    Dr. Carrie Bordinko | Reset Your Life

    Dr. Carrie Bordinko | Reset Your Life

    "If you had to create a new medical experience for yourself, what would it look like?”
    This is the exact question Dr. Carrie Bordinko asked herself during the inception of Benessair Health. Dr. Carrie founded Benessair Health to create a premium, total wellness experience for her clients. To do that, she combined both medical facilities as well as science backed alternative treatments that promote total wellness. Couple that with a luxury experience and Benessair Health redefines the possibilities for what a visit to the doctor can be.
    On this episode of ICONIC Hour Renee and Dr. Carrie talk about redefining medicine and combating the root cause with a highly-personalized approach that supports and nurtures the patient. They explore the benefits of science-backed, alternative medicine such as hyperbaric chambers and IV drips and an overall holistic approach to medicine, never underestimating the three pillars of nutritious food, sleep and regular exercise.

    Paul Dahmen | Behind the Canvas

    Paul Dahmen | Behind the Canvas

    Paul Dahmen is the Gallery Director at Markowicz Fine Art’s third location in Laguna Niguel, California. He was inspired to start painting with oil and acrylic paints by the age of nine with the encouragement of his grandmother, who had painted her entire life. However, an artist’s life was not in the cards for him because he could not get through a university drawing class to save his life.
    Dahmen graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and Art History from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He moved to Los Angeles after his studies to work in the film and television industry, and did so for over a decade, with the goal of working in the arts in some capacity in the future.
    Although he couldn’t draw, his passion for the arts never diminished. He decided he would prefer representing artists in a gallery setting to help “connect the dots” between art collectors and artist’s creations. This true passion led him to Laguna Beach to actively pursue his art gallery career.
