Bienvenidos
My name is Demi van Mulken. I was born in the Netherlands, but decided to move to Lanzarote in 2023. Below you can read more about me and La luna llena. The beliefs that started this company and what I hope to achieve together with you.
All About Me
Okay, let's start with some basic facts about me.
-
I was born in a small town in the south of the Netherlands in 1991. When I was 19 years old I moved to the city of Eindhoven, where I lived until I moved to Lanzarote.
-
Exercise is a necessary for me, it clears my mind. I try to throw around some weights about three times a week. Do yoga to stay flexible and play padel for fun. (I suck at padel)
-
I spend my free time getting a tan at the beach, having a coffee with friends and exploring the island or travel in general.
-
The best times are times spend with my family and friends. Even though I also need days spend in my own company.
-
I prefer good food over big portions. Anything that contains cheese puts a smile on my face. Cheese is probably what I miss most about the Netherlands.
How did I get here?
When I was 22 years old I finished my Bachelor of Health as a nutritionist. Right after my graduation I started my own company, as well as working in gyms within different positions. I learned a lot, met amazing people and grew as an entrepeneur. But working 60 to 70 hours a week takes its toll. Just a couple of years later, I escaped a burn-out by an inch. My jourey of selfawareness and dealing with my feelings started. I changed jobs, rearranged my life, focussed on myself and started living by my core beliefs.
As much as everything progressed throughout the years, society and its expectations within the Netherlands did not fit me. So the decision came to move to Lanzarote. Where we choose to live life and enjoy every moment of it.
''Life starts many times''
La luna llena was created from my core belief that everyone can be whoever they want to be. Do and achieve whatever they wish. With my knowledge and experience I hope to support you to see how beautiful you are. Advise, encourage, ‘’to be there’’, in the journey that you as in indivdual will take. Helping you feeling good and being a better version of you.
My expertise lies within working with the body. Connecting and feeling starts there. The tools with which I work, can be found in ‘’what we do’’. Together we decide how we want to use these tools according to your goals, wishes and needs. Sometimes it’s a combination of some, sometimes it’s just a massage.

Lanzarote
After a couple of visits to the island, I experienced that life here fits me better. It was not necessarily that I was hooked to Lanzarote, more the people I spend my time with here. Now that I live here, I start to fall in love with the island. I feel it most, when I come back after a trip to the mainland or the Netherlands. Lanzarote equals peace for me, it’s simple. All the houses look the same, the nature is beautiful and the views breathtaking. There IS a view, whether it’s the ocean. The sky; which has a different colour every day. And the stars that show themselves at night. How basic it is on one side, as spectacular it can be on the other. The wild water in Famara, the black lava in Timanfaya, the green lake in el Golfo.
And life? Life is good here. In the end, it’s the small things that matter, that make me happy. How I spend day to day life, in stead of waiting for a weekend or a holiday to enjoy. It’s always spring or summer. The sun and blue skies wake me up in the morning. We live outside, meet each other on the beach. Have meals with friends or family, no matter what day of the week it is. And everyone is welcome to join, as we enjoy each others company, food and drinks, and talk about everything or nothing at all.
