The Well Being Retreat
October 23rd-25th, 2026
A weekend of immersive practices to have you feeling well.
Join me for three days immersed in nature, movement, mindfulness, nourishing meals, and the kind of rejuvenating rest that's difficult to find in everyday life.
Location: Nectar Yoga Retreat, Bowen Island (Nex̱wlélex̱m). Just a 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay! Nectar is a Scandinavian inspired retreat centre, with beautiful and modern cottage accommodation built in the quiet of an alder forest.
For those:
Taking care of everyone else before themselves.
Running on autopilot.
Saying they’ll slow down "once things calm down."
Craving space to hear their thoughts again.
Feeling disconnected from their body.
A weekend to slow down, take care of yourself, and return home feeling refreshed.

Meet your Host
Hosting retreats came to me as natural next step to offering people opportunities to feel better as a yoga and pilates instructor. Looking back to my teens and 20’s, I was always wanting to create an “experience” for others. Whether it be curated music, a theme to the meal, bringing goodies to enhance the day; this type of generosity is where I feel purpose.
Rejuvenation happens, for me, when I can step away from my everyday norm, get outside of the confines of my home and intentionally experience something different. I’m a fulfilled but tired mom, a business owner, daughter, friend and wearing other hats… simpatico?
My teaching style is clear, approachable, and easy to follow. I use language that helps everyone (complete beginners to experienced practitioners) feel comfortable and supported. I teach from a modern, accessible perspective, without spiritual language or expectations. The movement practices throughout this weekend are designed to help you feel relaxed, energized, and at home in your body.
