In July, by dria, the wellness and lifestyle brand founded by wellness curator Dria Murphy, hosted a wellness morning experience with an intimate group of premium members and friends at Shou Sugi Ban House. A mix of editors, influencers, founders, and premium members of the by dria community came together for an elevated morning of movement, treatments, discovery, and connection. Attendees included Rebecca Minkoff, Sophie Elgort, Casey Fremont, Alejandra Alonso Rojas, Dee Poku, Danielle Olivera, and more.
Anchored in Murphy’s mission to make wellness feel both intentional and effortless, the morning began with a mat Pilates class led by Pilates by Beth, a private-only instructor known for her personalized approach. Attendees also enjoyed Orveda mini facials, Kate McLeod body stone demos led by founder Kate McLeod, hydrotherapy, a signature matcha bar, breakfast bites provided by Shou Sugi Ban House, and curated by dria gift bags.
Each curated gift bag featured a selection of beauty and wellness brands, all by dria-approved, including YSE Beauty, Maison Margiela, Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty, Kate McLeod, and Dream Recovery, to name a few.
“We wanted to create a space where people could truly feel taken care of, with brands and experiences that are the best of the best,” said Murphy. “The wellness space is saturated, but we’re cutting through the noise, all while fostering real connection.”
