About Danielle

Food as a form of care.

I’m Danielle Redmond, a holistic nutritionist, retreat chef and retreat host based in Andalusia. I believe that how we are fed is part of how we are cared for. For more than 10 years, and over 200 retreats, that is what I have offered the people at my table.

My story

From hotel school to over 200 retreats

I trained in hospitality at Les Roches, where I learned what it really means to look after people: the detail nobody notices until it is missing.

By 2015 I had trained in holistic nutrition, and in 2015 I qualified as a Mind Body Eating Coach. That same year I began cooking for retreats here in Andalusia. Since then I have cooked for and helped to organise over 200 of them, for yoga and Pilates teachers, retreat centres, corporate wellness events and private clients, across Spain and beyond.

Over those years I kept seeing the same thing: people arrive tired, and they leave changed, not by being told what to cut out, but by being properly fed and looked after.

Now I host my own retreat, Replenish, bringing together everything I have learned about what people really need when they slow down.

My approach

Nourishing, never restrictive

My food is whole-food, Mediterranean, seasonal and generous. It is grounded in nutrition, eating psychology and nervous-system care.

Nothing harsh, nothing to count, nothing to give up. Just food that leaves you feeling better than when you sat down.
