Yoga & Dolphin Retreats in Egypt 🐬

Retreat in Cyprus & Bali 🌸

Yoga ✺ Breathwork ✺ Cacao ✺ Love ✺ Freedom People come into your life at the right time and you often find yourself in the right place (even if it seems random) - there are no mistakes in the universe and there is a reason why you are reading this page right now. If you want to know who I am professionally the answer would be yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, author and retreat organiser. But if you want to know who I am beneath those titles, the answer would be:

I am a human being, on a spirtual journey - and so are YOU! Depression, severe anxiety, self harming, self sabotage, wanting to end my life... I was 18 years old and totally lost. This is when yoga entered my life and over the next 10 years I have been building myself up. One day at a time, I kept choosing to fight for my life, I looked for light over dark and I'm so grateful that I am still here. Today I teach yoga and breathwork classes, online and in person and organise and run international retreats all over the world. My role is to gently remind you that you are the creator of your life. At any given moment you can rewrite the story, let go of your limited beliefs and choose to let your inner light shine! I look forward to seeing you in class or on a retreat. Much love to you and thank you for being here.

I can’t believe how quickly this year has passed. As I sit down to reflect, my heart feels so blessed, for all the travels, all the moments of magic, and all the beautiful souls I had the honour of meeting and guiding.

This year, we spent five incredible weeks with the dolphins, a sacred week in Bali, and another in the desert. And yes, our onboard chef Hassan is absolutely AMAZING! He even made this beautiful cake to celebrate our final day together just three weeks ago. 🐬🎂

Over 70 beautiful souls trusted me on their journey, and together we:

• swam with wild dolphins
• explored ancient Balinese temples
• shared fire ceremonies under the stars
• swam in mermaid tails in turquoise waters
• watched the sun rise and set over the Red Sea
• hugged, cried, laughed and healed together

and soooooooo much more!

Every year our community grows and with it, our impact on the world grows too. Because change starts with you. You return home softer, clearer, awakened… and that energy ripples outward. The butterfly effect. You touch others. They shift. And together, we create change.

If you’re feeling called to go deeper next year, to feel more, to be more, to reconnect with your inner mermaid, I would love to invite you into the water with me with a little Christmas gift:

€150 OFF all Dolphin Retreats
Use code: WILD at checkout
Valid until 31.12

And because shared experiences amplify healing…

🐬💞 Bring a friend and you BOTH receive €250 off
Whether it’s a sister, a partner, a friend — this is one of the most beautiful ways to experience the dolphins. Send me a DM for more info!

These offers are valid only throughout December, and spaces remain intentionally limited to honour the dolphins and keep our circles intimate.

Scroll to the next picture and see what other portals of love and transformation are open for you... Whichever journey your heart is guiding you toward, I cannot wait to hold space for you ,in the water, in our circles, and in the softest corners of your healing.

Thank you for being part of this pod, this community, this movement of love and expansion.

LIFE UPDATE:

I’m writing to you from peaceful Dahab, a golden coastal town in Egypt that has wrapped itself around my heart.

These past months have stretched me in every direction. I’ve been on the road almost nonstop — Australia, Bali, Poland, and now four retreats in Egypt. Constant movement, new beds, new energies, new stories to hold. My spirit is strong, but my human body… she is tired. She is craving grounding in a deep, primal way. Now it’s time to go home, see my family, cuddle my dog, and remember what “normal life” even feels like.

And honestly… what is “normal” ? If 2025 has taught me anything, it’s to never take the surface level of things as truth.

In September, I lost a dear friend to su***de. Since then, three more people all of whom had been on retreat with me opened up and shared their struggles, telling me that they too often feel “hopeless”. These are people who, from the outside, seem to have it all: successful careers, beautiful marriages, luxurious travel, full lives. Yet beneath the mask, they are carrying sorrow, confusion, and a desperate longing to feel okay again.

When I shared my own truth with them, they were shocked.

They couldn’t believe that earlier this year I started therapy because my mind felt like it was spiralling downward and even basic tasks became hard.
They couldn’t believe it when I shared that ten years ago I overdosed and wanted to end my life.
They couldn’t believe it when I admitted that I still don’t have life “figured out.”

We are all more alike that you think... and here’s the thing: life isn’t meant to be figured out. It’s meant to be lived. To be experienced. To be felt.

Some seasons we rise into joy, love, expansion. Other seasons we descend into grief, uncertainty, and darkness. Both are part of the human journey.

What I love most about our retreat community is the raw vulnerability so many of you bring. Some quietly, some openly but always with courage. When stories are shared in a safe space, shame dissolves, connection deepens, and true healing becomes possible. We realise we are not alone. We never were.

Over the last couple of months, my email list and number of followers has increased and I’d love to share my story with those who are new and maybe share new pieces of me for those who have been here for years. My hope is that somewhere within my story, you’ll recognise parts of your own.

