Dolphin Retreats in Egypt 🐬

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.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is have FUN.

We are all children inside adult bodies.
Deep down, we all want to feel safe, happy and loved.
We all long for joy. For play. For fun. ✨

Dolphins remind us of this so beautifully.
They live fully in the present moment, following their intuition with ease.
They play, spin, splash, leap — and show us that play is not a luxury, but a necessity for our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. 🐬

And yet… so many of us take life far too seriously.
We’ve learned to earn our fun instead of allowing it.
To postpone joy for “one day”, for when things are calmer, easier, more settled.
But life is happening now.

Maybe you meditate daily.
Maybe you go to church.
Maybe you sign up for yet another Reiki, yoga, breathwork or spiritual course…

But how often do you consciously choose joy?
Not as a reward, but as a way of being.
Not because you’ve done enough, but because your nervous system, heart and soul need it.

And when I say fun, I don’t mean swimming with dolphins every day (although… 111% yes in an ideal world 😄).
I mean dancing in your living room.
Rolling down a hill.
Playing in nature.
Laughing so hard your belly hurts.
Doing something purely because it lights you up. 🌿✨

No matter how spiritual we think we are if we cannot laugh and play, there is still work to be done.

✨ This is just ONE of the many components of our Mermaid Retreat this coming September.
We do deep spiritual work on the boat, ceremony, embodiment, healing and inner exploration and we absolutely remember to have fun. Because true healing doesn’t only happen in silence and seriousness, it also happens through laughter, movement, connection and shared joy.

There is space to soften, to release control, to be silly, playful and fully yourself.
To remember that pleasure, joy and fun are not distractions from the path: they are the path. 🧜♀️🌊

If your heart is craving both depth and lightness, devotion and play…
maybe this journey is calling you.

💙 Come swim, play, remember and meet your inner mermaid.

Sometimes I look at old photos of myself and wonder… how did she become this woman?

How did that little girl, with her innocence, her sensitivity, all the questions... grow into someone who now holds others through transformation, truth, and change?

And the answer is… she never left.

She’s in everything I create.

This is who creates your life-changing retreats with wildlife in the ocean.

This is who helps you open your heart and find your way back to joy and wholeness.

This is the one who creates spaces where you can’t hide from yourself anymore.

This is the little girl who learned to survive… and now teaches others how to thrive.

This is the one who turns breakdowns into breakthroughs, again and again and again.

This is who holds you while everything you thought you were… falls away.

This is the one who reminds you of who you are… and won’t let you forget it.

This is who creates spaces for women to come back home to themselves.

This is who guides others through some of the most transformational experiences of their lives.

This is the little girl who now helps others open their hearts and find the courage to feel it all.

This is the one who creates moments people will remember for the rest of their lives.

This is who you trust when you say yes to a retreat that will change you.

This is who is holding you when you step into my spaces.

And maybe… this is also a reminder of who you have always been.

One of the many things I love about our Mermaid Retreat is that it’s limited to just 10 mermaids. This allows us to create an intimate, close-knit sisterhood where every woman feels seen, loved, heard, and held by her mermaid sisters.

True sisterhood isn’t about surface-level bonding or pretending we’re all the same. It’s about being in a space where you don’t need to compete, perform, or hold everything together. Where softness isn’t weakness and emotions don’t need to be fixed. Where you’re allowed to arrive exactly as you are. And when women gather in water, something powerful happens. We are sensual, creative beings, and water is a natural conductor of flow, emotion, femininity, and magic. Surrounded by water, we soften. Armour drops. Emotions surface. Conversations become more honest and reach deeper places.

This kind of sisterhood doesn’t rush intimacy. It grows through shared presence. Through floating together. Breathing together. Laughing, resting, and sometimes crying without judgement. Oh and let's not forget once in a lifetime dolphin experiences.... because ever mermaid loves dolphins.

There is something deeply healing about remembering that you don’t have to do life alone. This retreat isn’t about becoming best friends overnight. It's about remembering that we are ONE and we are stronger together. These friendships, the connection you experience here will and DO last a lifetime.

We can't wait to welcome you into our sister mermaid circle.

📍 Red Sea
🗓 12–19 September

Have you noticed how your energy softens the moment you’re near water? You don’t even need to enter it sometimes. Just dipping your feet in can be enough.

Maybe you’ve always called yourself a water baby.
Maybe holidays are only holidays if they involve the sea.
Maybe you feel more yourself in a swimsuit than dressed up for anything else.
Maybe you’ve caught yourself staring at the ocean thinking, I could just stay here forever.

Your breath slows down, your mind stops racing, and you feel a little bit more you.

Have you ever wondered why?

Your inner child loves water because water is where we first felt held. In the womb, we floated safely, without having to do anything or be anyone.In the warmth of your mother’s womb, you received everything you needed to develop, grow, and feel nourished and cared for.

Your body remembers that version of you. And water helps activate that memory and bring it to the surface. This memory lives in your nervous system. So when you step into water, something inside you recognises it, even if your mind can’t explain it.

That’s why you might feel emotional by the sea for “no reason”.
Why tears come.
Why joy feels closer.
Why you suddenly want to play, float, dive, or just lie there doing nothing.

Your inner child wants to feel.
To move.
To trust.
To be curious.
To play.

And water gives them the permission to do that.

This is also why experiences like swimming with dolphins, floating near whales, or being in the presence of whale sharks feel so deeply touching. These experiences are not magical because they’re exotic or another “bucket list” item, far from it. They are magical because they bypass the adult mind and speak directly to the body and spirit.

Animals don’t ask who you are, what you do, or how strong you’re being.
They meet you exactly where you are.

And your inner child recognises that safety instantly.

When you allow the water to hold you, you are invited to soften into exactly who you are in that momen. Presence. Truth. Just you.

There are many places in the world where you can swim with whale sharks, but not all of them offer ethical or respectful encounters.

Mafia Island is different. Here, whale sharks are not chased, touched, fed, or exploited for tourism. They come naturally, and encounters are carefully regulated to protect their space, their rhythm, and their wellbeing.

This respect for marine life is one of the main reasons we choose Mafia Island. When animals are honoured rather than exploited, the experience becomes calmer, deeper, and truly meaningful for everyone involved.

If you feel called to meet the ocean’s elders in a way that feels respectful, safe, and aligned, send me a DM or tap the link in my bio to learn more. 🐋🌊✨
