Lindvall is developing a private retreat called Greenleaf Oasis in Topanga, outside of LA, writes HBS. The seven-acre estate dedicated to the healing arts and nutrition. Lindvall says she’s been an avid environmentalist since 1998 and a nature girl forever.

I would be out in the field catching insects or scouting for frogs in the creek. I was such a total nature girl. I collected animal cards when I was young, ones that have all the animals’ photographs and their description, and I really wanted to be a photographer for the National Geographic. Then, I found out that [to do that] you had to spend a long time sitting in a bush waiting for an animal, which wouldn’t be as fun as being in front of the camera [laughs]. I also had a vision of having my own piece of land and growing my own food. That’s a dream that did come true.

I live in a world where there is too much focus on external beauty.

Asked what pretty means to her. Lindvall cites her mother’s wisdom: ‘pretty is as pretty does’. You can be born with nice genetics but if you are not a nice person, then it takes away from any blessings that you have.
