I'm still speechless of this amazing week with Selena. It has been such an amazing experience in so many ways. I have been to many retreats and self-love circles. And I did many things in the last 20 years. And I have been skeptical in a sense, like, is this going to be fulfilling? Is it really adding something in my life? And I would say, after this experience, yes, it added so much. It gave me so much trust and trust to be in a group, safe, to be among other women and really feel held. And I think that's because Selena is such a genuine, authentic, beautiful human being that is able to hold a space, to create a container, where you feel so deeply held and appreciated, just the way you are. You just don't have to perform. You don't have to be anyone else. And you just are. And that creates such safety and trust. I felt so loved. And so cared for, and I just felt like treated like a queen. Words fall short to even share with you all what this retreat has done for me. I do believe that anyone that would come to this self-love retreat with Selena will get so much benefit out of it. You will get so much more closer to yourself, into your body, really coming home within yourself. And that, in itself, already is so precious. So yeah, give yourself that gift. It's priceless.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have met Selena and benefitted from her wisdom and skills. For years, I have been living unskillfully, with trauma-based emotional responses that have damaged my relationships and my health. I sought relief in the techniques and teachings that focus on thoughts (cognitive therapy and Byron Katie’s Work), the present (Eckhart Tolle), behavior (non-violent communication), self-compassion (Germer and Neff), and many other modalities. None of these in isolation have helped me made lasting changes. What is different with Selena is that she uses a multidisciplinary approach, tying a multitude of different teachings together with a deeply compassionate, humanistic, loving, heart-centered attitude, where self-rejection of any part of our nature simply cannot thrive. She has helped me to profoundly transform how I see and relate to myself, my family, my past and future, and in the process, enabled me to regain my center, health, and love for life and for the people I am lucky to share it with. I hope that her integrated approach spreads to all corners of the world and to all generations, especially our children, because I see no better way to heal and thrive than through loving, conscious self-acceptance. Selena has an extraordinary emotional and social intelligence, brilliant perception, and warm compassion— a combination that is deeply healing. I will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with her.

Being on retreat with Selena, even though it was only one week, it felt like a month. It has been so fulfilling and nourishing. Even though I have been practicing yoga for a long time, Selena brought many foundational things that she helped bring us back to. Our alignment and breath, self awareness, and she gave great explanations about the body and how energy moves through the body. I learned so much about my body during this week, and how to respect it and not push it. I loved her offering of yoga nidra, and looked forward to it every day! I wish I had more than one week with Selena! I learned a lot and know I am going to continue to learn a lot from her. She is very loving and gentle, and she feels like home.

Selena is a very respectful with everyone. It's fantastic having yoga class with her because she has alternative options for each pose. I was very impressed with the meditations Selena leads. They were very special for me. And I love dancing with Selena! It was really fun. I highly recommend going on retreat with Selena!
