The Mediterranean Lifestyle Movement Rich Life Strategist & Mediterranean Chef
Anita Heidema and Dario Tomaselli are the co-founders of O’Live Your Life – The Mediterranean Lifestyle Movement, a global initiative redefining midlife as a design opportunity rather than a decline.
Anita is a Rich Life Strategist, health advocate, international bestselling author, and longtime podcast host. Dario is an Italian-born, world-renowned chef with more than 40 years of culinary experience across Europe, Asia, and North America, including work with Massimo Bottura’s Food for Soul.
After finding each other later in life, they realized how easily success, busyness, and routine can recreate disconnection—even in beautiful places. While working together in Italy, they made a pact to stop postponing joy, health, and connection and instead design life intentionally through food, daily rituals, shared meals, and slowing down.
Today, they help people—especially those 40+ who look successful but feel disconnected—reclaim joy, vitality, and meaning without rigid diets, hustle culture, or blowing up their lives. Their work blends emotional storytelling with practical wisdom, showing that the Mediterranean Lifestyle is not a diet, but a deeply human way of living.
