"I came in quite tense and mentally busy, but over the two days I felt myself slow down a lot. Left feeling much calmer and more present. The breathwork and especially the sound bath really stayed with me. The sound bath helped me fully relax in a way I didn’t expect, made me realise how much tension I’ve been holding. I’ll definitely try to take small pauses during the day to just breathe and reset instead of rushing through everything."

"Biggest takeaway I've learned that everybody is on a different journey and path to improving yourself. You have to discover what works for you and now we have the tools to do that. I'm excited to take that on and implement some of those things in my life, and take my own journey to self improvement and self discovery. Just do it! If you're thinking about it and you want to try something different, definitely try this retreat. It is one of the easiest decision you'll make. Come with an open mind and heart. You'll be surprised at the things you'll go away with."

"The retreat was not like any other. It is a selfless sharing and imparting of knowledge. It is a safe space where lifelong friendships were forged. Stephanie’s sincerity and passion really shows through the program and one could tell that she puts in her genuine thoughts and love for each and everyone of us at the retreat. Thank you so much for this once in a lifetime experience."

"What shifted for me at the 2 days was the Qigong and the singing bowls, and I am truly very grateful to have been given the privilege to experience these workshops. I will definitely recommend this workshop to my friends should another materialise in the near future."

"⁠Qigong impacted me so much I want to see how I can learn more about the practice. I was more intentional with my breathwork and slowing down when anxiety hits"

"The retreat was absolutely amazing, uplifting, eye-opening, peaceful and calm. I met loads of new people. I was really happy as I learned so much about myself, and Stephanie taught us so much. I'm feeling very empowered. I benefitted so much from the retreat and I know my friends would benefit from it too."

"For a first time “retreater” and complete newbie to Qi Gong (or any of the wellness practices offered) my cup was 100% filled by this experience. The mindful practice of Qi Gong and the many associated sessions was expertly instructed and coordinated by Stephanie, and the people participating made the retreat a truly treasured experience. For anyone stumbling across this opportunity by Googling (like me) and worried about taking a leap of faith… rest assured… Stephanie’s engagement quickly allayed any concerns. Come with an open heart, as everyone did. We all left nourished by the experience. For those looking for a week of mindful and nourishing experiences… just do it. Go with an open heart and be willing to share and receive. There was so much good energy it was palpable."

"This retreat combines both practical elements for our daily lives together with working emotionally on healing within. It was an absolutely beautiful retreat meeting people who came together to care and support, learning new things and experiencing the most beautiful healing nature I have ever seen. The energy carries after it's over back into our lives and I cannot be more grateful for the self worth, confidence, courage and flow I am watching now unfold after the retreat. Steph is a beautiful, caring soul who has been through so much, learning from her experiences are so enriching and I just feel so blessed to have been able to make it to this retreat!"

“At 87 years old, I discovered that it is never too late to learn new ways to care for our bodies and our well-being.”

It was a truly enriching weekend for me. I came away with a deeper appreciation of how wonderfully our bodies are made, and how they respond to healthy eating, exercise, and breathing techniques that help us remain calm even in moments of pressure or anxiety.

I especially valued learning how to massage the body’s acupressure points to relieve pain and support healing. It reminded me that not every pain in our bodies needs a doctor, surgery, or medication. Sometimes, our own hands can help the body restore itself.

Since returning home, I have been applying the acupressure points for my insomnia and backache, and I am happy to say that I am now sleeping better and my backache is almost gone.

The programme was also very well rounded, helping us understand the importance of building healthy relationships within our families, our social circles, and our working lives.

At my age, I am grateful to still be learning ways to care for my health and well-being. I left the weekend feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally stronger to interact with all those in my circle of influence."
