Step into spring with a spring in your step
Ever feel like you’ve been pushing through for months… holding it all together, ticking the boxes, but running on empty? Sometimes it isn’t another plan you need. It’s a chance to press pause, breathe properly, and remember what feeling energised actually feels like.
That’s where my retreats come in… nourishment, movement, clarity, and just enough adventure to wake up parts of you that got a little lost between autumn and now.
Spring is nature’s reset button: the season of clearing out, waking up and starting fresh. Nature doesn’t rush, and yet everything changes.
Winter can feel long. By spring many of us are functioning, but foggy... a little heavier in body and mind.
If you’ve been running on responsibility and “I’ll rest later”, this is your invitation to stop pushing and let momentum return naturally.
The Spring Reset Retreat in Tarifa is a gentle recalibration for women who do a lot, care deeply, and want to recalibrate before exhaustion makes the decision for them.
Sunshine. Sea air. Soul-stretching movement. Deeply nourishing food. No expectationto be anyone but yourself.
Think of it as refreshing, replenishing, resetting... before the rest of the year kicks in.
Welcome to the Spring Reset Retreat – Tarifa, Spain
14–18 April 2026
Yoga • Nourishment • Nervous System Reset • Nature
If life has been “a lot” lately… you are not alone.
Spring doesn’t push. It invites.
It’s the season the body is ready to let go… of heaviness, stagnation and the low-grade
stress we hardly notice until it lifts.
Not through force or extreme detoxing, but by moving with the season.
If you’ve been powering through on determination, caffeine and good intentions and
wondering where your energy went, you’re not alone.
Sometimes the wisest move is not to push harder… it’s to pause and breathe.
Together with the wonderful Lori Sjollema, we’ve designed the Spring Reset Retreat
as a gentle return to clarity and vitality so the body can soften back into balance.
This is a carefully curated 4-night retreat designed to gently reset your system... physically, mentally and emotionally.
Not a bootcamp. Not a jam-packed schedule. Just enough structure to feel held, with plenty of space to simply be.
4 nights luxury accommodation at Huerta Belinda
All meals included — vibrant, seasonal food supporting a gentle spring cleanse

No rushing. No performance. No expectations. Just nourishment… in every form.
If you felt a tiny “yes” while reading… follow it.
Forget crowded resorts and ticking itineraries. We’ll be at Huerta Belinda, a majestic villa tucked into the hills just 8 km from Bohemian Tarifa.
From your spacious en-suite room you’ll look across the Mediterranean to the Rif Mountains of Africa — a quietly powerful backdrop for rest, reflection and perspective.
With lush gardens, a beautiful pool, peaceful patios and wide-open views, this place softly resets your priorities and let’s the nervous system exhale.
Fair warning: leaving may require willpower.
If this sounds like you, you may have just found your place.
Food should heal and delight.
You’ll enjoy vibrant, seasonal meals designed to support a gentle spring cleanse.
Kitchari, Ayurveda’s most nourishing dish, will make a daily appearance… each time in a fresh, delicious form.
No boring bowls here.
In a live cooking demonstration, you’ll learn:
– How spices influence digestion, energy and clarity
– How to eat seasonally and intuitively
– How to bring this way of eating home — practically and joyfully
Just food that feels good and does good.
If you’re craving a reset, you’re exactly who this retreat is for.
This retreat is guided by experience, not trends.
Every guide brings more than 25–30 years of lived practice, not certificates collected last weekend.
This isn’t about twisting yourself into a pretzel, bypassing real life, or chanting your way out of reality.
It’s about coming back into your body, calming your nervous system, and remembering what balance actually feels like… not the Instagram version.
Strength. Flexibility. Inner equilibrium.
“Hatha” translates as sun (ha) and moon (tha) — the dance between doing and being, effort and ease.
This grounding practice builds strength, mobility, and stability while gently aligning body, breath, and focus. Expect to feel centred, clear-headed, and quietly powerful… without breaking a sweat for the sake of it.
Slow down. Sink in. Let go.
Yin works deep into the connective tissues — fascia, ligaments, tendons and joints — places modern life loves to tighten.
This is a soft, passive practice where gravity does the work and you do the surrendering. Stillness becomes the teacher, releasing stored tension and opening energetic pathways. Part yoga, part meditation, part ahhhhhh.
The art of doing nothing — brilliantly.
Often called yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra guides you into a deeply restorative state between waking and dreaming. Half an hour of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of 4 hours deep sleep.
It calms the nervous system, melts stress, supports emotional balance, and improves focus and mental clarity. One session can feel like hours of sleep… without the duvet or the guilt.
A tune-up for your nervous system. And your soul.
This immersive sound journey uses alchemical quartz crystal singing bowls to elevate your vibration and gently recalibrate your inner world.
The frequencies guide you into profound relaxation, helping to release emotional residue, soften the mind, and restore inner harmony. Time dissolves. The body exhales. Something subtle yet powerful shifts.
Effects often include:
Deep nervous system reset
Emotional release & trauma softening
Enhanced clarity, creativity & intuition
Improved sleep & mood
A lifted, radiant feeling… yes, even a “sound bath facelift”
No effort required. Just lie down, receive, and let the sound do the work.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign — consider this your gentle nudge.
This retreat is personalised, nourishing and deeply supportive for a select few.
Your investment reflects the care, expertise and intention combined into every detail for a small private group.

My approach is shaped by travelling through 60+ countries, hosting retreats in beautiful locations, and three decades of studying how food, lifestyle, and mindset shape the body.
I blend together plant-based nourishment, Ayurvedic and Macrobiotic principles, grounding detox support, lifestyle shifts that really work, and my much-loved reflexology… inviting in the spice of life with a refreshing touch of adventure and cultural flavour along the way.
If you’re in Spain, you may have seen me on Good Morning Spain TV, sharing simple Monday wellness tips… because feeling fantastic shouldn’t require a manual.

Not at all. Everything is adaptable, optional and supportive.
No extremes. Gentle, intelligent nourishment.
Absolutely not. You’ll be wonderfully well-fed.
Most women do — and often say it’s one of the best parts.
Yes. Clearer head. Calmer system. Lighter body. Brighter outlook.
Spring doesn’t demand change. It offers possibility.
If you feel the nudge… that quiet yes… trust it. Join us in Tarifa, April 2026 and return
feeling lighter, clearer, and more like you.
If your body keeps asking for rest — it’s time to listen.
