About us

Hi! We are Annika and Dennis.
A couple from the Netherlands and living in the Heart of Portugal. We have a beautiful daughter and her name is Ava-Lavie. She was the inspiration for the name  AVALAVIDA.
We met each other in 2021 when we attended a Magic truffle retreat in the Netherlands. At first there was a conversation and during the ceremony in the evening our deep hearted connection was made! Ever since that day we are a loving couple.

We love what we do and we put lots of energy and love into this beautiful work to give you the best experience with either a consciuous connected breathing session or a intensive and magical journey with the magic truffles.
With love Annika and Dennis

Our Mission

For us, it's about freeing the mind and body from stress, trauma and the invisible burdens we often carry with us. We believe that true healing begins with reconnecting with yourself, your breath and your inner strength.
Through carefully guided breathwork sessions and profound magic truffle ceremonies, we want to help you release what no longer serves you. The breath is our gateway to the here and now, and with each breath we open the door to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our emotions. Through our breathwork, you'll discover the power of your own breathing, which helps you release blockages, reduce stress and calm your mind.
Combined with the magic of truffles, we can travel to a deeper level of consciousness, where it becomes possible to transform limiting beliefs and painful memories. These ceremonies provide a safe and supportive environment where you can have the space to let go of old patterns, heal yourself and begin a new chapter of inner peace and balance.
Our mission is simple: to guide you on your journey to freedom and healing, so that you can live from a place of purity, love and awareness. Together, we create a safe space where you can discover your full potential and embrace life with an open heart and a clear mind.

Participant Feedback

I never thought that breath could be so powerful! I want to thank you so much for a breath workshop with lots of visions and healing. I felt 100% safe and held in the space you created. I could completely surrender to the process and let things happen. I am so grateful that you offer this amazing work and can’t wait to participate again!

Breathwork – A Journey to the Inner Self

With D. and A., breathwork becomes a sacred experience in nature. Surrounded by open air, the earth beneath you, and the gentle murmur of a brook, you’re invited to reconnect—with yourself and the world around you. D.’s sensitive use of a drum-like instrument weaves sound into the space, gently guiding the journey inward. Their presence creates a safe, grounded atmosphere where deep connection and self-exploration naturally unfold.

Breathwork opened a new chapter in my life. I’m amazed at how deeply I can reach with this technique. It helps me look more deeply within. Annika and Dennis carefully hold the space and help me discover my trigger points.

Thank you so much!

I have had the pleasure of joining two breathwork circles guided by Annika and Dennis. Having had no experience at all in breathwork I was a bit nervous of what to expect. But the experienced guidance of Annika and Dennis took away this feeling and I went into the breathwork completely relaxed and felt safe throughout the whole experience! These circles are well guided through talk, touch, sound and powerfull music, 

Highly recommended.
