I design 40+ retreats and online programs to help you boost energy, heal your gut, and find balance—inside and out.

I’m Linda, a Holistic Therapist, Wellness Coach, and expert in plant-based, Macrobiotic & Ayurvedic nutrition. I craft transformational retreats and personalised wellness e

xperiences that blend nourishing food, cultural adventures, and self-care in a way that actually feels fun. No extreme detoxes. Just powerful shifts that leave you glowing from the inside out. I help you boost energy, sharpen focus, and heal your gut—without restrictive diets, hours in the kitchen, or relying on caffeine to get through the day. My approach fuses anti-inflammatory, plant-based meals, healing spices, and ancient wellness wisdom to optimise digestion, vitality, and longevity—making healthy living feel effortless, not overwhelming. From soul-stirring retreats in 15th-century monasteries to bespoke at-home wellness resets, I help you ditch brain fog, fatigue, and stress—without giving up flavour, joy, or a cheeky bit of adventure.

✨ Wellness should feel like living, not limiting. For those who’ve followed me since my boutique hotel days, you might be wondering… is this the same Linda? It absolutely is! A little backstory…

For those who remember The Urban Villa…

For nine years, The Urban Villa Boutique Hotel was Marbella’s hidden gem—an intimate retreat, whispered about by friends, a place to escape, recharge, and soak in breathtaking views. Sadly, like many, I had to close due to Covid and the challenges that followed. But if you loved the warm hospitality, the personal touch, and the unique experiences I created there—you’re going to love what I do now even more. Because now, I bring that same magic—wellness, connection, and transformation—to my retreats and programs. Different setting, same passion, same heart 💛

To our lovely Retreaters 💜​ Compiling some of these photos to make this video, I am so amazed by the 'metamorphosis'.

​I really wish you could see yourselves through my eyes. You all arrived perhaps a little bit frazzled or carrying the weight of the world, and you left looking absolutely glowing & radiant. Every single one of you looked super gorgeous... truly beautiful ladies inside and out... and it was such a pleasure to look after you all.

​To be fair, behind the scenes, it was a huge mountain of planning, checklists, and proper hard work over months, but doing it alongside the wonderful made it all possible. A massive thank you to Lori... my partner in crime helping make this such a success.

​While Lori was out guiding you through those mountain wanders, coastal walks and twice daily yoga sessions, I was usually tucked away in my kitchen "laboratory" concocting those healthy creations!

I hope you enjoyed my weird and wonderful nutrient dense concoctions (you definitely ate way more than the 30 plant based ingredients we spoke about over those 4 days)... even the porridge had veggies disguised within the spices 😋

The meals were all made with a lot of love, using the best ingredients I could find at the local farmers' markets and eco markets....

And without the massive help from Marjan, I don't know what I would have done without her. Big thank you 🙏

​I was so glad I managed to down tools for a bit to join our special guest, Tania Mather ... I’m still floating from her Crystal Bowl's sound bath... it was a moment I could sit still and just breathe with you all!

​I hope this little video brings back all those little moments that made the Spring Reset Retreat so special... Like when we were chatting away about detox secrets and deep sleep rituals (who's sleeping like a baby now), or just laughing & nattering over meal times

​But really, the secret ingredient was you. The retreat was a success because of the lovely ladies who came. Each of you brought your own unique flair and energy to the group, and I’m so grateful for that.

​Thank you for being so wonderful and for trusting us with your Spring Reset.

​With love
Linda & Lori

Tarifa Retreat: Behind the Scenes! 🎬 ​I’m usually in the Good Morning Spain TV studio, but this time, producer Nicole King came to the location! Check out the full TV program for all the latest news and tips from around Spain! Spring Reset Retreat on at the 15:21 mark. ✨

​We were so close to Africa (14km!) and that the Riff Mountains felt like they were in our back garden.

For me, I loved that some of my "past retreaters" returned & what a difference, they looked so different from the last retreats... so radiant & amazing.

