  • I wasn't sure what to expect, but did not leave dissappointed

    The "Invest in Me" Retreat with Jess and Miriam was amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect, but did not leave disappointed. The day was filled with instructor led breathwork, deep relaxation and self discovery. I was so relaxed and moved by the breathwork experience. Lunch was light, flavorful and healthy. Yoga was challenging but so rewarding. I am looking forward to the next one!

  • I left feeling part of a supportive community

    I am so glad I attended the one-day reset retreat with Jess and Miriam! It was an incredible experience and they did such an amazing job creating a fun, safe and affirming environment. I went into the retreat with an open mind, but also extremely burnt out and stressed; I left feeling part of a supportive community with tips for incorporating positive lifestyle changes back at home. The highlight for me was the breath work session, which left me feeling psychologically healthier after just the first experience. All in all, an amazing experience that truly exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to upcoming retreats.
