🐚 PLACE: THE CARILLON WELLNESS RESORT
Escape to The Carillon and find yourself mesmerized by their holistic wellness approach.
Located along Collins Avenue in Miami, you’ll find white sandy shores as you walk along the beach path, but also, a popular wellness hotel that brings another side to Miami’s elite that is a brand away from the stereotypical clubs and parties of Miami’s scene. With a specialized approach to health, wellness, and complete well-being, The Carillon Miami Wellness Resort exudes the “luxury of wellness” with technology and balanced indulgence against a stunning beachfront backdrop. In 2021, Carillon Miami Wellness Resort ranked within Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards as one of the "Top 15 Domestic Destination Spas," (the only property in Florida) and was also named one of the “Top 10 Destination Spa Resorts in the United States" in Condé Nast Traveler's 35th annual 2022 Readers' Choice Awards. The Carillon also offers one-of-a-kind personalized health retreats designed to align your physical, mental, and spiritual health for holistic well-being.
As the embodiment of "luxury wellness," the resort focuses on helping guests align to their best selves. These premier practices, amenities, and modalities help guests align their physical, mental, and spiritual health at The Carillon. The resort offers “a comprehensive luxury wellness retreat, the largest spa & wellness center on the Eastern Seaboard (70,000 sq. ft.), a one-of-a-kind Thermal Experience and a medical wellness division, personalized health retreats and services through the biostation at Carillon Miami, and more.” Of course it isn’t without permanent branded residences as guests who end up staying here are easy to convert to property owners. The Carillon Resort’s permanent residences feature 150 spacious one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments, ranging in size from 720 – 1,200 sq. ft. Fun Fact - The Carillon sits on 750 feet of pristine beach property so that if you’re a guest or resident, your access is unparalleled.
“At the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, we strive to create an atmosphere of relaxation and luxury for our guests, and we are grateful to be recognized for our efforts.” -The Carillon
According to Good Housekeeping, at the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, “health and wellness are the focus of your stay. Not only does the hotel feature a modern fitness center with 65+ classes offered per week, but there’s a wide range of spa services to choose from, including a thermal hydrotherapy circuit, traditional Chinese medicine, anti-aging treatments and more.” Guests can experience an entire wellness playground of recreational activities, access to the resort's two-story indoor rock wall and resort pools located throughout the property: the oceanfront Cabana Pool and the adult-only rooftop Atlantic Pool.

🐚 PERSON: DR. IRINA LOGMAN
Discover an integrative holistic health journey with Dr. Irina in MIA and NYC.
Dr. Irina Logman, DACM, LAc, is a New York & Florida State licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As a National Board Certified expert in Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs, Dr. Irina graduated in the top 1% of her class from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City. With over 20 years of experience, her dedication to holistic health is a true inspiration.
Tell us about your journey from studying pre-med to becoming a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (“TCM”), and how your early experiences in your mother’s clinic helped influence your career.
IL: Growing up during the Soviet Union era, technology was still advancing. My mother relied heavily on her intuition and naturopathic approaches to treat her clients. I was always around medicine, both through her clinic and through my own health challenges as a child. My sister, now a prominent breast cancer surgeon, and I were deeply influenced by our mother's work. My career journey began after I moved to the US to attend Hunter College pre-med. While I found the study of science fascinating, I’ve always believed in the body's innate ability to heal itself. I felt a disconnect in my pre-med studies between treating pathogens and supporting the immune system holistically. A friend introduced me to a 4-year acupuncture program, aligning with my passion for natural medicine. Because of my background in bioscience, I respect both Eastern and Western methodologies, but I believe in supporting holistic health before resorting to drastic interventions.
What sets your approach to holistic health and TCM apart from other practitioners in the industry?
IL: In my 20 years of practice, I've always believed in integrative medicine, often referring patients to Western medical doctors when necessary. My approach is shaped both as a doctor and a patient, especially after healing my migraines and other health challenges through alternative therapies. For instance, I might work with spiritual modalities to customize a patient’s treatment plan depending on their openness or level of interest in those areas. I also collaborate with various practitioners, and my diagnosis plans often include acupuncture, dietary recommendations, and herbal remedies. Chinese herbs have a 4,000-year-old legacy, are potent and effective. I believe in treating the energetic, consciousness, and physical levels, and my collaboration with practitioners ensures a holistic treatment approach.
“You have to treat the energetic leave, consciousness level and physical level. My approach is unique because I collaborate with other practitioners to holistically treat every level of my patients.” - Dr. Irina Logman
Now that your clinic is expanding to new locations in Miami and NYC, can you share any exciting new developments? And what will differentiate each location?
IL: I founded the Advanced Holistic Center to offer a comprehensive care package for body, mind, and spirit. Our treatments range from acupuncture to nutrition, addressing various conditions. Our locations are currently in NYC and Miami: 65 Broadway in NYC's finance district; Upper East Side, a more residential area; and in Florida, where many patients relocated post-pandemic. The Brickell location in Florida caters to a young, corporate crowd, similar to our first NYC spot. Our partnership with Carillon Miami was our initial venture in Miami, targeting the wellness-minded. Our latest addition in Sunny Isles will offer an incredible assortment of practitioners, from osteopathic, holistic urology, internal medicine, medical massage to acupuncture and more.
