Lived in San Francisco and moved to the South of France where she and her husband James bought a vineyard. She is an amazing cook, is probably close to having a thousand cookbooks and unlike some of us, she has actually read all of them! Her knowledge of cooking and food is endless and she has always been aware of living a healthy lifestyle.

In October 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was a surprise to all the people around her because she was so healthy.
Since then she has done so much research on what being healthy actually is and healthier ways to cook. She is now living cancer-free through diet and alternative medicine, and for that she is an inspiration.

She is also a talented painter, sculptor and is the interior designer of Herrick House.

Spent her early years growing up on a vineyard in the South of France, studied design and trained as a chef at the Ballymaloe Cookery School, which unlike any other cookery school in the world, is situated on their very own 100 acre organic farm, teaching students how to cook with the finest quality ingredients.

She then worked on luxury yachts, restaurants, private villas, wedding catering and retreats around the world and was the Head Chef at The Detox Kitchen in London for over a year.

She has since set up the Herrick Kitchen which delivers delicious lunch boxes around town along with catering events.

She believes in a healthy balanced diet using fresh, organic, seasonal produce and also specializes in vegetarian, vegan, healthy alternatives and dietary requirements.

She is full of kindness, good vibes and buzzing with energy, her teaching is very much her own style and we loved it,
​ we are very excited she will be part of our retreats. 

We met Lucy during one of her Urban retreat Day events in Barcelona,
where she co created YO-MU with a cellist and electronic composer Pepe Arias
and offers dynamic and restorative yoga flow with live music sessions, they are amazing!

Lucy is a professionally trained contemporary dancer, mother of two boys and certified Sivananda Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga teacher.
With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching yoga all over the world,
she has designed her own dancelike flow of energizing and healing postures.

Her classes are infused with inspiration from her daily life with yoga practice.
Yoga is about being human, embracing our imperfections and opportunities to transform.
​
Teaching for her is the magic, it is about celebrating and acknowledging each person who chooses to join her on the mat.

The mat is where we can experience a lightness of being and discover the joy of who we really are.
Be your potential and begin to live the magic, that is you.
