The person holding the space

About Sara

I am a licensed psychotherapist. For more than two decades I have worked with people who want to understand what lies beneath the surface, in lives that appear to function, but where something important has gone quiet.

Sara Lee, licensed psychotherapist, at Casa Eden

Casa Eden began as my home. A place I moved to when I left my practice in Stockholm and rebuilt my own life in the Andalusian countryside.

A few years earlier, I had experienced burnout. Not because I didn't love my work, but because somewhere along the way I had lost connection with my own rhythm, my own needs, and what truly mattered. Coming here became part of finding that connection again. And perhaps that is why Casa Eden feels the way it does today.

Over time, Casa Eden became something more.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have spent more than two decades exploring what shapes us as human beings. What helps us grow. What keeps us stuck. Why some people thrive while others lose themselves in lives that look successful from the outside. Over the years I have worked closely with stress, trauma, burnout, and relationships β€” and with what happens in the body when life has asked too much for too long.

Again and again, I have found that transformation rarely happens through information alone. It happens when we slow down enough to hear ourselves again.

The garden has a way of inviting that.

Here, time moves differently. The days are long and unhurried. The birds arrive before you wake. In summer, the crickets fill the evenings. Horses call from somewhere across the valley. Sheep bells drift in from the hills. Dogs bark in the distance and then fall quiet again.

These are not distractions. They are reminders. That you are somewhere real. That your body knows where it is. That the nervous system, given enough stillness and enough birdsong, begins to soften.

Sound has always been part of how I work. Not as a technique, but as an invitation. To slow down. To listen. To reconnect with what matters.

The garden has become part of that work. Not because the place itself creates change, but because it creates the conditions for it. The olive trees, the fruit trees, the open sky, and the quiet rhythm of nature offer something many of us have lost access to: space.

Space to rest. Space to reflect. Space to reconnect.

Today, Casa Eden is a place for rest, reconnection, meaningful experiences, sound healing, and retreats. Not a programme. Not an escape. A place.

An invitation to slow down, come back to your senses, and reconnect with what is already here.
