Fascinated with the miracle of the human body, her post grad earned her a BSc in Human Kinetics. After college her career in complimentary health began with a company dedicated to providing nutraceuticals (functional nutrition) to those in need, BioAdvantex Pharma. Following this, Harmony took time to travel, explore and allow herself the opportunity to discover where the next chapter would lead her.
While traveling solo, Harmony would make it part of her experience to find special sanctuaries which reminded her of her unique childhood, while escaping into deep relaxation, much like they did with the ancient methods of a European hydrotherapy spa.
The euphoric feeling after a day of detoxification in a water, sauna and steam circuit was proving to be a favorite method of relaxation, and mind/body cleansing. Her vision became clear – she would build a hydrotherapy spa in Newport, Rhode Island. Creating an all-encompassing place of healing, detoxification and ultimate relaxation.
Cedar Hwang
Cedar Song Hwang grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada but always had ties to Newport, RI. Her family was originally from the seaside area so it always felt like a second home. When Cedar turned 16 she jumped at the opportunity to sail with her uncle Bob Tiedemann aboard his classic yachts. She moved to Newport to continue her sailing career, transporting her to remote and beautiful lands. Locally she captained Heritage, a classic America’s Cup yacht for 12 Meter Charters, racing and sightseeing. In 2013 she became land based but continued to engage in her love of water through hydrotherapy, by joining her sister Harmony in realizing their dream of creating the bodhi spa.
