Return to your feminine essence; softness, intuition & inner wisdom. Reconnect with guides, restore your energy & embrace your authentic self.

I’m Vanja. I trained at the Academy for Holistic Coaching in Bilthoven, the Netherlands...a place where the deep art of presence and embodiment became my foundation.

Now I am retreat manager and holistic lifestyle coach. But more than anything, I’m a lifelong explorer of everything that feels real and true.

I believe softness isn’t a luxury.... it’s essential. That time in nature, bare feet in the sand, salt on your skin, and the sound of the sea can heal more than a thousand words. And that coming home to yourself begins with slowing down, tuning in, and listening to the quiet wisdom of your heart.

I love many things; cacao in the morning sun, sisterhood around a fire, deep conversations, and the magic of a fresh start. But most of all, the ocean is where I come alive. That’s where I remember who I am.

From that place, I create retreats and coaching journeys where you’re invited to soften, to come home and to choose yourself again.

Lots of love,

Vanja


✨ About Vanja | Retreat Manager & Holistic Lifestyle Coach

Yes, this is what I need!

This retreat is an invitation to finally come back home to yourself - to step away from your busy life, your to-do lists, and all the roles you carry, and return to the woman you truly are underneath it all.
Here, in the softness of the Istrian sun, surrounded by nature, you will find space to breathe, rest, and reconnect. 
Through gentle yoga, guided meditation, feminine embodiment practices, breathwork and deep rituals, you will awaken your feminine essence - your intuition, softness, sensuality, and inner knowing. Yet, through profound energy healing and guided shamanic sessions you will restore both your feminine and masculine energy body, back to your authentic self. You will remember how it feels to slow down and receive without guilt, to release and take up space - to simply be, exactly as you are.
This retreat is a sacred pause: a place to restore your energy, regulate your nervous system, and open your heart again. You will be surrounded by other woman walking the same path.
