About Us

Welcome

We’re grateful you found your way to us.

We are Kristin and Christian. Our shared journey has shown us early on how precious a natural and mindful way of living can be. After the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, the desire to understand health holistically grew within us — to bring body, mind, and soul back into harmony. A Panchakarma treatment in India allowed us to experience how deeply healing relief, rest, and traditional cleansing can be.

During this time, we discovered SHESHA — a Kerala-based company that embodies Ayurveda in its purest form. Ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest health systems, combines lifestyle, nutrition, and herbal knowledge into a deeply holistic approach. The natural, traditionally crafted SHESHA products became a meaningful part of our everyday life.

About Us

From all of these experiences, our heartfelt vision emerged:an Ayurveda Retreat on Gozo — a place where you can reconnect with purity, nature, and inner balance.Our approach is holistic: beyond classical Ayurveda, we offer ways to practice healthy living, experience yoga, and gently address emotional imbalance or trauma.Our retreat is open to everyone — whether you wish to step into a transformative inner journey or simply seek a peaceful space to slow down, unwind, and recharge. We look forward to walking this path with you — towards greater well-being, clarity, and balance.
