About the Founders
Diana and Elaine
Health and Happiness in The Algarve
Last Update 2 months ago
Diana who is Dutch, created Lovitall.pt and Elaine who is English, founded The Perfect Health HUB
When they met, they knew they were kindred spirits with a deep love for helping others to live their best life.
Both ladies realised there is a gap within magazine distribution in The Algarve for a comprehensive and different approach.
Whilst there are many home and lifestyle publications with plenty of real estate information, there was no central point for family activities, sports, culture, and nature.
Health and Happiness in The Algarve is our answer.
We offer more than a publication - we are forming a community!
What does Diana Steenbeek, the founder of Lovitall.pt, do to stay active?
Diana has a passion for nature and adventure. She enjoys hiking the beautiful 7 Hanging Valleys, which takes roughly 2-3 hours one way or 4-6 hours for a round trip, connecting Praia da Marinha to Praia de Vale Centeanes. You can also walk just a part of this.
This breathtaking route takes you along steep cliffs, picturesque bays, and unique rock formations. The hike offers not only spectacular views of the ocean but also the chance to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the region. The trail is perfect for both experienced hikers and families looking for a fun activity.
During her walks, Diana appreciates the tranquility and beauty of the surroundings, encouraging others to experience it for themselves. It’s an ideal way to relax and spend quality time with friends or family.
In addition to her love for hiking, Diana also enjoys playing padel, a sport that is becoming increasingly popular in Portugal. Each week, she trains with a personal trainer because she believes in the motto,
"If you don’t use it, you lose it." After the age of 50, one can lose half of their muscle strength if they don’t stay active.
Together with her family, she often plays mini-golf, which creates a fun and competitive atmosphere. Occasionally, they wrap up their week with an exciting escape room, where teamwork and problem-solving skills are key, giving their brains a good workout.
Her active lifestyle and the time she spends with her family make her an inspiring figure for many!
What does Elaine, the founder of The Perfect Health HUB do to keep active?
Elaine has two large rescue dogs who she takes walking daily.
A former active pickleball player, retired through injury, Elaine uses various healing devices to optimise her wellbeing daily.
In addition, she has a small gym at her house which helps her to recover from recent injuries.
Elaine is semi retired and currently writing her memoir series. alongside developing the Health and Happiness magazine with Diana.
Elaine keeps her mind active too. She founded the DISCPlus Academy and trains coaches, teachers, and leaders how to identify and prevent illness and disease, including burnout. She draws on over 30 years experience in using the DISC model of behavioural profiling and is on a mission to work with 100 coaches in the coming year. Together they will positively impact over 10,000 individuals.
