About me
Ich weiß welche positiven Auswirkungen Yoga und Meditation auf unseren Köper haben. Mentale Gesundheit, das richtige mindset und gesunde Ernährung gehören ebenfalls zu einem „healthy lifestyle“. …all das findest du bei meinem Retreat am Meer. Ich begleite dich auf deinem Weg zu mehr Achtsamkeit und persönlichem Wachstum. Gemeinsam entdecken wir, wie du mit einfachen Tools aus Yoga und Meditation dein Leben nachhaltig verändern kannst – hin zu mehr Balance, Gelassenheit und Freude. Durch Krankheiten und Verluste wurde mir vor vielen Jahren bewusst, wie kostbar unsere Zeit und unser Leben wirklich sind. Ich habe gelernt, nicht alles auf später zu verschieben und möglichst viele Augenblicke bewusst zu erleben. In den letzten Jahren habe ich durch meine tägliche Yogapraxis, Atemübungen und Meditation einen Weg zu mehr Achtsamkeit und innerem Frieden gefunden. Dabei habe ich gelernt, Dankbarkeit zu empfinden und selbst die kleinen Dinge wertzuschätzen. Das Gefühl, im Hamsterrad festzustecken und sich in Nebensächlichkeiten zu verlieren, kenne ich nur zu gut. Doch ich habe erkannt, dass es wichtig ist, Werte zu haben, sich Prioritäten zu setzen und Veränderungen zuzulassen – auch wenn Stillstand bequem scheint, lässt er uns nicht wachsen. Es ist wichtig, achtsamer zu leben, sich auf Neues einzulassen und danach zu streben, sich weiterzuentwickeln.

About me
What began with yoga became a journey in search of a healthier way of living.
From an early age, I was fascinated by one question: What truly helps people stay healthy, feel energised and age well?
That search led me far beyond the yoga mat.
It led me to the evidence-based principles of Lifestyle Medicine, as well as centuries-old health traditions from different cultures—from yoga and Ayurveda to meditation and Zen, and ultimately to my Executive Education programmes at Harvard Medical School.
Today, I bring these worlds together.
I combine evidence-based health principles with mindful ways of living, showing how small, sustainable habits can help reduce stress, restore energy and support healthy ageing.
My Journey
For many years, I have worked in a demanding professional environment, where I experienced first-hand how stress, time pressure and responsibility can affect our health and wellbeing.
At the same time, personal experiences and loss changed my perspective on what truly matters.
I came to realise that our health is shaped every day by the choices we make.
Movement. Nutrition. Sleep. Stress management. Rest. Social connection.
Small habits with a big impact.
Science as the Foundation
To deepen my practical experience with scientific knowledge, I completed several Executive Education programmes at Harvard Medical School, specialising in Lifestyle & Wellness Coaching, Nutrition and Sustainable Health.
There, I discovered the evidence-based principles of Lifestyle Medicine—a field that demonstrates how movement, nutrition, sleep, stress management and social connection profoundly influence our health and wellbeing.
Today, these principles form the foundation of my work.
Inspiration from Different Cultures
Through my travels, I have had the opportunity to experience a wide range of health philosophies and mindful ways of living.
From yoga and Ayurveda to meditation, Zen and Eastern mindfulness practices—and most recently, my experiences in Japan—I gradually recognised that the healthiest cultures in the world share one important principle:
They are not built on perfection.
They are built on small habits, practised every day.
This insight continues to shape Bella Spiaggia today.
Bella Spiaggia Lifestyle
Bella Spiaggia was created from the desire to offer a place where people can not only slow down and restore their energy, but also return home with new inspiration for their health and wellbeing.
My retreats combine yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, Mediterranean living and the evidence-based principles of Lifestyle Medicine to create a holistic experience for body and mind.
My goal is not short-term change.
It is to inspire a healthy lifestyle that lasts.
Why Hvar?
The sea has always fascinated me.
There is something deeply calming about listening to the waves, walking along the shore or simply gazing out across the endless horizon.
For many years, I dreamed of creating a place surrounded by nature, right by the sea—a place where people could slow down, breathe deeply and restore their energy.
When I finally discovered a small house on the island of Hvar, I immediately knew: this was the place.
With great care and attention to every detail, it gradually became Bella Spiaggia—a Mediterranean retreat that today welcomes guests from around the world.
I feel grateful to share this special place with you.
