Get to Know Loto (loh-toh)

Spanish for lotus, they grow out of the mud in dirty water and swamps. They open their petals with the rays of the sunlight and close their petals at sunset. In eastern cultures, it is held as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, righteousness, and rebirth, meaning sacred. The lotus flower is a symbol of resurrection.

Welcome to Loto Wellness Collective!

We are a lifestyle company deeply rooted in our faith and love in Jesus Christ. Through our signature programming, Loto Wellness Collective curates beautiful experiences to encourage, empower, and support people on their journeys toward flourishing lives in Christ. 

In a time of immense collective societal stress, Loto Wellness offers intentional spaces of beauty to heal, find rest, and develop deeper connections with nature and the Creator, ourselves, and each other.

The realities of the last few years have left many of us feeling burned out, lacking any abundant capacity for our emotions, our families, our jobs, and ourselves. Our hearts have been screaming “enough is enough” with this new normal, and now is the time to rebuild our lives intentionally, with Christ at the center, to be Light into the world.

Loto Wellness Collective brings together a community of believers on their unique paths of healing and spiritual growth. Our immersive experiential soul care events— online and in-person yoga & meditation workshops, somatic coaching, sound baths, and immersive retreats— offer sacred spaces and somatic techniques to support the quieting of our hearts and minds to let God speak into our lives.

We were meant for more than just survival, we were made to thrive!

“It’s our daily, seemingly insignificant decisions that eventually sculpt our characters and harden them into stone or free them into flourishing.” - John Mark Comer

Meet Jennifer Axcell— Founder & Champion of Rest of Loto Wellness Collective & Loto Living

Experience Designer, Content Creator & Recovering Workaholic

The inspiration to build Loto Wellness Collective came from my personal experience of living through and recovering from an extreme case of burnout- mind, body, and spirit.

As an entrepreneur, I was burning my candle at both ends for years, and without realizing it, doing so because I idolized self-reliance and success over God, the quality of my life, and my relationships.

I had been trying to pour from an empty cup for so long that I had forgotten what it felt like to feel fully alive, to thrive. I was living as a shadow of the woman I knew God made me to be.

My healing journey back to wholeness and God’s call on my heart to build this ministry of sacred rest gave birth to Loto Wellness Collective.

  • “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” ‭

    Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭MSG‬
