How WanderWell began

A friendship, a shared idea

The inspiration for WanderWell began during a yoga retreat at Casa Paco d'Ilhas in Ericeira, Portugal. After a week of practice, sunshine, and nourishing meals, we felt incredible — but what surprised us most was the clarity that came from having the space to set down our daily roles and reconnect with ourselves.

It also gave us time to deepen our friendship over slow mornings, long walks, and evening tea. As adults with full lives, it's rare to have unstructured time with friends — to talk about everything and nothing, to share hopes and fears that don't surface in quick catch-ups.

On one of those meandering walks, we realized our shared love of travel, yoga, and thoughtful experiences could become something meaningful for others. WanderWell was born from that moment: a place to explore possibilities, discover potential, and come home to yourself.

Two friends, a shared belief that a week of practice in a beautiful place can gently rearrange the way you move through your life, and a first retreat: 5–10 September 2027 in Ericeira, Portugal. More destinations to follow.

I first came to yoga 28 years ago as a way to manage anxiety after graduating university. Over time, my practice expanded to include meditation and breathwork, becoming a steady source of clarity and grounding. As a teacher, my intention is to help you reconnect with your mind and body through a breath-centered practice. It's not about perfect poses — it's about honoring your body and learning to listen inward.

Retreats have been a meaningful part of my own practice, and I'm grateful to share this experience with you. A retreat isn't an escape or a quick fix; it's a pause. A chance to step outside your daily roles, reconnect with yourself, and return home with a deeper sense of possibility. I hope you'll join me in this truly magical place.
