With over a decade of experience in community development in Harlem and as a professor at Pacific College of Health and Science, Yahaira brings both passion and expertise to Tribe Elements Spa Boutique. Her personal health journey inspired her to create a supportive space where clients can recover, heal, and thrive. Founder’s Vision and Story: Yahaira Paulino, founder and owner of Tribe Elements Spa Boutique, is a Dominican-born, Harlem-raised wellness advocate who turned her personal health journey into a business focused on holistic care. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and International Relations from SUNY Purchase College, Yahaira initially pursued a career in community development. However, her personal experience with weight loss and fitness inspired her to explore the field of health and wellness. Yahaira found that regular massage therapy helped her avoid injuries during her fitness journey and played a crucial role in her physical and mental recovery. This sparked a deeper understanding of the importance of preventive care in maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Equipped with certifications in massage therapy, aesthetics, and health coaching, Yahaira decided to create a space where others could experience the same healing benefits of holistic therapy. In 2018, she launched Tribe Elements Spa Boutique to support people on their wellness journeys and to cultivate a sense of community and wholeness. With over a decade of experience in Harlem’s community development and wellness industries, and as a professor at Pacific College of Health and Science, Yahaira brings a unique blend of expertise and compassion to her work at Tribe Elements.
