About US
Meet the visionaries behind Selva & Sage's philosophy for wellness through design.
OUR FOUNDERS
DANIELLE PARÉ
Co-founder
Danielle made a big lifestyle change in 2011 when she packed her bags for a life on the beaches of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Spending over a decade in the fastest growing city in Latin America, Danielle has had the opportunity to work alongside the visionaries of Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
Recruited by the strongest developers in the region, she specialized in real estate sales for various developments across the Riviera Maya, until ultimately co-founding her own real estate agency in 2016.
Over the years, Danielle’s focus shifted to working alongside developers, architects and investors to bring projects and developments to life.
The creative aspect of working with architects sparked her passion and love for architectural and interior design.
Her love of beautiful spaces, design and beach lifestyle have come together organically to co-create Selva & Sage alongside her partner Sandra Price.
SANDRA PRICE
Co-founder
Sandra has been living abroad since 2010 when she sold all her belongings and moved from Canada to the jungles of Samara, Costa Rica.
Purchasing her first property in 2011, she began her journey into the world of real estate by designing, renovating and operating a three-unit beach rental.
In 2014 Sandra co-founded, designed, and operated her first vegan restaurant, LuvBurger, combining all of her passions. This venture quickly took off and expanded into three successful locations in Samara, San Jose and Nosara, Costa Rica.
Throughout the years, Sandra was continuously cultivating her love of business, design and architecture. With time, her focus began to shift and her strong passion for design transitioned organically into the realm of interior design.
In 2021 Sandra made the decision to move to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, where Selva and Sage was born. Alongside her partner and co-founder Danielle Paré, their joint passion for design, the natural elements, and their unique beach lifestyle sparked a new successful business.
MARINA SAVVIS
Investment Advisor
Marina left her hometown Vancouver, British Columbia in 2015 to expand her wings and pursue her career in luxury resort sales.
After several years and several accolades for her achievements, she decided to continue her sales journey by expanding into the world of real estate. The real estate industry has allowed her to combine her passions; the joy of helping her clients find the investment property of their dreams and sharing the love of her beautiful beach lifestyle.
Her bubbly personality, her willingness to truly listen and her talent for identifying her clients’ needs have made her sales process a pleasure.
Quality over quantity is one of her deep values, and her love of design and architecture made her an excellent fit for the Selva & Sage team.
