Wellness Begins With Connection
For Tutti Koslowsky, wellness begins with connection.
A New Orleans native with more than 20 years of experience in creative development, Tutti has built a career around storytelling, culture and bringing people together. After spending 10 years working in New York City, she returned home to New Orleans, where her creative work continues to intersect with community, local business, the arts and the vibrant culture that makes the city so unique.
A Creative Force Rooted in New Orleans
As Creative Director for Engel & Völkers New Orleans, Tutti’s work goes far beyond traditional marketing. She creates experiences that bring people together, supports local businesses, highlights neighborhood culture and fosters meaningful relationships across the city.
Outside of work, she is also deeply involved in New Orleans’ theater and Mardi Gras dance krewe scenes, and she is a singer/songwriter passionate about using creativity to inspire connection, culture and wellness.
That spirit is exactly what drew her to WellNXT.
“I’m motivated by the opportunity of being a partner to bring people together around something that genuinely improves their lives,” Tutti shares.
Community as a Foundation for Wellbeing
For Tutti, wellness is not only about fitness or nutrition, though both are important. It is also about the people who encourage you, challenge you, celebrate you and show up for you. Sustainable wellbeing, she believes, is built through community.
“I’ve seen firsthand how a strong sense of community improves overall well-being,” she says. “When people feel connected to where they live and to the people around them, they’re more likely to invest in themselves and each other.”
Why Wellness Feels Different in New Orleans
That perspective feels especially powerful in New Orleans, a city known for bringing people together through music, food, movement, celebration and culture. Tutti believes wellness does not have to be an individual pursuit. It can be something people experience collectively, whether through walking through a neighborhood, attending a community event, playing sports with friends, supporting local initiatives or sharing a meaningful conversation.
Looking Ahead as a WellNXT Ambassador
As a WellNXT Ambassador, Tutti is excited to meet culture bearers and like-minded people who see the value of fitness and wellness across mind, body and spirit. Her passion for creativity, local culture and community-building makes her a natural part of the movement toward a healthier, more connected New Orleans.
“WellNXT Fest resonates with me because it’s more than a fitness event,” Tutti says. “It’s an opportunity to create connection and inspire people to prioritize their well-being together.”
Building a Healthier, More Connected New Orleans
WellNXT New Orleans is rooted in the idea that whole-self wellness includes physical, nutritional, mental, social and community wellbeing. The New Orleans experience will bring together movement, wellness education, local culture, community engagement, music, and immersive brand experiences as part of Fit Fête New Orleans, November 13–14, 2026, at New Orleans City Park.
For Tutti, that mission is deeply personal and deeply local.
“I’d love to help build excitement around an event that celebrates not only healthier individuals, but a healthier, more connected New Orleans.”
