JESS DYER
Hey there! I’m Jess.
Most days you can find me with a cup of tea or a smoothie in hand, with my denim shorts and comfy vest top, slippers or bare feet and my hair tied up!
I am mostly known for my smiley face, my love of creating healthy edible eats in the kitchen and helping people in whatever way I can.
I am a Nutritional Therapist, yoga teacher and personal trainer, and couldn't love my job more.
I see it as a true gift to be able to help people with their health and the way they move their bodies. The reward I feel when I know I've made a difference to someone's internal world is priceless. The restored confidence people have when they are wearing the clothes they feel comfortable in and they have tons of energy despite eating MORE than they did previously, with no 'dieting' or calorie counting in sight is truly life changing.
Empowering people with the tools to fuel themselves deliciously and optimally...I love it.
The things that I am most passionate about are my family, my husband Tom, my two gorgeous daughters, Olive and Lola, and my girlfriends.
I love simple things; sitting on the rocks in the sunshine with a picnic, people watching in a cute cafe with a book in hand, or enjoying a bubble bath in a candle-lit room with essential oils.
I love travelling, enjoying meaningful conversations with people and I love exercising; at the moment I'm into vinyasa yoga and gentle walks with Lola in the sling, but I like to vary it up and do whatever makes my body feel great.
When I am not doing that, you'll catch me in my kitchen experimenting away making green juice lollies, various different kinds of hummus (my absolute favourite) or something chocolatey - I have a sweet tooth so anything with cacao or chocolate tasting is an instant winner!
My bucket list is huge! Top on my list was to own a dog which I gratefully managed to make happen in February 2019, after 6 years of daily pleading my husband to get one!
Her name is Boni and she looks like a meerkat/fox and is exceptionally affectionate. She joins our retreats and is always a total star.
Next up is going to Sanoviv Medical Institute in Mexico. I'd like to have a health MOT there and enjoy two weeks of yoga, meditation and cooking courses with some of my closest family members there as well. My third adventure I'd like to do is a trip to New Zealand with my hubby, exploring the incredible scenery in a camper van.
If that's not enough, & you'd like to know more, here are 5 things that you might not know….
1. I worked in an orangutang sanctuary in Borneo for a month when I was 18. I looked after an orphaned orang called Gus who was just the sweetest little monkey.
2. I'm scared of spiders; I saw an NLP practitioner twice and my fear is a lot better, but I much prefer creatures with fewer legs!
3. My favourite colour is 'dusty pink'.
4. My favourite fruit is watermelon.
5. I'm obsessed with foot massages/squeezes, I even wove it into our wedding vows so my hubby could agree (infront of witnesses) to massage them every night! On the nights he does, I fall asleep and feel like I'm in heaven.

Hey there, I’m Tom Dyer.
Most days you can find me in Menorca, Spain.
I am mostly known for personal training/coaching either online or in person here on the island.
People often refer to me as someone who takes pride in what they do and getting lasting results is important to me. I love serving the world by helping people improve their health and self image.
The things I am most passionate about in life are my Nutritionist wife Jess, my family, adventuring outdoors, hiking, snorkelling and travelling the world.
I work with people who are time poor who deserve results. Every one of us is different, so treating everyone as a unique individual helps get sustainable results.
I coach people in all areas of health and fitness, the most important (in my eyes) being the creation of lasting change. There are so many 'fad diets' that can work short-term, but if the underlying habits are not rewired, weight gain happens soon after the diet/programme stops.
As a writer, I’ve been honoured to be invited to contribute to various magazines and journals over the years including Men's Health magazine and Men's Fitness magazine. I have been featured as a model in many fitness publications too, but the one I am most proud of is an advert for a lean protein product taken from a photo shoot I did on my 40th birthday a few years ago. It was a personal goal of mine to get in great shape and health, and the photo was a reflection of that success.
I also speak at International conferences, specialising in habit change and other fitness related subjects. To date, I have spoken in the UK, USA, France & Holland.
When I’m not busy working, you can catch me travelling. My wife and I travel to the US every year & we always look to get a trip in to a National Park. I highly recommend Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches and Canyonlands Parks if you get the chance to visit them. We're looking to go to Yellowstone next after being inspired by the Yellowstone documentary on Netflix which was INCREDIBLE!
If you’re dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me...
1. I lived in Paris, France in the late 90's working as a Personal Trainer by day and a party promotor by night (an interesting mix). The best party by far was the evening when France won the World Cup in 1998 and the French team went to Les Bains in Paris (the Top club back in those days). Jack Nicholson, Bono, Jonny Depp, Vanessa Paradis and many others were there, all so happy! No pretences, just fun and celebrations.
2. I worked on a bungee jump site in Rhodes, Greece for a summer season in my early twenties. That job had it's ups and downs ;-)
3. I have a sweet tooth and Snickers are my go-to treat. I love them.
4. I was born in Norfolk, England so my favourite team is Norwich City FC.
5. I was once (and only once) a catwalk model for Vivienne Westwood in Milan. Chris Eubank was also a model that day, great guy!
ANGIE
Hi, I'm Angie Craven, mother of 3 amazing human beings & fairy grandmother to little Eve.
Most days you can find me at my 260 year old farmhouse, tool box in hand - I am Menorca's version of Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!
I am mostly known for having an open door where the kettle is always on or the corkscrew is at the ready.
I am a Nutritionist & Sports Injuries Therapist. I love serving the world using these skills but also by taking the time to listen to people.
The thing that I am most passionate about, after my family, is health & enabling people to replace 'acquired patterns' with ones that serve them. I'm a HUGE foodie & love to create delicious food for anyone who rocks up my driveway. I also love swimming in the sea & sleeping out under the stars.
I trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition & was fortunate enough to be invited to go to India to photograph Nutritional deficiencies & work as part of a Nutritional team there. Nowadays, my focus is more on skeletal problems through massage & rehab exercises.
When I am not doing that, you'll catch me up-cycling driftwood that I find on the beach, into creative household items or meeting my girlfriends for coffee & doing the crossword!
My Bucket List includes chilling out on the Canal du Midi, going to the Hong Kong Sevens and spending time in Fiji at Tony Robbins 'Date with Destiny' event.
If that's not enough, & you'd like to know more, here are a few things that you might not know….
1. I studied Psychology & Theology in Switzerland in the late 70's.
2. I have been shot at in Beirut (there’s a very long story to that one!) & co ran a bar in Eilat/Israel.
3. I've owned a house in Menorca for over 30 years.
4. I'm a BIG DOG woman - no handbag dogs for me.
5. I am a Dancing Queen - love Salsa & Jive.
