Drawing on 30 years of experience in the realms of spirituality, natural health, and wellness, Troy’s offerings are a synthesis and expression of diverse practices, modalities, and the wisdom gleaned from his journey along life’s unconventional paths.

Initially a myofascial therapist by trade, Troy birthed aspects of The Sanctuary Spa and Wellness Centre in Southern Thailand in the late 1990s, creating a haven for fasting and cleansing programs and other forms of self-care that rejuvenate the body, mind, and heart.

Immersing himself in meditation over the years, Troy has been formally trained by Buddhist monks in Vipassana, Zen, and Mahāyāna techniques, has been a devoted participant in numerous silent retreats, and is a meditation guide, mindfulness mentor, and retreat facilitator.

An E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, Troy’s passion for sharing the transformative power of yoga led him to teach globally, own and operate two yoga studios, and co-found the School of Sacred Arts, guiding yoga teacher trainings in Asia, Europe, Canada, and South America. He currently specializes in gentle practices such as Yin Yoga and emphasizes an individualized approach to yoga’s higher dimensions.

A PCC (Professional Certified Coach) with the International Coaching Federation, Troy has 10 years of experience providing mindfulness-based, heart-centered, intuitive support grounded in Buddhist psychology. Combined with his skills as a certified Somatic Integration Practitioner and energy-based Yoga Therapist, Troy offers a holistic approach to personal growth and evolution, with a focus on spiritual guidance.

His life a celebration of exploration, adventure, and creativity, Troy’s interests include solo wilderness excursions and vision quests, travel, songwriting, shamanism, the communal spirit and freedom of Ecstatic Dance, and a deep honoring of native cultures.

Currently offering classes, workshops, and retreats, as well as individual sessions, Troy infuses his services with warmth, compassion, relatability, and humor as he helps fellow travelers awaken further and find their way Home.

With more than 25 years devoted to the practice and teaching of Hatha Yoga, Anabel’s work is rooted in a lifelong exploration of movement, the body, and the relationship between physical awareness and inner presence.

Mexican, of French-Canadian origin, Anabel began her journey through classical ballet, a discipline that cultivated an exceptional sensitivity to alignment, balance, precision, and the subtle language of the body. Over time, this foundation evolved into a deeper exploration of how the body can be listened to, supported, and gently transformed.

As a Hatha Yoga teacher, she brings an unusually perceptive understanding of the body to her practice. She has a rare ability to recognize patterns of tension, restriction, and compensation that can affect the way a person moves and feels. Her work can be especially meaningful for those experiencing physical discomfort or stiffness, helping them rediscover greater ease and freedom of movement without forcing the body.

Her exploration has taken her beyond traditional yoga into regenerative and somatic practices, including Feldenkrais-based work, where subtle movement and heightened awareness become pathways to reconnecting with the body. Alongside this work, her experience with meditation and Vipassana has deepened her understanding of stillness, observation, breath, and presence.

Deeply grounded, Anabel does not seek to impose a method. She creates the conditions for people to listen more closely to themselves, bringing together the precision of a dancer, the sensitivity of a seasoned yoga teacher, and a deep respect for each person’s individual experience.

For Le Voyage Intime, Anabel brings something particularly precious: a different way of inhabiting the journey. Through movement, breath, stillness, and awareness, she invites travellers to slow down enough to feel themselves again.

Her work is ultimately an invitation to return to the body not as something to be corrected, but as a place to come home to.

Tadzio Mac Gregor brings to Le Voyage Intime an intimate knowledge of Brazil, shaped by years of exploration, cultural curiosity, and an exceptional network of people across the country.

His relationship with Brazil extends well beyond its most familiar destinations. He knows its cities, landscapes, gastronomy, artists, entrepreneurs, producers, and the people whose knowledge and generosity reveal a different side of the country.

From the cultural and gastronomic life of São Paulo to the extraordinary landscapes of the Atlantic Forest, Tadzio creates experiences that move naturally between art, food, nature, adventure, and meaningful encounters. His knowledge of the Mata Atlântica, in particular, opens the door to a Brazil that remains largely unknown to international travellers.

His strength lies as much in the relationships he has cultivated as in his knowledge of the country. Over time, he has built a network grounded in trust, curiosity, and genuine human connection, allowing him to bring together people and places that would rarely be encountered through conventional travel.

Alongside his work with Le Voyage Intime, Tadzio develops his own projects in Brazil, exploring new ways of connecting travellers with the country he knows so intimately.

For Le Voyage Intime, he brings something essential: the ability to look beyond the obvious and to create encounters that feel personal, spontaneous, and deeply connected to Brazil.

Carolina Zopi has lived between cultures for much of her life. Brazilian and Italian, with chapters in the United States, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Mexico, she brings to her work a rare combination of international perspective, curiosity, and an instinctive understanding of people and place.

She has a natural talent for discovering what lies beyond the obvious. A house that opens onto an extraordinary landscape. A table where the food tells a story. An artist, artisan, chef, or host whose perspective changes the way a place is understood. Carolina knows how to find the people and places that give a journey its soul.

Working closely with Tadzio Mac Gregor, she helps shape Le Voyage Intime’s journeys through Brazil, researching possibilities, cultivating relationships, and following the unexpected connections that can transform an itinerary into something truly personal.

Her contribution goes well beyond organisation. Carolina brings intuition, energy, discernment, and an openness to discovery. She understands that the most memorable moments of a journey are not always the ones that can be planned: a conversation that lingers, an invitation that was never expected, a road taken simply because it leads somewhere worth discovering.

For Le Voyage Intime, Carolina is one of the people who make these encounters possible. Through her knowledge, her relationships, and her instinct for what is special, she helps open a door into a Brazil that is intimate, generous, and alive.

Her presence allows a place to become more than somewhere we visit. It becomes somewhere we have truly encountered, and something we carry with us long after we leave.

For Patricia Schneider, travel has always been an art of attention: a way of looking more closely, discovering the details that give a place its soul, and entering into the stories, traditions, and human connections that reveal its true character.

Born in Paris and deeply rooted in French culture, Patricia has spent much of her life between Europe and the Americas. Art was her first professional language. Since 1996, she has worked in the secondary art market, in close dialogue with artists, collectors, galleries, and institutions. Over the years, this experience has cultivated an instinctive eye for what is beautiful, singular, meaningful, and rare, including the things that remain hidden in plain sight.

Her curiosity naturally extended to gastronomy and the cultures surrounding it. She has spent years alongside distinguished chefs in France and Mexico, Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, wine producers, artisans, and small producers, developing a deep understanding of the relationship between food, place, history, and craftsmanship.

Living between cultures and speaking several languages, Patricia has cultivated relationships with artists, chefs, winemakers, designers, collectors, and hosts over decades. Yet her greatest strength may be the way she makes people feel. Warm, attentive, and genuinely curious about others, she creates an atmosphere in which people feel welcomed, considered, and at ease. She notices what matters and knows how to bring people together.

Le Voyage Intime emerged naturally from these experiences. Patricia brings together her trained eye, cultural knowledge, relationships, and understanding of human connection to create journeys that are personal, deeply considered, and impossible to reproduce from an itinerary alone.

Each journey bears her eye and her signature: an invitation to discover a place through its people, stories, flavours, beauty, and unexpected encounters.
