Meet Lori
Lori Bell
Acupuncturist and Astrologist at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach
Capricorn
Meet The Standard, Miami’s residential acupuncturist who sticks needles in peoples bodies all day long, makes you feel “stoned in the best way possible” and will maybe even let you know if your Capricorn boyfriend is a good match.
The Standard: How did you get into doing Acupuncture?
Lori Bell: I worked in fashion for a while and it had no soul. One day I went to a reading of a Taoist master and he kind of planted the seed. I went to him hoping to hear that I would fall in love and live happily ever after. Instead he told me to be an acupuncturist.
MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES
As some of you already know, I just spent the past five days at the glorious Standard, Miami, swimming laps in the 80 degree saltwater pool overlooking the bay, getting my shoulders massaged by the 98 degree waterfall and then plunging into an ice cold bath to revitalize my perfect skin. And yes, I did it all without spilling a drop of my martini. It’s not a vacation for the faint of heart.
I would have loved to have seen you there, but unless you were a hotel guest, the chances would have been slim……until now!

Meet Mateo
Mateo “Madhu” Lizarazo
Certified Yoga Teacher, The Standard Spa, Miami Beach
Cancer
The Standard: Tell us a bit about your background, and what made you decide to enter this field of wellness?
Mateo: Born and raised in the Colombian valley, I came to the United States 11 years ago. After traveling all over the states, I ended up at The Standard in 2005 when they were just opening and started to work there as security/server/night auditor/front office. It was a matter of time until I met Loren Russo, another yoga teacher at The Standard who brought me into one of her yoga classes and that was it - I fell in love with the feeling of peace and joy that yoga generates. I became addicted to yoga and then decided to get certified and teach.
What is your strength?
My strength is having the capacity to facilitate and create a challenging atmosphere so that any aspirant (student) can get a good yoga experience from beginner to advance.
Why is the Miami Standard so different from the other buildings?
Because the place is a hidden oasis once you step inside you never want to leave….
What are you most excited about right now in terms of services?
The specials and varieties. You can try a special where you get a taste of everything - yoga, massage, etc.
What was the last song you downloaded?
MC Yogi, Give Love or something like that.
Meet Mina

The Standard: Tell us a bit about your background, and what made you decide to enter this field of wellness?
Mina: Growing up in Stockholm, Sweden, I naturally love the ocean/water and have a total affinity for bathing - relaxing (lowering my pulse is part of my dna), spa rituals, skin care head to toe, healthy food, yoga and Pilates. I love all of it. I also studied science, architecture and arts - but quickly was drawn to what I love and share what I love = lifestyle, wellness and health. I started opening health clubs, spa and travel concepts… work that took me exploring and discovering wonders in many corners of the world.
