Female owned and operated since 2019 💪
AND Men welcome from the start.

I often get enquiries about my “women’s programs” and “retreats for girls”. This is a misconception - I guess the wellness space has an assumption of being a women’s only space? And yes, most of my clients typically are women. But, today I got a message from someone asking if men were allowed to join. My heart lifted.

I love the movement back to connection and community in women centric spaces over the last few years.

AND I want Men to be well too.

So grab the men in your life and let’s head to the into the mountains. 🤸🏽

Summer is upon us, and in Ayurveda, this is known as Pitta season, dominated by the fire element. We love the warmth, the long days, and all the fun, but it's important to remember that too much fire can lead to burnout!

So, how do we enjoy summer without getting overheated? Here are some tips! This isn't a list of "don'ts," but rather a guide to understanding what can contribute to internal heat, empowering you to find your perfect summer balance through regulation, moderation and cooling resources.

❌ Intense work days or emotionally intense conversations

❌ Red meat, BBQ’d Foods, Spicy & Oily Foods

❌ Jam packed schedules

❌ Alcohol & Caffeine (yes, even if cold or Iced!)

❌ Intense workouts, particularly in the heat of the day.

Some practices that support cooling the body:

✅ Sweet foods (fruits & grains), Bitter foods (leafy greens) & astringent foods (lentils, chickpeas, cauliflower, broccoli)

✅ Proper hydration! Add lemon or cucumber, or try coconut water

✅ Teas: Mint, hibiscus, chamomile, fennel, licorice, rose

✅ Loose clothes made from natural fabrics

✅ Coconut oil abhyanga (self massage)

And of course remember to put sunscreen on your ears! 💛

A lot of this may sound obvious or intuitive - and THAT is the beauty of ayurveda. Practice this awareness in all aspects of your life so that you can begin to ride in harmony with nature flow.

Adventure [ad-ven-cher] /ədˈven.tʃɚ/
𝘈 𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘥, 𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦.

It was never about achieving, conquering or dominating. These colonial & capitalist attitudes have turned adventure into a commodity that we are told we have to earn.

Let’s reclaim Adventure.

Adventure; 𝘛𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.

I like to think of these territories as the edges of our familiarity, habits, routines and comfort zones. When we explore into new territories, we can see and be in the world, in bold, new & courageous ways.

And that’s pretty adventurous.

Do Whistler, Different.

Skip the crowds.
Skip the parties.

Explore & Restore. The way Nature intended.

Weekly backcountry hiking trips headed out throughout Summer 🌸

We believe the mountains, rivers and seas are our greatest teachers; they hold space for introspection, reflection and connection. They bring awareness to our mindset, what we bring to our team, how we work towards goals. They humble us, and at the same time show us we are stronger than we think.

❄️ Conditions Report - still winter! ❄️

Sweet couple days on a supply run up into the mountains. Heavy bags and soft snow made for slow moving, but grateful for fun company 😆

Thanks for good laughs and snapping great pics

Soulful Solo Travellers always Welcome 🛸

Some of my most incredible travel moments have been my solo trips around europe, asia, Australia & New Zealand. There's nothing quite like meeting kindred spirits who become part of your story for a moment in time and imprint on your heart for longer than they will ever know.

Same goes for all the wonderful folks who I have had the pleasure of leading through China, Vietnam, Thailand, Peru the list goes on. The growth, through vulnerability and silly jet lagged giggles, shared triumphs of foreign menus and endless 💩 jokes, is not quite like anything else.

If you're feeling the pull of a solo adventure, let's connect! We're here to support you. 💖
