  • Description

    G'day!

    We are a couple from Australia, currently travelling and immersing ourselves in different cultures. During our time in Canada we have been learning how to sail while living on our 29ft Ranger on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.

    I am grateful to be qualified as Yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, Reiki practitioner and Sound healer, originally from England but I have been calling Australia home since I was 6 years old. I love animals, spending time in nature and finding peace through meditation.

    After five years in real estate, I realised the importance of work-life balance, leading me to the wellness industry. I love exploring new avenues, nurturing creativity and learning along the way. My passion lies in guiding others toward holistic living and self-discovery.

    Jacob is currently taking a break from his Bachelor’s Degree of Health Safety and Environment. He has experience working in surf instructing, carpentry, general labouring, hospitality, being a life guard and farm hand. Born in Australia, although Jacob's early school years were spent in Qatar, surrounded by diverse cultures, returning to Australia for the remainder of his education.

    Being an avid spearfisherman, Jacob has always loved spending his spare time in and around the ocean which has allowed him to combine passions of nature, wellness and fitness.

    We are both so excited to share our skills and create meaningful connections with people across the globe.
