About Annemarie

I live in Monchique. A pleasant little market town set amongst the pines, cork oaks and eucalyptus trees of the Serra de Monchique.

I try to see beauty in everything. I’m a lover of nature and all things natural and I have an aversion to toxicity in any form.

I Love travelling, reading, art, creativity, being and working in nature and I have held many posts in several countries. I am an Entrepreneur, Tour Manager, Nutritional Therapist with a BSc 1st class Hons degree. I have also been an Art Curator, Human Rights Observer and now am a Holistic Interior Designer and Home Stager who spends her free time upcycling treasures found in markets and fairs. These I sell online in Lualand, together with vintage and original home-deco.

About Frank

Frank unfolds sound spaces in the here and now with his extensive sound instruments for a journey into your own inner worlds.

Live through a different form of deep relaxation caressed by the gentle vibrations as well as the soothing sounds. The harmonious interactions help you to relax, to let go and feel good.

Frank has been a musician since his childhood. He started out learning to play classical clarinet and the flute. At 17 he started to play the drums, first studying and perfecting the Arabic style and later moving on to explore many more.

In 2016 he studied and became a Reiki Coach and the following year he travelled to India to train as a Sound Healer. He continued his Reiki training in India and became a Reiki Master. 

On his return to Portugal, he slowly built up his sound instrument collection, becoming one of the few in Europe to have a number of beautiful and rare pieces in his collection. These are housed in his Sound Dome where several Sound Healing sessions take place and Teacher Trainings as well. Few are those who pass through Monchique without experiencing at least one uniquely unworldly Sound journey.
