Meet the Team

Host & Coach

James founded Balm retreats a decade ago when he was burnt out and stressed in his 9-5 job in London. Seeking purpose he created these retreats to merge his passions for travel and wellness.

He is a Nike trainer, yoga teacher and relationship coach but will focus most of his efforts in hosting you in Bali where he now resides.
