Wellness travel goes beyond a holiday. It's intentional time away to restore your body, quiet your mind, and reconnect with what matters. Through carefully curated group retreats and self-guided itineraries, I design experiences that combine movement, nature, local culture, nourishing food, and meaningful connection.
I'm Rima. Growing up between Lebanon, London, and the United States — and later living in Barcelona, Spain and now Lisbon, Portugal — I grew up speaking multiple languages and have always been drawn to new cultures, languages, and ways of living.
Movement, wellness, and curiosity about the world have always been part of who I am. I have spent years practicing, studying, and seeking out transformative wellness experiences — completing multiple yoga teacher trainings, running marathons, studying martial arts, and taking dance classes.
I completed my first yoga teacher training in 2002 and, in 2005, I founded Reston Yoga and built a thriving community over two decades. I trained as a Holistic Health Counselor with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and as a raw vegan chef at the Living Light Culinary Institute. I have attended yoga retreats, fitness retreats, Ayurveda retreats, juice fasting retreats, luxury spa retreats, and ceremonies led by shamans. I have hiked Machu Picchu and embarked on bespoke wellness journeys across the world. I have also hosted wellness events for over 100 people and invited influential speakers on wellness topics.
I hosted my first retreat in Tulum in 2012 — what started as one retreat a year soon became multiple retreats across Bali, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Iceland, and Portugal.
Lisbon, Portugal is now my home — a place I fell in love with and keep returning to. I know what a truly transformative wellness experience feels like, because I have spent a large portion of my life seeking them out.
Small groups. Immersive experiences.

Space is intentionally limited.
Can't join a group retreat? Use my self-guided and planned itineraries to travel independently through destinations where I have hosted past wellness retreats. Every route, stay, and experience has been personally curated.
Whether you're joining a group retreat, exploring a self-guided itinerary, or looking for a fully custom wellness trip — I'd love to hear from you.
