Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Chef Marita Lynn is a holistic nutritional coach and chef.
She received her education in Holistic Nutrition from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and her Professional Chef certificate from the Institute of Culinary Education.
The founder of a catering company, a restaurant, and a food truck, Marita found herself overworked and stressed, which quickly turned into an addiction to sugar and salty foods. She gained over 30 pounds.
After learning how to heal herself holistically, she transformed her cooking style into a more clean, nutritious & delicious approach. Today, she guides people on their path to wellness, using a sustainable and holistic approach.
Long Beach Island, New Jersey, is an 18-mile-long barrier island along the Atlantic Ocean.
Known for its beautiful sunsets and perfect waves, it is the perfect combination of relaxing and energizing.
To pamper you and to experience community from beginning to end, we are offering private transportation in a 12-passenger van, with plenty of room for luggage, conversation, and fun.
Located in gorgeous Beach Haven, at the tip of Long Beach Island, we will lodge in "My Blue Haven", the third house from the ocean. Relax by the fireplace or hot tub, and enjoy the ocean views from the covered porch.
Experience “restful vitality” in a dream location
To keep the retreat personalized, we are limiting the capacity to seven people.
You can share a room with a friend, partner, or family member.
Take time to yourself and reset your nervous system as you get ready to enjoy the busiest time of the year, where the demands from winter and family gatherings ask you for full batteries and lots of energy! Learn how to move with your whole self as you get busy around the house, at work, or playing your favorite sport.
Our private chef, Marita Lynn, will cook a variety of healthy and yummy recipes including some original Peruvian dishes. On Saturday she will delight you with her expertise in a cooking demonstration and nutrition presentation, and she will share her recipes with you. You’ll be able to practice them during Thanksgiving & Christmas and dazzle your family & friends with some original dishes and flavors.
Experience the healing power of community in nature. As we go through the movement classes, practice sessions, and cooking demonstration, you will have a chance to share your insights with others, in the privacy of the retreat. The supportive energy of the group will uplift you and offer connection, especially if this is a time of the year when you miss loved ones and would like to feel “at home”.