And we loved even more seeing the transformation within only 4 days of "retreating"... .
You should have seen the whole group leave looking like they’d had a month-long spa break! 🧖‍♀️
We really should have taken before & after shots to prove the difference. ✨️

​On this evening's menu (Anti-inflammatory & Ayurvedic goodness):
​Beetroot & Thyme Soup 🥣
​Vegan Shepherd’s Pie with sweet potato mash.
​Apple & Plum Crumble with a sour cherry kick. 🍒

​While I was playing "kitchen nutritional scientist" and talking detox & sleep rituals, my partner in organising the retreat Lori Sjollema led amazing hikes and yoga, and Tania Mather hosted a crystal bowl sound bath that had me sleeping like a log! 💤

​What’s next? 🏰
I'm heading to a 15th Century Monastery in the Seville Mountains 14-18 May!

It is a private monument, so we keep the group small... just space to properly switch off. So message me to grab one of the last spaces 🙏

Behind the scenes in Tarifa! 🎬
I’m usually the one popping into the Good Morning Spain TV studio every week doing my Wellness Editor bit, but this time, things got a little more "on location."

The lovely Nicole King (our fabulous producer) came out to the retreat in Tarifa and filmed a little about the Spring Reset Retreat I organised with Lori Sjollema! Thank you, sweetie... it was such a treat having you there to capture the vibe. (You can check out the segment at the 15:21 mark on the show!)

I always love the setting. We were so close to Africa... literally 12–14km... that the Riff Mountains felt like they were in our front garden. That view just shifts your perspective instantly.

The group of ladies who joined us were just amazing. I’m a firm believer that people meet for a reason; the laughter around the dinner table and the way everyone supported each other was so special. Messages are exchanged, and people are helped to move in new directions... timing really is everything!

We had some of my "regulars" back again, and it was so lovely catching up and seeing the difference in them all.

The transformation in the group was wild. They all looked so radiant by the end that we really should have taken "Before & After" shots.
Four days of clean living, movement, and nature, and they looked like they’d had a month-long spa break! (Or maybe it’s just proof that my nutritional creations actually work! 😉)

From the Kitchen Laboratory 🥣
I spent most of my time playing "kitchen scientist," whipping up anti-inflammatory meals based on Macrobiotic and Ayurvedic principles. A few of my favourite creations from this trip:

Beetroot & Thyme soup (the colour alone is healing!)

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie: Lentils, mushrooms, and veggies with a cheeky mixed potato and sweet potato mash on top.

Vegan Apple & Plum Crumble: Featuring dried cherries for that perfect sour kick, with a crumble made from nuts, oats, rice, and almond flour.

Between meals, I was giving talks on the power of detoxing and sharing my "secrets" for a good night’s sleep... rituals, habits, and the specific foods that help your body boost Melatonin.

While I was busy in the kitchen, Lori Sjollema was being an absolute superstar as always. She led the nature hikes and kept everyone moving with daily Hatha, Restorative, and Yin Yoga, plus those beautiful evening Yoga Nidra sessions.

We also brought in Tania Mather for a sound bath with her crystal bowls. I’m not exaggerating when I say I slept like a log afterwards... those vibrations are pure magic!

It was four days of pure soul-food. I can’t wait for you all to see the segment plus the rest of the program with all the other exciting news from the Good Morning Team!

From Carthusian history to UNESCO-certified stars... ready for a real reset?✨ I’ve organised more than 40 retreats, but this location is especially rare. It’s a 15th-century monastery in a "recovery" zone where the geobiology helps your body repair 3x faster.

It is a four-day deep dive into cellular repair. We’ll use five massive gongs in the sacred halls to sweep away the mental clutter... maybe even stress you didn't even realise you were holding onto. I’ll also be personally overseeing a specific anti-inflammatory menu to get your gut health back on track.

Some of the benefits you can expect:
A flatter tummy and happy digestion.
Deep, restorative sleep.
A clear head and a calmer nervous system and many more wholesome benefits...

