Therese Skovgaard Poulsen

I’m Therese, and my path has been one of deep challenges, inner discovery, and a burning desire to serve others. I grew up in Denmark, where the sudden loss of my father shattered my world, forcing me to grow up quickly and face life's toughest questions. This tragedy sparked a spiritual awakening that led me on a transformative journey.

I traveled to India, where I studied ancient spiritual teachings and Sanskrit at Columbia University. For 27 years, I had the privilege of learning from the great yoga masters—Krishnamacharya, B.K.S. Iyengar, and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.

My work is more than just yoga—it's about emotional healing, transformation, and self-discovery. From Vipassana meditation retreats to chakra cleansing and NLP, I guide my students on a journey that addresses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I’ve been based in Bali for the past 16 years, leading workshops and retreats around the world, and I’m honored to walk this path of healing with so many.

I’m here to serve with love, integrity, and clarity, helping others unlock their true potential. My mission is to help you heal, grow, and live a life filled with joy and fulfillment.

Dr Kukku Ramesh Ayurvedic Doctor - B.A.M.S.

I was born and raised in Kerala, India's cradle of Ayurveda. In 2008 I have received my degree in Ayurveda from the renowned Ayurveda Medical College in Kerala, India.

I have since perfected my Ayurvedic diagnostic methods, such as pulse diagnosis (Nadi pareeksha).

I have worked as an Ayurvedic Doctor at places such as Kempinski Palace in Bangalore,  Intercontinental Lalit Resort & Spa, in Goa.

I am now working in Austria, at the Larimar Hotel Therme & Spa.

Katarina Harth

I have been a dedicated student of Therese for over eight years, deeply immersed in her teachings and wisdom. Since beginning this journey, I have incorporated her guidance into my daily life, practicing Ashtanga yoga, meditation, and breath work with devotion and consistency. Originally from Germany, I now live in Portugal with my family. As a mother of two, I am continually seeking to grow, striving to become a better person and find meaningful ways to serve others. With a background as a designer and art director, the birth of my children, along with my practice, has transformed my perspective and life path, leading me to explore new, more fulfilling ways of being. In addition to my personal practice, I have had the privilege of training within an internship as well as  assisting Therese as her personal assistant during Veda Wellness retreats, helping to create a seamless and transformative experience for all participants. This path has enriched my understanding of holistic well-being, and I am grateful to be part of this ongoing journey.

Joana Guedes

I have been dedicated to developing the Veda wellness retreats since 2021. All happened after meeting Therese, in Portugal, and knowing about her work and project. 

Coming from the business world, I felt something missing in my life. 

This project was the answer to what was missing. Through the practices I am now abler to know more about myself; my concentration has deepened, and I am able to relax and have a more meaningful life. More important than that, through this project, we can help other people, who, like my self, want to discover a deeper meaning of life. Therese and I have been working together to develop the retreats business for the western world.

As a business manager, I have been able to travel and participate in different trade shows to present our project to many luxury travel agents around the world.  Along the years we’ve been able to create wonderful groups of participants from the 4 corners of the planet, with different backgrounds and different cultures. I am looking forward to developing this magical project. More is about to come.
