Matthew KayserExperience gathered across different fields often carries an advantage. Skills developed in one arena can inform decisions in another, creating connected pathways. La Shaundra Perkins can attest to this perspective through a career shaped by sales, marketing, and relationship-building across health and wellness, travel, and beauty. Her professional life shows how lived experience and adaptability can open doors to meaningful work that touches people in varied yet complementary ways.

Health has played a central role in Perkins’ journey. Earlier in adulthood, she learned to live with hypothyroidism and high blood pressure, conditions that required ongoing attention and thoughtful management. Navigating daily routines, medical guidance, and lifestyle adjustments provided her firsthand insight into what it means to care for the body.
“My health experiences taught me to listen to myself and to others,” Perkins says. “When you understand what it feels like to search for balance, you naturally want to share what you learn along the way.” Today, she continues to follow medical advice while also incorporating wellness products into her routine, a blended approach that reflects her belief in personal responsibility and informed choice.
That mindset eventually led her into the health and wellness space professionally. After joining a company in the sector early in her career, she discovered an aptitude for sharing products and building trust with people she met. Conversations became opportunities for connection, and sales became an extension of service.
Perkins found fulfillment in introducing individuals to tools that supported their personal goals, whether those goals centered on physical vitality or emotional well-being. The encouragement she received during that period reinforced her desire to remain in the industry and later align with Amare Global, whose focus on mental and physical wellness resonated with her evolving interests.
Through her work with Amare Global, Perkins provides wellness products that target weight management, sustained energy, and mental health support. She emphasizes the need to treat mental wellness as inseparable from physical health, particularly for families managing complex needs. Her approach centers on listening before advising, creating space for individualized solutions. “Wellness looks different for everyone,” she states. “My role is to meet people where they are and help them explore options that feel supportive to their lives.”
Attentive to how products are created, Perkins emphasizes that Amare Global’s offerings undergo a careful formulation process designed to support both body and mind. Manufactured in California, they reflect a commitment to quality and intention. This focus on integrity has shaped the way she builds her business, helping ensure that customers trust not only the products but also the values behind them. With that foundation in place, she now looks ahead to growth, envisioning a future physical presence in Las Vegas.

Parallel to her wellness work runs a long-standing passion for travel. Raised in a military family, Perkins grew up accustomed to relocation and new environments, experiences that sparked an interest in tourism. She later formalized that interest through academic study and professional roles within the travel industry. Today, her work with Global Travel allows her to support clients planning journeys within the country and abroad, blending logistical expertise with personal care.
Her travel business functions much like a traditional advisory service, supported by digital tools that allow clients to browse and book independently if they choose. Many, however, seek her direct involvement. “Travel is deeply personal,” she says. “When someone trusts you with their plans, you owe them patience and presence.” Perkins invests considerable time speaking with travelers, learning about their preferences, and shaping itineraries that align with their expectations. In addition to transportation and lodging, she assists with access to entertainment experiences, recognizing that memorable trips often include moments beyond the itinerary.
Adding another layer to her professional portfolio is Beyond Beauty & Accessories. This venture complements her other work by focusing on self-expression and confidence, themes that echo her wellness philosophy. Whether someone is preparing for a trip, refining daily routines, or simply exploring new ways to feel comfortable in their skin, Perkins sees beauty as part of a broader conversation about self-care.
Across all these endeavors, Perkins maintains a visible online presence, particularly on professional networking platforms where she shares insights, engages with peers, and introduces her services to wider audiences. Her goals are to expand her reach in wellness and travel, build lasting relationships with clients, and become a trusted name within her communities. Recognition, for her, is about consistency. “I want my work to be remembered as an extension of genuine care,” she remarks. “If someone walks away feeling seen, valued, and supported, then I’ve helped reinforce trust in what wellness can mean.”