From hiking the 600-million-year-old red rock formations at Cerro del Hierro with a botanical guide to releasing years of tension in a Flamenco Therapy class, this is about shifting your energy. You’ll leave feeling grounded, recharged, and absolutely unstoppable.

Check the event details for the full itinerary and the science behind why this reset works.⬇️

It’s a private monument, so we keep the group small... just space to properly switch off.

Already on our last spaces. So message me now to save your space.

Hugs
Linda

You know those places that just lift you… and suddenly you’re that person jumping on the beach without a care in the world…

Tarifa does that to you.

The light hits differently here… brighter, clearer. You really notice it on the Costa de la Luz (LIGHT Coast)… like someone’s quietly switched you back on again ☀️

Little things I love…

You can see Morocco across the water… and be there in 35 mins by ferry 🛥️

Stand at Isla de las Palomas with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other

And the sand? Proper soft… the kind that gets everywhere (yes, everywhere)!

Wander the old town… cobbled streets, whitewashed walls, that slightly Moorish feel.

This is exactly where we’re hosting our Spring Reset Retreat (14–18 April)… it's already next week! Wow!
If you’re joining Lori & me… get ready to feel that shift ✨
Missed it? I’ll add you to the next one 😉

P.S. Had to add a photo of the peaceful seagulls... they're forgiven after their attempt to attack the drone on a previous post (if you've been following my posts) 😅

Spain’s Semana Santa is something else. I love all the traditions here... it’s an intense, sensory journey that retraces the story of Jesus from his entrance into Jerusalem to his death and resurrection. 🙏

​Here’s some things why it's different:

​Tronos: These ornate floats are absolute giants. You’ll see hundreds of people carrying them, many walking barefoot for hours as an act of penance and sacrifice.

​The Capirotas: Those iconic pointed hoods hide the wearer’s identity, ensuring their devotion stays humble and anonymous.

​Saeta: Everything stops when someone starts singing this from a balcony. It’s a raw, flamenco-style prayer that honestly sends chills down your spine.

​The Legionaries: These soldiers march with insane precision, singing out "El Novio de la Muerte"... an anthem about bravery and facing one's fate.

​Frankincense: The smoke is everywhere. Historically, it was actually used as a natural sanitiser and expectorant to clear people’s airways and purify the air in the packed, narrow streets.

​The Wax Hunters: You’ll even see kids running around with balls of foil or paper competing to catch the dripping wax from the nazarenos' long candles to make the biggest wax balls they can!

​It’s beautiful how the traditions continue & they’ve kept everything from ancient health hacks to these little local quirks alive... there’s nothing else like it. 🕯️

Happy Easter 🌻

Somewhere between the ebb & flow… I forget about being serious. Couldn’t resist a little skip... my inner child insisted 😅

Sometimes, the most sensible thing you can do…
is stop being sensible.

Life decisions? Still in progress… 🤷🏼‍♀️

But right now... I’m playing tag with the tide.
It's peaceful down here…

While above me? Absolute chaos. The seagulls don't like the drone & are trying to attack it. No clear winner yet 🤔

Just a little reminder to stay wildly playful along the way... and hopefully, with minimal seagull interference 😅

Proof that even the prickliest situations can grow something so lovely. 🌵🧡
​I’ve never seen a cactus flower quite like this... have you?
I had to share because it’s such a perfect metaphor for resilience: something so delicate and vibrant thriving in the middle of all those hardy spikes.

​Nature is restorative. Science calls it Biophilia... the idea that our bodies are literally wired to de-stress the moment we step into the wild. It lowers cortisol and shifts your nervous system back into balance (as long as you stay away from the spikes! 😂).

A "brain cooler" for your desk - A Ritual from the Monastery🫠 14-18 May

Between the gong baths, the flamenco sessions, and the incredible food, you won't be just getting a break... You’ll leave the monastery with a nervous system that finally knows how to switch off.

It’s the ultimate reset: the deeper you can drop into that rest, the better you’ll feel (and perform) when the pressure is back on.

See what I’m organising near Seville this May!
