Nina
MANAGER
Hi, I’m Nina. I bring over a decade of experience in culinary and hospitality leadership, education, and wellness to SOMA House.
As General Manager, I oversee all aspects of SOMA, including accommodation, wellness, food and beverage, guest experience, and team operations. A big part of my role is developing the systems, service standards, and culture that bring the SOMA experience to life.
My background spans roles as an Executive Chef, F&B Manager, culinary educator, and applied psychologist, which allows me to combine creativity with hands-on leadership. From developing SOMA’s food concept and menu to training and working alongside our team, my focus is making sure our vision and mission are felt in every part of the guest experience.
Jackson
CO - FOUNDER
My journey into wellness began long before Soma House. As a former professional athlete, meditation teacher and lifelong musician, I’ve spent much of my life exploring the connection between physical performance, mental wellbeing and how we experience life.
That curiosity has taken me around the world, where I’ve experienced and studied different approaches to health, recovery, meditation, movement and longevity — from ancient traditions to modern wellness practices.
Over the years, I’ve taken the ideas and practices that have had the greatest impact on my own life and brought them together with a simple philosophy: wellness isn’t just about living longer or performing better. It’s about feeling better, connecting more deeply and getting more out of the life we’re already living.
Through Soma House and our retreats, I want to share what I’ve learned and create experiences that help people live healthier, happier and more connected lives.
Anne Broers
RETREAT FACILITATOR
Hi, my name is Anne and i’m the Head of Health Wellness at Soma House and one of the retreat facilitators. I love bringing together my passion for sauna rituals, wellness, and creating meaningful experiences for people.
My journey in the sauna world started in Amsterdam, where I first discovered how much I loved the combination of heat, relaxation, ritual, and human connection. What started as a job quickly became a passion, and I’ve continued working in the sauna and wellness industry ever since.
What I love most about my work is creating an environment where people can truly slow down, let go, and feel present. For me, wellness is not only about relaxation, but also about connection, creating a warm, welcoming and social space where people feel comfortable being themselves.
At Soma House, I focus on creating high quality sauna experiences and rituals that engage the senses, support relaxation, and bring people together. I love combining traditional sauna practices with creativity, natural elements, essential oils, breath, heat and cold to create experiences that feel both grounding and memorable.
I’m passionate about sharing the benefits of sauna and wellness with others, while making sure every guest leaves feeling more relaxed, connected and renewed.
