November 23 - 30, 2024

This retreat seamlessly blended barefoot adventures with five-star luxury, encouraging guests to step out of their comfort zones while enjoying high-class amenities. Highlights included surfing unforgettable waves, forming deep connections, horseback riding on secluded beaches, and savoring fresh, farm-to-table cuisine.

It was a truly transformative escape in the enchanting setting of Mizata, offering an unforgettable balance of adventure and indulgence.

3 separate retreats in 2024

In 2024, I hosted three unforgettable week-long retreats on the stunning island of Crete, Greece, each of which sold out. We stayed at a boutique property on Kissamos Paralia Beach, offering serene ocean views and easy access to authentic Greek culture and the nearby town of Kissamos.

​

The days were filled with highlights like daily yoga and fitness sessions, a private boat trip to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island, and visits to iconic beaches such as Elafonisi and Falasarna. Guests enjoyed Greek culinary experiences, including breakfast at the hotel, dinners at local tavernas, a Greek cookout, and a lively night of Cretan dancing and plate smashing.

​

With an educational olive oil tour, opportunities for relaxation with sunbeds and snorkeling gear, and time to explore by bike, this retreat was a perfect mix of culture, wellness, and adventure. Greece 2024 truly was a trip of a lifetime!

November 1 - 4, 2024

In fall 2024, I teamed up with Carrie from Root to Rise Yoga Retreats to host a rejuvenating weekend getaway in Ontario’s cottage country. Inspired by our incredible retreat together in Greece, we brought the same spirit of connection and renewal closer to home.

​

Held from November 1st to 4th at The Cedars Halliburton, the retreat offered a tranquil escape as the season shifted to autumn. Guests stayed in cozy side-by-side cottages with stunning views of West Lake, enjoying a heated studio for daily inferno hot pilates and yoga sessions, as well as a sauna for ultimate relaxation.

​

Every detail was thoughtfully planned, creating a perfect balance of health, wellness, and indulgence in the serene beauty of fall. It was a refreshing experience filled with connection, renewal, and relaxation.

November 3 - 10, 2023

El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, kicked off my love for this region with its perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. In this one-of-a-kind surf and yoga retreat, guests stayed in spacious, elegant suites right on the ocean, surrounded by idyllic tropical beaches, vibrant towns, and rich cultural traditions.

​

Steps away from incredible cafés, restaurants, and the lively El Tunco nightlife, guests enjoyed the freedom to shape their days—whether filled with surfing and exploring or indulging in relaxation. The retreat center, a fully functioning hotel, made everything seamless.

​

With a warm welcome dinner, a heartfelt goodbye dinner, and plenty of opportunities to try new things, this retreat was unforgettable. It sparked my love for El Salvador, inspiring me to plan another getaway for 2024!

February 19 - 26, 2023

Hidden in the jungle, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cancun, we found an oasis of serenity at La Hacienda Cancun. Surrounded by nature, this boutique hotel, with its blend of native materials, colonial elements, and modern facilities, offered the perfect environment for rest and rejuvenation.

​

Each day began with the sounds of tropical birds and trickling fountains, setting the tone for a week of relaxation. The retreat allowed us to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with our inner selves. We nourished our bodies with whole foods, released stress and stagnant energy, and found peace in the natural surroundings.

​

Through daily yoga and Pilates, we became both physically and mentally stronger, leaving the retreat feeling recharged and ready to face the world again. It was a transformative experience, one that brought a sense of renewal and deep connection to nature.
