THE HEART BEHIND HOLISTIKA KITCHEN
Danielle Redmond
Holistic nutritionist and retreat chef
For more than 12 years, I’ve been nourishing retreats and intentional gatherings with food designed to support not just the body, but the nervous system, emotional balance, and the deeper work unfolding in the space.
My approach is grounded in whole-food nutrition, eating psychology, and a deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms. I trained in hospitality at Les Roches, studied holistic nutrition with Hawthorn University, and qualified as an Eating Psychology Counselor with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. I believe food is more than fuel — it’s a form of care, a stabilising force, and an integral part of how people feel held on retreat.
Since 2014, Holistika Kitchen has cooked for more than 200 retreats and private events across Spain and beyond. I work closely with retreat leaders to create menus that feel supportive, intuitive, and aligned with the intention of the retreat — whether that’s rest, renewal, emotional release, or reconnection.
Whether you’re hosting a retreat, attending one, or joining The Pause, the retreat I host myself, my intention is the same: to create food and spaces that allow people to soften, trust, and truly receive.
“My mission is to promote and facilitate a healthy and conscious lifestyle, inspiring others to adopt the belief that our well-being is influenced by our dietary choices and self-care practices”
REVIEWS
We hired Holistika Kitchen’s Danielle to cater on one of our healing retreats, and after working with her once we never wanted to let her go! The quality energy Danielle brings to her work inspires us, she is a breath of fresh air, full of so much joy and it’s beyond a
pleasure working with her. She infuses everything she does / cooks with so much love and devotion. All meals she’s creates are fresh, plant rich, high vibrational, vibrant in colour, delicious flavour and balanced nutrition.
When holding a retreat the catering is such a huge / vital part of the experience and
every retreat we hold without fail people are always blow away with taste, quality and
presentation of the food. Even people who are generally not used to eating healthy or
plant based foods comment on how amazing each meal is and how well they feel form
eating Holitikas Kitchens food during their stay. Every delicious creation carries an
energy that nourish, heal and restore you, body and soul.
If you’re considering booking Holistika Kitchen for your event / retreat do it!! Danielle
and her beautiful team will surely send you into foodie heaven! ❤

Danielle’s food was a special and important part of our yoga retreat.
Every dish was prepared with love, crafted from scratch and beautifully presented;
created from an abundance of fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits and other produce.
From pressed juices at breakfast, fresh fruit platters, to Spanish-influenced brunches,
vibrant salads and an incredible paella cooked by Danielle’s husband, every selection
was a feast for the senses.
We felt fully nourished and fuelled by the food which supported our yoga sessions and
other activities; and we have left inspired to try to emulate some of the amazing dishes
we enjoyed.
Danielle was professional from the outset, she kept everything clean and well organised
and mingled naturally with the guests.
I highly recommend Danielle and Holistika Kitchen for your yoga retreat

I love Danielle and I love her cooking!
I had two opportunities to work with her during my retreats and I just fell in love with the
food, the presentation and the way Danielle and her staff prepared all these beautiful
nutrients for all the participants. She always adapted to our needs and was perfectly on
time (and this is a very important detail in a whole retreat organization).
I 100% recommend Holistika kitchen to anyone and moreover, you will have the
opportunity to meet a beautiful soul.
