Built From a Real
Journey
Eat Pray Maui was created from a simple but powerful belief: life should be lived with hunger, faith, and freedom.
Born in Santa Monica, California, and later moving to Maui, Jacques Thurman built Eat Pray Maui to carry a message bigger than one island — a message for people everywhere who want more out of life.
The brand was shaped by coastal ambition, island soul, family, faith, and the desire to inspire others through apparel, story, and lifestyle.
Signature message
"From Santa Monica roots to Maui soul this brand was built to inspire the world."

OUR STORY
From Santa Monica Energy to Maui Soul
A calmer, more premium story layout with stronger hierarchy, cleaner spacing, and a visual balance that feels closer to the other sections.
Eat Pray Maui
was inspired by a journey from Santa Monica, California, to the island of Maui — a journey shaped by ambition, faith, island life, and the pursuit of freedom.
The brand was created for people who believe success should have purpose, style should carry meaning, and life should be lived with intention.
Santa Monica gave the brand its coastal ambition. Maui gave it peace, soul, and aloha.
“You do not have to live on Maui to live with a Maui mindset.”
