Lauren Piscatelli, Director of Lifestyles
Why Lauren loves Highpoint at Fort Mill
In her role as Director of Lifestyles, Lauren Piscatelli strives to enhance residents’ overall wellness – while helping them continue to grow. “There are so many other aspects to wellness – physical, spiritual, intellectual – and it all adds value to everybody’s lives.”
Lauren’s unique background in everything from skydiving to yoga gives her a special perspective that Highpoint residents appreciate – and she is happy to pursue her passions as the community continues to grow. “It’s a natural fit to do what I truly enjoy doing and fulfill my hopes and dreams while helping others to fulfill theirs.”
Lauren Piscatelli did not take a straightforward path in her journey to become Highpoint at Fort Mill’s Director of Lifestyles – her particular path involved jumping out of airplanes at high altitudes more than 6,000 times. Starting as a trained skydiver and skydiving videographer, Lauren eventually became certified as a tandem skydive instructor, and she sees a strong connection between this unique hobby and her role at Highpoint. “Our goal is helping people be the best version of themselves and encouraging people to get out of their comfort zones to do something they may have never considered doing before.”
Lauren is also a certified yoga and kickboxing instructor, bringing her expertise to the growing fitness program at Highpoint, which includes strength training, yoga, Pilates, walking club, boxing and even cardio drumming. “Health and wellness should be at the forefront of our minds as we help residents to live their healthiest and best lives.” She also recognizes the value of spiritual, intellectual and creative wellness and uses this multi-faceted approach in creating the community’s lifestyle programming – incorporating craft projects, live entertainment, acrylic painting, ping pong competitions and more.
A hobbyist at heart, Lauren’s enthusiasm and knowledge of a wide variety of activities and interests gives residents the added boost they need to immerse themselves in the fun-filled, healthy lifestyle at Highpoint.
