Born and raised in Brazil, I spent my childhood surrounded by the energy and excitement of big cities like São Paulo before moving to the UK in my early twenties. London became home for the next 22 years, where I built a career organising events that allowed me to fulfil a lifelong dream of travelling the world and experiencing many incredible cities along the way.

Although I’ve always considered myself a true city girl, life has taken me in a slightly different direction over the past few years. Two years ago, I relocated to Portugal and discovered a real passion for a slower, quieter way of living. These days, I find joy in the simple things — morning walks with my dogs, gardening, caring for my plants, exercising in my little home gym, and listening to the birds sing.

Being active has always been an important part of my life. I began ballet as a child before moving into contemporary dance throughout my teenage years, and that love for movement and wellbeing has stayed with me ever since. I also have a deep love for the beach, which has been a constant source of happiness and calm throughout my life.

Today, I’m enjoying a beautiful balance between the vibrant experiences of my past and the peaceful lifestyle I’ve created in Portugal — embracing nature, outdoor living, and the quiet moments that make life feel meaningful.

Hello! We are Ti and Bel, a husband and wife who met in London back in 2003 and fell in love from day one. We have been living in London ever since, while always sharing a deep passion for travel and a special connection to Portugal.

After many trips to our ancestors’ homeland, we knew Portugal would one day become part of our next life chapter. In 2018, we purchased land in the Sintra–Cascais region with the dream of stepping away from big-city life and creating a space inspired by nature, wellbeing, and meaningful connection.

What began as a holiday home project naturally evolved into something bigger. Through Lua & Pine, we discovered our true passion: creating immersive fitness and wellness retreats that bring people together through movement, rest, and shared experiences in beautiful surroundings.

Today, our retreats are hosted in carefully selected boutique hotels and private villas, allowing us to curate unique experiences in exceptional locations while collaborating with inspiring spaces that reflect our values. Each retreat is designed to combine fitness, wellness, and lifestyle experiences with the natural beauty and culture of the destinations we choose.

We are committed to delivering a thoughtful and memorable experience for every guest, and we continue to grow, learn, and evolve with every retreat we host. We love welcoming both new and returning guests and work tirelessly to ensure each experience feels personal, inspiring, and unforgettable.

Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I moved to London in my early twenties, where I later built my career within the fitness and wellness industry. Since then, I’ve remained passionate about movement, wellbeing, and living an active lifestyle. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked across personal training, group fitness, wellness consultancy, and education, collaborating with leading brands and communities within the wellness space.

As a Master Trainer at 1Rebel, I’ve developed a loyal community through my dynamic coaching style and holistic approach to health — blending functional training, mobility, recovery, and lifestyle practices inspired by my background in surfing and athletic performance.

Through T.Silva Wellness, Bel and I created these retreats to offer people the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect through movement and nature, and return feeling stronger, restored, and inspired. Designed around intimate groups and meaningful experiences, each retreat combines wellness, connection, and mindful living in a way that feels both personal and transformative.
