About Me
Hi, I’m Stacey Funt—physician, coach, global traveler, wife, and mother. I’m also someone who believes deeply in the power of travel to transform us—mind, body, and soul.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to adventure, connection, and well-being. I also studied Lifestyle Medicine, which explores how our daily behaviors shape our overall health. The intersection of these passions led to the creation of Lifestyle Health Adventures, the heart of LH Adventure Travel.
For me, travel isn’t just about visiting new places—it’s about stepping outside of our daily routines, reconnecting with ourselves, and embracing life fully. My mission is to create awe-inspiring, unforgettable adventures for women that immerse us in nature, promote well-being, and foster meaningful connections.
Each itinerary I craft is thoughtfully designed with key elements of wellness in mind, incorporating:
✔ Moderate movement—typically hiking, with some trips featuring biking or kayaking
✔ Spa experiences—time to relax and rejuvenate
✔ Healthy, locally-inspired cuisine
✔ Sisterhood—a sense of connection and shared experiences in stunning natural settings
This is more than just travel—it’s a transformative experience that creates lasting bonds and memories.
My Journey
Travel has been my greatest passion for over 37 years. From sleeping on wooden floors in Northern Thailand's hill tribe huts to having my sandwich snatched by a vulture in Tanzania, to experiencing soul-stirring moments beneath the Amazon’s starry sky—these are the memories that fuel my love for adventure.
One pivotal moment was visiting the Galapagos Islands with my husband shortly after our marriage. Watching mother-baby interactions in the wild inspired us to start a family. One month later, I was pregnant with twins! Wanting to share my love of travel, I began taking "Mom & Me" trips with my children when they turned eight, a tradition that continues today.
Alongside travel, my background includes:
-
Psychology at Emory University, medical school at NYU, and residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center
-
Certification in health & wellness coaching (National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches, Institute for Integrative Nutrition)
-
Life coach training through the Coach Training Institute
For over a decade, I’ve coached, conducted workshops, and lectured on wellness and self-care for both physicians and the general public. The idea of merging my passion for well-being with travel was a long-held dream, and when my children left for college, I knew it was time to bring this vision to life.
Now, I'm thrilled to create Lifestyle Health Adventures and share my expertise in wellness travel.
I invite you to join me on an upcoming adventure as we explore the world together. I also design custom adventures for private groups. If you're interested in a trip, we’ll start with a one-on-one Zoom call to ensure it’s the perfect fit for you. Once you’re on board, you’ll gain access to a private Facebook group, receive a detailed packing list, join a group zoom meeting prior to the trip, and enjoy support every step of the way.
