Testimonials

This was the most amazing retreat. The other women were incredible and inspiring. Our host, Sandra, had an exciting itinerary for every day. When we had to stray from a daily excursion it was always to take advantage of an even greater experience. Amazing, Magical and Spiritually enlightening. Thank you Sandra, I will see you again!!

Kathy, USA

I am so thankful for this amazing self-care retreat! It was the perfect reset that I needed in my life. I loved the daily yoga and meditation and I’m using many of the techniques we learned at home. We had tons of laughs and fun during our excursions and we were pampered during our spa days. The food was delicious and super healthy. I had so much fun connecting with so many inspiring women and felt very safe and loved. Sandy is an amazing host and a beautiful soul.
