Meet Dominique Chapman  —

Founder of CRAVE

Wow, you're truly a dedicated and curious human to still be reading about Crave haha

Hi, my name is Dominique but you can call me Dom. That's what my friends call me.

I am a San Diego native born and raised. I moved to Oregon for College and, after that, moved to New York to dance full time and be in the edgy art scene. I came home because of COVID-19 and realized San Diego needed more community and more events. I asked myself what I was craving out of life and took everything that I was missing and turned that into a business in hopes other people would feel the same way. Turns out they do, lucky me!

I noticed a lot of events and fitness studios didn’t foster a community environment, I was getting tired of seeing people leave without even sharing their name. This piqued my interest and has now become my life work. How can I help people connect through mindfulness and meaningful conversations? 

Then, what started as just yoga became something much bigger. Crave now represents all types of community wellness avenues. Wellness is not a one-size-fits-all; I wanted to give people an opportunity to be a part of a community that offers different experiences that feed their souls. A community that feels like home.

I had been practicing yoga my whole life and teaching yoga here and there, but I never thought it would be the catapult for my life’s work. What started out as an outlet for life’s stress evolved into something magical, a fricken awesome community.

The most important thing that I value about myself is my passion for human connection. I enjoy making meaningful connections with the people who attend my events as well as the businesses I collaborate with.
