For Rhiannon, after a number of years as a lawyer and social worker engaged in humanitarian work, an unexpected encounter along the Camino de Santiago and a serious injury that left her wheelchair-bound for three months became a catalyst for change and led her to leave her old life behind and begin anew in Alicante, Spain. This period of transition sparked profound personal growth, and while yoga and meditation had been a constant thread since a young age, moving beyond the physical practice to a deeper exploration of yogic philosophy ultimately inspired her to train and qualify as a yoga instructor.

Gina first discovered the world of Ayurveda at a time when she was questioning the purpose that lay beyond her fast-paced career in international events management. The constant travel and relentless climb up the corporate ladder had begun to wear thin. Learning about this ancient “science of life,” rooted in natural principles, offered her a new way of seeing the world - one that felt both grounding and transformative. Driven by curiosity, she devoted long hours to study while continuing to balance her demanding job for several more years. Eventually, she travelled to India for advanced training and took the big leap to make Ayurveda and natural therapies her full-time vocation.
