Each set of sheets and our Serene Throw comes with a booklet of breathing exercises and relaxation techniques designed to help you calm both mind and body.
About the Founder
Armella Stepan knows a thing or two about luxury bedding.
A 25-year veteran of the luxury hotel industry, Armella conceived the INTENTIONS brand while coping with a long hospital stay and recovering from the subsequent post-traumatic stress she developed after a surgical mishap almost claimed her life. Post recovery, Armella interviewed over 30 doctors, neuroscientists and yogis to understand the keys to relaxation. In doing so, she learned that visualization, words and breathing exercises were particularly helpful for the mind and body to prepare for sleep.
Coupling this research with her expertise as a luxury hotelier, Armella intends to offer tools to improve the sleep experience for those who suffer from sleeplessness at home and on the road. Because of her own medical experience, she has also made it her mission to bring the sleep secrets of INTENTIONS to the healthcare realm. Armella is developing additional INTENTIONS home products and, through Volunteers of America (VOA.org), is contributing education and resources to facilities that are housing soldiers and individuals suffering from PTSD and other traumas. INTENTIONS Throws can be found in the Caritas Wing at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica where patients are coached to practice breathing techniques to reduce anxiety.
