Exploring Life & Business with Penny Foskaris of Foskaris Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Penny Foskaris.

Hi Penny, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My journey into health and wellness began 18 years ago with a personal health crisis that left me searching for answers. For nearly three years, I saw countless doctors, trying to uncover the cause of my debilitating symptoms—chronic dizziness, severe abdominal pain, and persistent fatigue. Simple daily tasks, like driving my children to school, became overwhelming. With no clear diagnosis and my condition worsening, I reached a breaking point.

One morning, sitting on the floor not being able to move due to the excruciating pain and feeling hopeless, I made a promise to God: if He helped me heal, I would dedicate my life to helping others regain their health. Shortly after, a friend suggested I visit a holistic wellness center. There, I underwent a food sensitivity scan that revealed three of my daily staples—bananas, strawberries, and black tea—were actually harming me. The results were life-changing. Eliminating bananas stopped my dizziness, cutting out strawberries stopped my abdominal pain, and avoiding black tea resolved my indigestion. For the first time in years, I felt normal again.

This experience ignited my passion for holistic health and inspired me to help others overcome their own health struggles. Eight years ago, I opened my first office in Newport Beach, CA. Today, I own and operate Foskaris Wellness, a Holistic Anti-Aging Wellness Spa in Anaheim Hills, CA. We specialize in extending longevity, enhancing vitality, fat loss, helping skin elasticity, uncovering food sensitivities, improving balance, strength, muscle tone, and improving overall well-being.

Our proprietary Longevity RX system, combined with advanced technology, provides clients with personalized wellness plans based on precise body scans, allowing them to achieve their health goals faster. Whether they want to shed fat, preserve muscle, or achieve firmer, glowing skin, our approach is tailored to their unique needs. We also assist individuals who have lost weight rapidly or are experiencing age-related skin laxity, helping them regain firm, youthful skin.

Beyond in-person services, we offer online programs and cutting-edge wellness equipment, Red Light Pro Devices making transformative health solutions accessible to clients nationwide. What began as my personal struggle has evolved into a lifelong mission—to empower others to reclaim their health, optimize their well-being, and thrive.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Like any entrepreneurial journey, there were challenges in the beginning. One of the biggest obstacles I faced was marketing my holistic wellness spa. I had created a beautiful, relaxing oasis designed to help people heal, but I struggled to attract the right audience and communicate the value of holistic wellness to the public.

Fortunately, after 6 months, I connected with a marketing team that truly understood my mission and vision. With their expertise, I was able to refine my message and effectively share it with the community. As awareness grew, Foskaris Wellness began to thrive, allowing me to help more people transform their health and well-being.

Through this experience, I learned the importance of strategic marketing and strong partnerships—a lesson that has been invaluable in growing my business and expanding my impact.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Foskaris Wellness?
At Foskaris Wellness, my mission is to help people achieve optimal health, longevity, and vitality through a holistic, science-backed approach. I’ve dedicated my career to integrating personalized nutrition, biohacking technology, and advanced wellness modalities like red light therapy, PEMF therapy, and metabolic assessments to support weight management, pain relief, better sleep, and overall well-being. I’m passionate about empowering my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health and create lasting transformations—because everyone deserves to live a healthier, more vibrant life.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk-taking is an essential part of entrepreneurship, and starting a business always comes with uncertainty. However, creating a business that was truly unique came with even greater risks. I had to invest in high-end equipment and commit to a three-year lease, knowing that the financial responsibility would be mine regardless of the business’s success. Despite the challenges, I believed in my vision and was willing to take those risks to create something transformative. Looking back, those decisions were pivotal in building a thriving wellness center that has helped thousands of people achieve better health.
