Recharge with the Ocean

Born from the sea and shaped by science, YemanJÁ is more than a wellness destination. It’s a mission, a movement, and a home for those who want to feel great

We’re Justin and Jessica, the founders of YemanJÁ Wellness, and our story is rooted in the ocean. It shapes us every day—whether we’re walking the beach, swimming in the waves, or watching a sunset, our best ideas come from those moments. Jessica always said Justin is a son of YemanJÁ, the goddess of the sea, because he is constantly seeking it out. He rarely vacations anywhere without it, and it was a swim in those waves that first sparked the vision for our wellness club

Here in Mission Beach, we saw a need for a real recovery destination—a resource for the community where anyone can come to feel better and stronger. That’s what YemanjJÁ is about. We’re blending the best recovery science out there with the ocean’s raw power, things like ion-rich sea air and high-tech red light therapy, all while respecting the ocean’s mysteries, the parts we still don’t fully understand. It’s a balance of what we know and what the ocean continues to teach us.

This isn’t just a wellness club to us—it’s a way to share what the ocean has given us with everyone who walks through our doors, a place where the community can tap into that same healing energy.

Our Founders

Justin & Jessica Barlow

Justin’s a technology executive with 20 years in healthcare, and Jessica’s a local realtor here in Mission Beach. Justin saw a healthcare industry focused on fixing sickness not building health, and Jessica saw a local community that was getting healthier and could use more resources. Together, we built YemanJÁ as a family legacy and a tribute to the sea we love. We live this wellness rhythm every day—ocean swims, paddleboarding, sunsets, and especially sunrises—and it’s the same one we’re inviting you into.

We believe wellness shouldn’t be a rare event or an abstract goal, but instead a warm and inviting routine that makes you feel a little better every day. It should feel as natural as standing in the ocean, letting the waves do their work.

Our Philosophy

The ocean has taught us to listen, to move with the tides, and to build something meaningful. At YemanJÁ. We offer consistent, science-backed modalities that recharge your body, and we combine it with an ocean setting that enhances and cements the positive effects of your recovery activities

A rhythm, not a reward

A culture, not a trend

A return to balance, not a performance metric
