Meet your local host...
My name is Emily Iliopoulou-Magee
As a Health & Nutrition Coach and Root Cause Protocol Practitioner, I’m passionate about empowering people to take control of their health naturally. While medication has its place, I believe in exploring lifestyle and nutrition first to support long-term well-being.
Through my work—private consultations, online programs, and free monthly fermenting workshops—I share simple, effective ways to improve health every day.
I created these retreats to bring together like-minded people who want to make lasting changes while experiencing the beauty of my local area—long sandy beaches, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality.
It’s an authentic, off-the-beaten-path wellness escape where you’ll recharge, learn, and connect.
