About Linda Bretherton
Welcome
My life shaped by creativity, curiosity, and a quest for deeper meaning.
Hello. I'm Linda Bretherton a.k.a. Vani. I have trained with iconic thought leaders, including Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Debbie Ford, and Swamini Mayatitanada. I also served as the UK & European Wise Earth Ayurveda Master Trainer and the first Ford Institute UK Practitioner, bringing over 40 years of expertise to my practice.
This is my story in brief
Hello, as an artist, designer, teacher, and spiritual mentor with a career spanning decades and disciplines. My journey began humbly, leaving school at 14 with a dream of pursuing art and design. Though life initially took me on a different path, my passion never wavered. In my late 20s, I returned to my creative roots, studying art and design, completing foundation courses in fashion design, and teaching adult classes.
From Lingerie to Legacy
Fashion became my focus for a time, and I had the honor of showcasing my lingerie designs alongside the Emmanuels. This success led me to interior design, a world where creativity meets function. From designing homes to opening retail outlets in Cheshire and developing the Sampleboard concept in London, I honed my skills and even worked as a design manager for two prestigious department stores in the UK and Channel Islands.
The Turning Point
Yet, amidst all this success, I felt something was missing. My soul craved more, and this longing led me on a profound spiritual journey—a journey that has defined the second half of my life. I explored shamanism, EFT, shadow work, and ultimately found my calling in Ayurveda, training in a Vedic monastery in North Carolina.
The Fusion of Art and Spirit
Even as my spiritual work deepened, my love for design endured. I began weaving ancient practices like Vastu Shastra into my work, creating harmony in physical spaces as well as in lives. Along the way, I earned a Master’s Degree in Psychology and became an Ayurveda Master Trainer, helping countless individuals rediscover balance and purpose.
Today’s Mission
My work integrates all the facets of my life—art, design, psychology, and Ayurveda. Whether guiding individuals through spiritual mentoring, offering Bodysonic MRA scans, or sharing seasonal wisdom through my platform, I strive to inspire others to embrace creativity, health, and fulfillment in every aspect of life.
White Frias Haus: A Space for Creative and Spiritual Exploration
Today, all my training and expertise come together at White Frias Haus, a unique space where creativity and spirituality intertwine. Here, I host intimate supper clubs, private gatherings, teaching sessions, and workshops alongside showcasing my art and design. It’s a place where harmony, inspiration, and community come to life.
Ayurveda Sage: Learning at Your Fingertips
As part of my ongoing mission, I’m also developing Ayurveda Sage, an online institute where you’ll soon be able to sign up for courses that bring the wisdom of Ayurveda into your daily life. Stay tuned as this exciting project unfolds!
