HOST: BETTINA GORDON-WAYNE
Bella is a true renaissance woman: for 25 years she was a performer on stage as a singer/dancer and event producer in Germany. As an enthusiastic “Foodie” she combined two of her passions (writing and cooking) to publish 3 bestselling cookbooks with Eichborn Verlag. At the height of her career in 1999 she left Germany, followed her dream and moved to Hollywood. There she began her transition as a full-time student at Santa Monica College at the age of 40. With her ex-husband she coproduced a full-length movie “ID InComplete”. Later Bella tapped into her strength as a leader, was ICF certified as an Ontological Life Coach and then worked as a successful Executive Coach (npexecutives.com) in Los Angeles.
In 2004 she became an overnight mother when she adopted and immigrated Dean, the son of her best friend who was killed in a car crash. After a devastating divorce, stripped from all her possessions, crushed by the loss of another pregnancy at 42 and overcoming major health issues, Bella took another leap of faith.
In 2010 she met her soul-mate Raymond and after a vacation in the Hawaiian jungle they decided to begin a new life together on the island of Maui. At the age of 52 Bella married the love of her life and together they bought their dream home with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. In 2016 she immigrated her ailing Mother from Germany and within two years nourished her back to health. Bella and Raymond founded THE PONO INSTITUTE (ponoinstitute.com), a center for Consciousness Research, providing education, seminars and retreats to their international clientele.
After spending a full year in mediation, the spirited couple developed a specific protocol and successfully launched NPBLUEPRINT (npblueprint.com) to optimize land, homes and businesses from energetic imprints. Today Bella’s biggest passion and creative outlet is the artistic endeavor RAYBELLA DESIGN STUDIO (raybella.com), their brand for creating contemporary art installations and incorporating social artistry for their island community. Their newest project is the opening of their own art atelier and CoCre8ion Gallery scheduled at the beginning of 2020.
