From the Founder

Giadha is an accomplished entrepreneur, strategist, and multilingual leader with over three decades of experience across banking, intelligence, technology, and emerging global markets. She is best known as the founder of New Frontier Data, the first and premier big data and analytics technology firm in the global cannabis industry, which she grew from a one-person startup into a $150 million enterprise with a presence across three continents. Over the course of her career, Giadha has launched, built, and operated six data-centric businesses, introduced disruptive technologies—including Progressive’s Snapshot and Verizon’s Hum—and help pioneer the first AI-driven business credit score.

Fluent in five languages, Giadha was born in Italy and raised in France, Spain, and the United States. She holds an AA from Miami Dade Community College in Business Administration,  a BA in International Relations & Trade from the University of Pennsylvania, a MA in International Security from Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service, and completed executive training at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Today, alongside her board and advisory roles in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Giadha brings this vision, global experience, and commitment to growth into the creation of Vere Vitae—a sanctuary dedicated to healing, renewal, and the awakening of human potential.

Faith  is a Level 2 Authorized Ashtanga Yoga teacher and the founder of Woodley Park Yoga in Washington, D.C. She studied for decades under Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois in Mysore, India, who have taught renowned students such as Madonna, Sting and Gwyneth Paltrow. With humility and reverence, Faith carries forward this sacred lineage through her own devoted practice and instruction.

For over fifteen years, she led Washington’s longest-running Mysore-style Ashtanga program, teaching with presence, patience, and precision. Her approach honors the core Ashtanga tradition: individual instruction within a group setting, making it equally accessible to lifelong practitioners and complete beginners.

In addition to her yogic path, Faith is a board-certified hospital chaplain, originally trained in a Level 1 trauma center and now specializing in palliative and end-of-life care. She brings the same compassion, groundedness, and spiritual integrity to her yoga students as she does to her patients—offering guidance, support, and holistic care with deep respect for both tradition and the human spirit.

Together, they welcome you into a practice that unites body, mind, and spirit—a space of remembering, renewal, and radiant becoming.

Frank’s life has been shaped by both profound blessings and deep personal challenges — across health, family, finance, and relationships. These experiences led him to explore the roots of transformation and take full responsibility for his path.

With a background in corporate finance and decades as a serial entrepreneur, Frank eventually turned inward, devoting himself to the study of consciousness, embodiment, and human potential. He is trained in Ashtanga Yoga, Tantra, Kundalini, and Breathwork, and brings a holistic lens to his work in health, vitality, lifestyle optimization, and performance coaching. He also offers guidance in relationship and actualization coaching, always rooted in lived experience

Frank studied at USC, Thunderbird, Franklin College (Switzerland), and Menlo College. A father of four and lifelong traveler, he speaks English, Italian, and French, and now lives with intention — walking the path he once only imagined.

Kim is a devoted yoga practitioner and teacher with over 25 years of personal practice and more than a decade of teaching experience. Drawn to yoga as a powerful path of healing and self-discovery, she explored many styles before committing to the transformative tradition of Ashtanga yoga in 2012. Her dedication has taken her to Mysore, India, where she studied with Saraswathi Jois, and continued studying with her and her son Sharath Jois during their teaching tours in the US.

Kim is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) and completed her teacher training at YogaWorks in Boston, a program known for its integration of the precise alignment of Iyengar yoga and Ashtanga's breath-centered movement. Rooted in tradition and continually enriched by ongoing study of Ayurveda, pranayama, and meditation, her teaching creates a grounded, holistic space for balance, inquiry, and growth. 

Kim met Giadha through Faith by way of a serendipitous invitation to visit Vere Vitae during one of her summers in Calabria, where she spends time with her partner and his family. From the start, a shared devotion to practice, learning, and community was evident, organically unfolding into her joining the Vere Vitae Family and Journey.
