Alix Sturgess

Alix is a certified yoga teacher, personal trainer, and nutritionist who envisioned a combination of a healthy holiday with a fitness retreat hosted in the Tuscan countryside. For Alix, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle have always been of paramount importance. She is a strong supporter of the Latin saying ‘mens sana in corpore sano’, which means that only a healthy body can support a healthy mind, so we should strive to keep our bodies in top condition. This was the genesis which led to the development of the” body & mind” company. She has lived in many countries and experienced many different cultures, and from this she has been inspired to follow the fundamentals of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle which provides the most comprehensive combination of nutrition, well-being, and family-oriented ideals. This philosophy is not about deprivation or even having to worry about how to manage a harmonious diet and lifestyle, instead, Alix wants to open up a world of delicious and well-balanced menus that you can take home with you and use for the rest of your life.
