What Lucie’s clients say

Billie-Mae Meintjes

“Yoga Tangalle is a beautiful sanctuary deep in thick South Sri Lankan jungle. Lucie is a gentle and inspiring teacher and healer who is dedicated to her practice and will help you to grow and transform yours. I did a one hour Reiki healing session with her that really shifted and moved some stagnant energy. The practice space is very beautiful and next to an incredible lagoon where you can take kayaks out and see king fishers, green parrots and swimming lizards. I would highly recommend visiting Yoga Tangalle and experiencing all of this for yourself!”

Manuel Paul Engelbrecht

“Lucie is a great teacher, mindful, very knowledgeable, and she genuinely cares about your well-being. 🙏The practice is adjusted to your level of proficiency and needs. As a rather inflexible Yoga-beginner, I learned a lot during the sessions, and it was eye-opening how much I can deepen / improve poses I did not put much thought into before. After each time we practiced, I felt great and present. Another thing I liked was the level of mindfulness and spirituality in the practice without going too esoteric. 🔮Thanks Lucie!”

Vero Huda

“I can’t be happier to have chosen the retreat with Gamini. Gamini is the best Reiki Master I have ever met, I would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs any healing on a physical and/or mental level. The retreat helped me to level up my personal practise and mindfulness. I loved being there. I felt so relaxed and at peace the whole time. Highly recommended.”

Ben Stassijns

“I am already a few years learning more and more about spirituality but this is really one of the most spiritual experiences in my life so far. Mr Gamini is a really special person and I feel blessed to have him as my teacher. If you are interested in reiki, this is the place to learn! Simple, straight forward and so powerful. A huge thank you.”

What Matias’ clients say

Geert Vervenne

“During the meditations with Matias, I experienced so much calmness, peace and tranquility. With his voice and content he was guiding us to a relaxing state of mind. The tips and tricks Matias is giving are so valuable to go deeper in a mindful way of life. Thanks to the sessions with him I could take the next step in my mindful transformation process. I would recommend Matias because of his uninhibited, wise approach, where emotions take a central role in his sessions.”

Karim Op de Beeck

“I want to thank you for making meditation accessible to me, I never managed to totally clear my head, except during sessions with Matias”

Petra Lunko

“I met Matias at a retreat where I went for a few days to relax and get in touch with myself. He worked there giving Yoga, meditation and massage treatments. The guests at the retreat that already tried the release therapy treatment with Matias were extremely positive about it and just kept telling how good they felt during and after the treatment. That’s why I also wanted (read: dared!:-)) to try it. Despite all the stories I didn’t really  know what to expect as it was my first time treatment. During the treatment a sense of calm came over me, warmth and clarity. A strong feeling of safety…And I felt balanced and peaceful. And I didn’t feel safe, balanced or peaceful for some time now. I absolutely loved the experience! Thanks a lot Matias!”

She focus on the body and the mind , for me it felt like a deep treatment and not only a yoga class. Thanks for your love, I will come back.”
