About Us

A place to pause, reflect and rebuild.

Strong. Focused. Connected.

House of Yage - The Studio is a welcoming space where you can challenge your body and focus your mind through high-intensity, mindful workouts. We bring together modern fitness and intentional movement to help you build strength, find balance, and be part of a supportive community.

In the rush of daily life, we give you the space to reconnect with yourself. Our workouts are designed to push your limits while keeping you grounded, leaving you feeling strong, clear, and ready to take on the world.

After your session, refuel and recharge at our onsite café, offering healthy drinks and snacks crafted to nourish you from the inside out.

We are dedicated to providing a space where physical strength meets spiritual well-being. We do our workouts with intention, and our use of megaformers delivers a uniquely intense and transformative experience, far beyond what traditional Pilates provides.

Meet our Founder

From an early age, I have been captivated by the human experience—how we live, grow, and thrive on this beautiful planet. This curiosity set me on a lifelong journey to explore how we can enhance the quality of our lives by nurturing both our internal and external environments.

Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in studying the human body, diving into the world of biohacking, nutrition, movement, and holistic practices. I’ve experimented with countless techniques and disciplines, all with the goal of understanding how to unlock our full physical potential. But my journey didn’t stop there.

As I delved deeper, I discovered the profound connection between the mind and body. This led me into the realm of psychology, coaching, and ancient healing practices. Through personal healing experiences and plant medicine ceremonies, I began to uncover my own truth, finding the balance between ancient wisdom and modern life.

House of Yagé is the embodiment of this journey. It’s a sanctuary where ancient healing methodologies meet today’s advanced technologies—a space where you are invited to explore your physical, mental, and emotional capacities. Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can reconnect with your true self, unlock your potential, and thrive in harmony with the world around you.

This is more than a business to me—it’s my calling, and I am honored to walk alongside you on this transformative journey. Welcome to House of Yagé, where growth and authenticity are celebrated, and where your true self is always enough.

Embracing health and fitness has been the greatest gift I’ve given myself, and I’m deeply passionate about sharing that gift with others.
