about

BALENS was created for people who want more than just a break from everyday life. We combine movement, nutrition, recovery and meaningful connection into structured experiences that challenge the body, clear the mind and create real momentum for change. Rooted in science, nature and community, BALENS is about helping you feel stronger, more present and more aligned with the life you actually want to live.

MEET YOUR HOST

I’m Julia — founder of BALENS, coach, and deeply passionate about helping people feel stronger, healthier and more connected to themselves. Over the years, I’ve built my expertise through multiple certifications across movement, strength training, yoga, Pilates, nutrition, recovery and personal development — always combining science-backed knowledge with real-life experience.

My relationship with health started early. After losing my grandmother at the age of eight, I learned how fragile health and life can be. That experience shaped me deeply and became one of the reasons why I dedicated my life to understanding what truly helps people feel well — physically and mentally.

BALENS is the result of that journey: a space designed to challenge, inspire and reconnect people with themselves through movement, reflection, nature and meaningful human connection.

sustainability & ANimal welfare

Sustainability and animal welfare are not a branding element for BALENS — they are the foundation everything is built on. Beyond volunteering and supporting local animal shelters, I try to align my daily life and work with the values I believe in: conscious consumption, responsibility and compassion. From the food we serve and the way retreats are organized to offering discounts for participants arriving by more sustainable travel options — every decision is made with intention. BALENS exists to create a healthier way of living that feels good not only for us, but also for the planet and the animals we share it with.
