~ TESTIMONIALS ~
Below we share come clippets of feedback we recieved after our last women’s retreat …

‘ My life has changed. So many things that I have learnt over the years came together in one weekend and where previously there was confusion and uncertainty, I dropped into deep belief. I am sure soon this feeling will ebb as I slowly get back into routine but I know that I will find it again. You have given me the most precious gift that I will cherish forever, as I now know that I can access this  space, this state and this presence of being. Thank you.
Sandra - you are a special soul. You held space so beautifully, you offered so much, your teachings so soft, feminine and transformational. my connection with you I cherish. Thank you. Sofia - what a beautiful soul you are, your words always so insightful, meaningful and profound and you were there to offer us so much and be with your beautiful young family. Thank you. I am so grateful to have you both on my path. I know we will meet again. For now I am processing, resting and taking it slow.I have had the most wonderful weekend in so many ways and on so many levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you’
