Seasonal Sanctuary Days

Rest with the Seasons. Return to Yourself.

Life has a natural rhythm.

Each season gently invites us to pause, reflect, grow, let go and begin again.

Our Seasonal Sanctuary Days are a collection of beautiful one day retreats inspired by the changing seasons, offering you the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with yourself in a peaceful and nurturing environment.

Held in a beautiful village hall overlooking the lake, each retreat blends gentle yoga, guided meditation, Angelic Reiki healing, crystal healing, chakra balancing, sound healing, nourishing homemade food and deeply restorative relaxation into one carefully curated experience.

More than simply a relaxing day away, every Sanctuary Day has been thoughtfully designed to help calm your nervous system, restore your energy and inspire simple practices you can continue long after you return home.

Whether you join us for one Sanctuary Day or choose to experience the changing seasons with us throughout the year, you’ll always receive a warm welcome and leave feeling calmer, lighter and deeply restored.

Because every season offers an invitation to come home to yourself.

More Than a Retreat

A Seasonal Sanctuary Day is so much more than a beautiful day away.

It’s an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself through a carefully curated blend of movement, healing, reflection and rest.

Every element of the day has been intentionally designed to help regulate your nervous system, restore your energy and create a lasting sense of calm and wellbeing.

Rather than simply enjoying a peaceful day, you’ll leave with practical techniques, meaningful experiences and gentle daily rituals that can continue supporting your wellbeing long after the retreat has ended.

Because true transformation doesn’t happen in a single moment.

It grows through the small practices we carry into everyday life.

Meet Your Guide

For more than twenty five years I’ve been supporting people to reconnect with themselves through movement, healing and therapeutic wellbeing practices.

Seasonal Sanctuary Days bring together everything I’ve learned throughout that journey, combining gentle yoga, clinical hypnotherapy principles, Angelic Reiki, crystal healing, chakra balancing and deep relaxation into one carefully curated experience.

It is my hope that you’ll leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected, with practical tools and meaningful experiences that continue supporting your wellbeing long after the day has ended.

It would be my privilege to welcome you.
