Kumbatia San

I’ve lived a life that’s hard to explain on paper.

From a young age, I was always moving, city to city, country to country, culture to culture. Not because I had to, but because I could.

I was the African child who went skiing in the Alps, sailed on yachts, and walked into rooms where no one looked like me — never apologizing for being there.

Some admired it. Many misunderstood it. Especially those closest to me. They worried if I would ever settle down.

But I wasn’t lost. I was gathering.

Every trip, every taste, every breath of new air taught me something about people, rest, joy, hunger, and home.

The name Kumbatia San means “to embrace” and honors the Khoi-San people — the first hunter-gatherers of Southern Africa. They moved with intention, gathering food, wisdom, and each other.

Breath & Brunch Lounge is my version of that gathering.

It is calm mornings with bottomless mimosas. Movement that centers you. Afro-fusion food cooked with soul. Quiet luxury that stays with you.

This space is for women like me — the ones who feel deeply and crave nourishment on every level.

Breath & Brunch is not about perfection but presence. About letting your shoulders drop and gathering without expectations.

I built this space because I have been hungry for it all my life. For me. And for you.

Bookings open 25 July. Under the sun, on our mats, around the table. Breathing. Eating. Laughing. Being.
