An Interview with Wellness expert, Mays Al-Ali
Leading wellness expert, Mays Al-Ali

By Claire Miller
Mays Al-Ali’s inspiring transformation from a high-pressure advertising career in London to a leading wellness expert is a powerful story of self-discovery. Her journey, deeply intertwined with the vibrant energy of Ibiza, shows how leaving behind the fast-paced city life led her to embrace yoga, holistic healing, and functional medicine. Today, she shares her expertise in the Balearic Islands, continuing to inspire wellness seekers on the shores of both Ibiza and Mallorca.
In 2011, Mays was fully immersed in the hectic lifestyle that defines London’s advertising world. Though professionally successful, she longed for something deeper—an inner peace she would later call “samadhi,” the blissful state of yoga. While yoga had always been part of her life, it wasn’t until a pivotal moment during a Bikram yoga class that she realised yoga was her gateway to true joy.
This moment sparked a profound journey that led Mays to India, where she committed to deepening her practice. She spent months in Goa, where she completed her Ashtanga Yoga teacher training, and later returned for advanced studies. It was in these transformative years that Mays began blending yoga with functional medicine, nutrition, and holistic healing.
