Founder and Director of Ibiza Retreats: Larah is a Visionary, Holistic Leadership Mentor, who began Ibiza Retreats in 2007 to offer integrated wellness retreats for all ages, levels and needs.
Larah trained as a Clinical Yoga Therapist (Yoga Campus,) with the distinct aspiration of bridging the gap between the medical, physical and esoteric worlds. She is a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher, NLP Master Practitioner and Holistic Life Coach who has written for Yoga Magazine and Natural Health, amongst other publications and was a Wellness editor of Psychologies Magazine.
In 1999, Larah began seeking alternative paths to wellness as she attempted to recover from chronic physical and emotional trauma, caused by a car accident. In this moment, having personally met with the limitations of conventional, allopathic medicine, she was drawn to the philosophy of Yoga for mind/body wellness. Larah began to practise Hatha, Astanga and Shadow, and to evaluate her health holistically.
She combined Yoga with other complimentary therapies and educated herself on the power of these modalities and the correlation between emotional, physical and social wellness. After she made a full recovery, she knew she wanted to share her experiences and the wisdom and potency of these modalities with many others.
In 2007 Larah founded Ibiza Retreats here on the island, having experienced that Ibiza has its own, unique healing frequency. For twelve years Larah co-directed Ibiza Retreats alongside Susie Howell and together they developed and expanded their formula for transformative retreats, incorporating the teachings of a team of world-class teachers, healers and holistic therapists, to offer the most inclusive and accessible programs, and becoming leaders in their field.
Every body has a different story… our biology is our biography
“If you are navigating life’s challenges and seeking a space for healing and reconnecting with your self-worth and purpose in life, Larah’s retreats are invaluable sanctuaries.”.
It was a precious opportunitiy to reconnect with my true self. Amidst life’s upheavals, like break-ups or loss, this haven became my refuge.”
Since 2022, Larah has been directing Ibiza Retreats independently, incorporating principles of regeneration into the Ibiza Retreats philosophy. The principles were born from her increasing awareness of global environmental issues and having experienced the impact of tourism on the island she calls home. As a business leader and educator in the wellness field, she now ensures every event, retreat and experience organised by Ibiza Retreats aligns fully with regenerative living as standard.
