MEET THE TEAM

Sally Diesel

Founder & Festival Director

Sally is a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and the ultimate hype woman for all things movement, community, and wellness. With a passion for helping others feel strong and supported, she created Rise & Thrive to bring good people together for a day of sweat, smiles, and serious vibes. When she’s not organizing wellness magic, she’s probably out hiking or scouting the best gluten-free snacks in town.

Izzy Sciolla

Community + Vendor Experience Manager

Izzy is a yoga-loving, dance-teaching ray of sunshine who keeps the Rise & Thrive engine running. With a heart for movement and a serious eye for detail, she’s the behind-the-scenes force connecting with vendors, building relationships, and keeping the good vibes flowing. Whether she’s coordinating logistics or breaking it down in a sun salutation, Izzy brings rhythm, grace, and grounded energy to everything she does.
