Hi, I'm Magdalena
Hi, I'm Magdalena — a private chef, yoga teacher, wellness guide, and former restaurant owner passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves through nourishment and mindful living.
With over 30 years of culinary, fitness, and nutrition experience, and more than 11 years of teaching yoga, I blend food, movement, and breath into deeply supportive practices.
For the past five years, I've guided women through seasonal Spring and Fall Reset programs designed to gently restore the body, calm the nervous system, and create lasting wellness rituals.
My work is an invitation to slow down, soften, and experience healing through nourishment, movement, and rest.

Seasonal Reset Programs
A Letter from Diana
"Dear Magda, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for guiding me through another incredible journey of self-discovery and transformation. Your expertise as a Certified Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist has not only helped me shed physical weight but has also opened my eyes to a whole new understanding of my body and diet.
In the past, I sought help from a certified nutritionist, but it was no match for the profound impact your guidance has had on my well-being. Your holistic approach, coupled with your unwavering support, has been nothing short of life-changing.
During this 1-month detox, I shed 15 lbs, but what's more remarkable is the liberation I feel from cravings, back pain, and neck pain. The feeling inside me is beyond words; it's like basking on a sunlit beach — profound calm, peace, and fulfillment resonating in every fiber of my being.
My sleep patterns have undergone a revolution — I now go to sleep at 9:00pm and rise at 5:00am, effortlessly. I feel agile, light, and energized, with a constant wellspring of vitality. I'm no longer driven by hunger; I must remind myself to eat.
I've learned that true happiness resides within us; we need only to uncover the path, and you have been my guiding light. Thank you, Magdalena Tarko, for everything. You have truly made a difference in my life."
"Beyond beyond beyond grateful. Thank you Magda. Your leadership has been outstanding! You are a natural and you thrive in this kind of sharing. Food is your passion, and your talent is teaching others how to embody those life elements within all nourishment. I'll be maintaining so much of this into my everyday."
"Feeling grateful for this reset experience. This was my first full detox — very enlightening, educational, and uplifting. Magdalena, your knowledge, passion, and encouragement — I am so grateful for. It's so interesting how people come into your life, even for a short period of time, but there's always a reason."
"Magda offers FABULOUS virtual spring and autumn resets. I came in tired, with little energy, feeling heavy in mind and body. Magda exudes passion — she pours her heart and soul into her mentoring. She goes beyond nutrition, with daily virtual breath work and meditation. I leave these resets lighter, more positive, more mindful. Magda truly cares. You can feel it. So worth joining."
"Thanks to Magda's detox program, my digestion improved significantly, and I finally experienced relief from ongoing gut issues. I'm incredibly grateful that I trusted her process because it gave me a much deeper understanding of my health and well-being. I would not hesitate to join another detox with her to continue learning, healing, and growing."
"After completing Magda's detox, I was finally able to sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed and energized every morning. Trusting her program has been a truly transformative experience. Not only did I feel better physically, but I also gained a much greater understanding of my overall health. I would absolutely do it again."
"Magda's detox helped me lose 15 pounds, but more importantly, it gave me the tools and awareness to maintain that weight loss in a healthy, sustainable way. The program completely shifted my relationship with my body, my habits, and my lifestyle. I'm so grateful for the knowledge, support, and insight I gained throughout the experience."

Handcrafted Malas,
Energetically Infused.
Long before the retreats and the dinners, there were the malas — handmade gemstone pieces created as quiet tools for intention, alignment, and personal ritual. Each one is strung by hand and inspired by nature, Ayurveda, and the stones we are drawn to when we need them most.
Your intention is your purpose. The stones are here to help you carry it.
