Marc Ansari and Justine Lamboley are the co-founders of Monchique Hills — a project born from their deep commitment to health, regeneration, and a lifestyle in harmony with nature.

Marc Ansari holds an MBA (Master of Business Administration) and brings a wealth of experience in human development and wellness tourism. He directed a fasting and regeneration clinic in a thalassotherapy center in the south of France, where he guided thousands of people through transformative retreats focused on healing and renewal. Based in Portugal for several years now, Marc leads an eco-construction and real estate development company, specializing in sustainable and regenerative projects.

Justine Lamboley, on her side, worked for over 10 years as a journalist for major international networks such as BBC, CNN, and France 24, before answering the call of her life’s mission: to heal, guide, and empower. She later became a certified naturopath (Heilpraktikerin) and fasting specialist, and is the author of 7 best-selling books on integrative health, naturopathy, and fasting. Today, she trains hundreds of women worldwide to become free, aligned, and connected naturopaths, combining natural health, spirituality, and conscious entrepreneurship.

Together with their 8-year-old daughter, Justine and Marc are also deeply committed to education and future generations. They draw inspiration from alternative pedagogies and work to create an environment where children and adults alike can thrive in connection with nature and meaning.

Monchique Hills was born from their shared dream: to build a sanctuary where people can reconnect to nature, live consciously, cultivate abundance—in the soil, in relationships, and within—and co-create a rooted, free, and regenerative future.