My journey with yoga began back in 2018 (see picture below) I was in my first year of university studying film production, struggling with anxiety and depression. My mind felt heavy, my heart disconnected. Someone suggested I try a yoga class, and that single class changed my life. For the first time, I felt my breath. I felt my body. I felt peace.

Maybe you’ve had a moment like that too, a moment where something simple shifted everything, where a spark of light broke through the noise and reminded you that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

After I graduated, I followed that calling to India to complete my yoga teacher training. It wasn’t easy. I fell sick, I doubted myself, I nearly gave up. But deep down, I knew I was being guided somewhere greater than I could yet see.

When I returned home, I trusted that pull and hosted my first retreat in Spain in 2019. Five women came. We began as strangers, and by the end of the week, we were family. Each of us softened. We laughed, cried, shared, breathed, and remembered who we truly were beneath the noise of life. That’s when I realised this is why I’m here. To help others come home to themselves.

And maybe that’s something your soul has been longing for too, a chance to pause, to reconnect, to feel lighter, clearer, and more like you again.

Of course, the path wasn’t always easy. When I first started hosting retreats at 23, I often battled imposter syndrome. I wondered if I was ready to hold space for people older, wiser, more experienced. Over time, I learned that wisdom isn’t measured in years but in how deeply we’ve felt and how much we’ve healed. The challenges of my own childhood, moving countries at eight, and learning to find my place in the world taught me empathy, resilience, and strength. They shaped me into who I am today.

And yet, I’m still evolving, just like you.

In 2023, when I hosted my first retreat in Sataya and swam with the dolphins, something within me shifted completely. The connection, the stillness, the love, it was like coming home again. That’s when I understood that my work is not only about yoga but about helping others remember their essence through nature, through presence, through sacred connection.

Maybe as you read this, you’re remembering how far you’ve come too, the mountains you’ve climbed, the storms you’ve weathered, the times you’ve risen when you didn’t think you could.

If you’ve been walking beside me for a while, thank you. I would love to hear how our journeys have intertwined. And if you’re new here, welcome. I’d love to know where you are in life right now, what you’re seeking, what your heart is calling for. You can simply reply to this email, I read every message.

Wherever you are on your path, know this — you are not behind. You are becoming.

This waterfall was pure POWER. Those of us who had the courage to stand beneath her felt the air swirling all around us. It was surreal, wild, and awakened something ancient within. She reminded us that whether we like it or not, life moves forward, and the flow of life energy continues. There is always a fresh current behind us, bringing everything we need and carrying away the old — the cycle of life in motion.

Coming out of the waterfall, you emerged energized, alive, and ready to conquer the world. It was the wake-up call many of us need — to follow your heart, to be brave, and to be wild, whatever that means to you.

As Clarissa Pinkola Estés writes in Women Who Run With the Wolves:

“Wild woman is a lioness. Her place is in the pride, in the family, in the pack. But her spirit is wild. She runs where she will, when she will, how she will.”

I used to operate from a dysfunctional subconscious programming where I was constantly people-pleasing, trying to do and say what I thought others wanted me to do and say. I was doing it unconsciously, as the little girl inside was simply trying to earn approval, love, and a sense of belonging. Over time, this drained my energy and pulled me further out of alignment with who I truly was.

It took me years to understand that I am not for everyone and I shouldn’t try to be. I used to overpack the retreat schedule, wanting to ensure that everyone found something that resonated, something that moved them. I was constantly trying to prove to myself and others that I was enough, that I was worthy of holding the spaces I created. But today, that has changed. I recognize that those who resonate with me will naturally resonate with my work and what I share. Most importantly, I trust in energy and the divine plan. If our paths cross, it is because there is something we are meant to learn from each other. There are no coincidences in life.

There is power in knowing who you are and upholding your own vibration. Authenticity is the highest vibration, even higher than love or gratitude. Why? Because it’s real. It’s unique. There is no one else like you, and that is your gift. Celebrate all that you are and all that you are not, without needing to explain why. Own your power. Own your truth. Own the words you speak. Own your dreams, even if they don’t make sense to anyone else but you.

Make a promise to yourself today: stop bending, stop shrinking, stop trying to fit into a mold that isn’t yours. Show up fully as you, unapologetically. The world needs the real you, not an edited version created to fit into places that don’t fit you.

And all of the above is another reason why retreat spaces are so transformational. You step outside of your usual environment, outside of the version of yourself that others know, and you have the opportunity to reconnect with yourself. No one there knows you, and there is no agenda you are expected to achieve. It’s your week with yourself, and you get to uncover your true essence all over again.

If your heart is calling you to step into your truth, your authenticity, and your higher vibration, join us on one of our transformative retreats.
