American living in Spain · BASI comprehensively certified Pilates instructor

I found Pilates through injury rehabilitation, and later an autoimmune diagnosis deepened my understanding of the relationship between movement, stress, rest, and wellbeing.

After five years of living in Spain, I’ve fallen in love with the slower rhythm of Mediterranean life. Long meals with friends, time outdoors, and a culture that values connection have shaped the way I think about wellbeing.

Lichene was born from those experiences and from a belief that we thrive when we thrive when we live in greater harmony with ourselves and our environment.

My hope is that these retreats give people the space to slow down, reconnect, and tune into what their body has been trying to tell them.
