My Journey: A note from Aníma founder Talana Bestall.
To me, wellness is more than just a concept—it’s about finding harmony between the mind, body and spirit and creating a foundation for living that nurtures balance, vigour and longevity. As a mother, entrepreneur and wellbeing advocate, my passion is in wisdom and discovery - creating tools and curating experiences that help others thrive.
My journey began in London, working in fashion PR with luxury brands such as LVMH and Karla Otto before transitioning into world-class hospitality at Chiltern Firehouse London and launching Six Senses Ibiza. I was immersed in a world of elegance and creativity, but something deeper was calling. It wasn’t until I found myself amidst the wild beauty of Ibiza that I truly discovered my purpose. Ibiza became my sanctuary and creative muse. Living between London and Ibiza allowed me to experience two contrasting worlds—the hustle of the city and the serene beauty of island life. It was here, amidst the island’s raw and wild energy, that the idea for RoseBar Longevity was born. Inspired by cutting-edge advancements in medical, wellness and longevity, RoseBar was founded on the principles of Medicine 3.0—a personalised, preventative and forward-thinking approach to health. Collaborating with leading experts, including Dr. Mark Hyman, our goal was to blend advanced diagnostics, holistic wellness and innovative technologies to redefine vitality. Launching our first clinic at Six Senses Ibiza was a dream realised, and with a second clinic underway in upstate New York, I feel immense gratitude for what we’ve built.
I knew I wanted to create a space that went beyond physical health—a place for connection, discovery and nourishment of
the soul, and that’s how Alma was born. Launched in 2022 at Six Sense Ibiza, Alma was envisioned as a transformative experience—a four-day gathering bringing together wellbeing luminaries, visionary healers, longevity experts and leadership icons. Watching Alma grow—being featured in publications such as Vogue, the FT, and Condé Nast Traveller—has been extraordinary. This June, Alma expands to Six Senses Crans Montana in the Swiss Alps, with plans to reach the U.S. next year. Alma is not just an event; it’s a feeling, a frequency, a community that inspires clarity, connection, and growth.

As Alma has evolved, so has the vision. Along with my husband, Charlie, a private equity entrepreneur who focuses primarily on innovative ventures, we realised there was an opportunity to distil Alma’s essence into something that is accessible every day. Aníma emerged from our combined passion for optimal living —an online platform that blends thoughtful content with a curated collection of wellness essentials, all designed to restore energy and connection in the most grounded way. From clinically backed nutrients and body elixirs to rituals inspired by the raw beauty of the Mediterranean, Aníma reflects everything we’ve learned through Alma, RoseBar and Six Senses. For us, it’s about creating tools that empower people to integrate wellness into their daily lives, no matter where they are. Wellness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s deeply personal, and it evolves over time.
“My advice? Trust your intuition; it often knows what you need before your mind does. Embrace consistency—small, daily habits lead to profound transformations. And don’t shy away from stepping out of your comfort zone; growth often lies on the other side of what feels familiar.”

As I look to the future, I’m filled with optimism. There’s so much on the horizon—from expanding Alma and Aníma to welcoming new collaborations and innovations. Through it all, my goal remains the same: to inspire and empower others to live their best, most vibrant lives. Wellness is a journey, not a destination, and I’m honoured to walk this path alongside so many incredible individuals. Thank you for allowing me to share my story. Here’s to balance, nourishment, and thriving—for all of us.
With love,
Talana
