Had the best weekend hosting my first retreat!! We had absolutely to-die-for food prepared by Chef Melanie, welcome drink & Moon Mama tea by Gaia’s Garden & Apothecary, massages by Marie West, sound bath by Let’s Get Tuned, all at the Hangout Hideaway. To say this retreat was a success is an understatement. I’m so incredibly grateful for those who helped bring this dream to life and for these dear friends who trusted me with their precious time & resources to care for them this weekend. 

I’ll definitely be planning more retreats so let me know if you think you’d be interested in my next one!! 🌱
