We are Paradiso Retreats

We are Marta and Danielle, two good friends who have embarked on the journey that is Paradiso Retreats to share with the world what we have experienced and are living each day.

Marta’s life changed when, at age 30, she found herself feeling empty. She was a successful business woman but somehow living up to society’s expectations did not make her feel fulfilled.

She embarked on a spiritual journey, going back to her roots. Abandoning a successful career, she move to Senegal, became a yoga instructor and started traveling the world.

Now at her 40’s, she shares from her own truth. From everything that she is and everything that healed her. Her passion is to share the journey of life with people by connecting through meditation and ritual, yoga, African dance and ‘Aguahara’ water therapy.

Danielle is a yoga student of Marta’s and this is how they met. Yoga (and Marta) came into Danielle’s life at a time when, after having spent 9 years raising children, she was ready to focus on herself again.

Marta shared all her knowledge of the physical exercises, the spiritual meditation, mantra singing and more. This opened so many doors for Danielle that she became passionate about sharing her positive experience with the world.

Danielle is an entrepreneur by nature and an innate event organiser. Her love for travel and beautiful places perfectly matches Marta’s skills and together they make a great team for organising meaningful retreats.
