How It Began

For the past 12 years, I have experienced the Sahara alongside my mother, who organized and guided these retreats.

Now I have stepped into her place to nurture what she created and let more people enjoy the gifts of the desert.

My mother guided me in meditation, spirituality, and leading groups, not just practical skills but also the subtle ways to create space for growth, reflection, and connection.

My Second Home

We worked all these years with the same Bedouin Family,
I was introduced to a different way of life, where the harmony with nature and animals is magical. Observing this has shaped my own approach to guiding and being in the Sahara.

It naturally became my second home because the desert is the perfect space for simplicity and being yourself.

My Approach

I completed my 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training in India, deepening my love for yoga, meditation & breathwork.
I invite you each morning to join these practices to set an intention for the day.

Lastely I offer a safe and open space for sharing, reflecting and growing. Be sure there is always an open ear and heart listening, giving guidance, compassion and support.
