Member Spotlight: Crystal Isern of Crystal’s Palace – A Journey of Self-Love and Healing Through Wellness
In this month’s fini Member Spotlight, we are excited to introduce Crystal Isern, the founder of Crystal’s Palace—a sanctuary of healing nestled in the heart of her home. Crystal’s journey into wellness is not just a story of building a business but one of profound personal transformation. Through her unique offerings—ranging from Reiki Energy Healing infused with Sound Therapy to Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy—Crystal empowers individuals to reconnect with themselves and heal on both a physical and emotional level.
From Finance to Fulfillment: Finding Purpose in the Metaphysical
Crystal’s path to wellness was anything but conventional. Having worked in her father’s wealth management business for years, the pandemic forced her to confront a deeper calling—one that lay in the realm of metaphysical healing and self-discovery. Her first yoga class opened a door she never knew existed. She left the corporate world behind to fully embrace the yogic lifestyle and follow her passion for helping others heal.
“I’ve always been drawn to the invisible forces of life. After quitting my job, I knew my mission was to help others heal the way I was learning to heal myself. Through regression therapy, I’ve witnessed the incredible transformation that can come from addressing wounds carried from past lives, addictions, and more. My whole journey is about loving myself so I can give others permission to do the same.”
How Wellness Shapes Her Entrepreneurial Journey
Crystal's personal health and healing journey isn’t separate from her work—it’s the very foundation of it. Whether she’s teaching yoga at Casa Vinyasa or leading Pilates at Pandora Pilates Studio, her passion is intertwined with every service she offers. For Crystal, self-love is the gateway to helping others unlock their potential.
“Choosing to heal ourselves first is how we begin to heal others. My goal is to live a life where I let go of control, reclaim my power, and inspire others to do the same.”
How fini Has Strengthened Her Wellness Mission
Connecting with the fini community has opened new doors for Crystal, both personally and professionally. She recently led a sound bath event at fini’s Sound & Flow event at the Thesis Hotel in Coral Gables, which sparked an even bigger dream: to host a retreat. Crystal believes that participating fully in life often comes down to one thing—saying YES.
“We are all here to serve a purpose. When the opportunity to lead a sound bath with fini came up, I didn’t hesitate. That one event sparked a goal within me to host retreats. I believe that one door always opens another—just say YES!”
Maintaining Balance and Avoiding Burnout
Running a business rooted in health and wellness doesn’t mean Crystal is immune to the pressures of daily life. She’s experienced burnout and had to create boundaries around her time and energy to protect her well-being.
“I make it a point to practice yoga or workout every morning. As long as I show up for myself, everything else falls into place. But rest days are just as important—those are the days when real growth happens. Burnout taught me the importance of setting boundaries and honoring my energy.”
The Power of Community and Consistency
For Crystal, consistency is key. She believes in the importance of simply showing up, even on the tough days. The fini community has been an incredible source of motivation and accountability, particularly her connection with Andrea, another member and founder of Casa Coya whose energy and path have inspired Crystal to collaborate on future retreats and projects.
“Meeting Andrea felt like meeting a long-lost sister. Her energy was like a warm hug, and I knew right away that we were walking similar paths. The relationships I’ve built through fini have been valuable—they’ve given me the support and inspiration I need to stay aligned with my goals.”
Integrating Physical Fitness with Mental and Emotional Health
Crystal’s approach to wellness is deeply holistic. She recognizes the importance of physical exercise but also acknowledges the need to honor emotions and mental well-being.
“Exercise has been both a savior and a distraction for me at different points in my life. Sometimes, movement pulls me out of a dark place, and other times, I’ve used it to avoid emotions. The key is self-awareness—pay attention to your patterns and lean into the areas where you feel resistance. That’s where growth happens.”
Looking Ahead: Crystal’s Vision for the Future of Wellness
When asked about the future of wellness, Crystal is excited about the rise of holistic health practices and the increasing importance of nutrition and self-love. She envisions herself continuing to inspire others to live free, happy, and healthy lives through spiritual healing.
“Holistic health and Chinese medicine are on the rise, and I believe that eating whole, nutritious foods is one of the biggest acts of self-love. In the future, I see myself as a spiritual leader—not like a famous philosopher, but someone who inspires others to live freely and happily.”
Final Thoughts: Crystal’s Advice for Integrating Wellness into Your Life
For anyone looking to weave health and wellness into their entrepreneurial journey, Crystal’s advice is simple: Just show up.
“Consistency is everything. All the clichés are true—whether it’s showing up for your workout, your meditation practice, or your business goals, just keep going. Social media has been a huge part of my journey too—it’s connected me with people and opportunities I wouldn’t have found otherwise. We have so many tools available; it’s just about using them intentionally.”
Crystal’s journey is a beautiful example of how personal growth and business success can go hand-in-hand. With a deep focus on self-love and healing, she continues to inspire those around her to embrace wellness and live intentionally.
