of “standard” sizing. With this in mind, all of her pieces are made in various sizes and can be made at any size upon request so that it fits perfectly.

Today, my business serves to share unique and meaningful designs with you and your loved ones. Because they believe you deserve - simply the best.

About Anna Rahe:

For the past 20+ years, Anna Rahe has delved deep into a liberating and empowering relationship with fascia so that as many people as possible can invest in their health, restore their vitality, and heal themselves with the proprietary tools she has created. As the founder, CEO and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians and celebrities, and been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal.

In her 20s, Anna suffered from chronic pain throughout her body that manifested as tension and IBS-like symptoms. Even as a dancer with a range of motion better than most, she still suffered from tightness and pain, with no clear answer as to why or how it could be solved.

Anna spent thousands of hours searching every discipline from East to West to find a fix. Every professional she approached said the same thing – “it’s too complicated.” She left their offices with nothing until finally, she took healing into her own hands – literally.

Anna followed the connections to and from the pain in her body, and through this process discovered fascia, the “secret organ” that, when damaged, causes many of the body’s complications and complaints we suffer from. She mapped her entire body, and it was then that the sun finally rose on the dark night of pain she’d been in for so long.

About Kylie Larson:

Kylie is the founder of Elemental Coaching. My passion lies in changing lives and helping clients reach their full potential in all areas of life. My fitness and nutrition career started by teaching yoga and quickly snowballed into more.

While pursuing my own goals, I learned that nutrition is the most important thing when it comes to reaching your goals and the more I learned about nutrition, the more I realized that what we eat is rarely about the food. I will ask you to go deeper and examine your thoughts around yourself, food, exercise and diet.
