  • “Rachel is an amazing yoga instructor and organized a wonderful retreat! It was all about unplugging, meeting new people and experiencing new challenges. I recommend this retreat for anyone that’s wants to trade in the daily grind for a few days of yoga, meditation, delicious healthy meals and a chance to experience beautiful New Hampshire.”

  • “This retreat was everything I needed in my healing journey. Rachel’s energy alone was enough to make this retreat unforgettable, she is such a bright light in this world! Rachel created a safe and comforting environment allowing for deep reflection, relaxation and healing. I let go of things I didn’t even know I was holding onto! I laughed and cried and fell in love with ME!! I left this retreat levitating on life, I highly recommend Rachel’s retreat to anyone searching to find their authentic self or release feelings that are no longer serving you! It’s all about reconnecting to yourself and nature. This weekend was everything my mind, body and soul needed! I am already counting down the days until next year!"

  • “The weekend was a self-journey using the elements as a guide. Each day was a different experience of yoga, food, and activities that went with each element. Focusing on each element forced me to look at each element in a way I never had before. It had me stop taking it as something in the background as I went about my daily life. By stopping and looking it also had me look at my daily life. To stop going on autopilot, look at what is working and what is not working.”

  • “Rachel! As always with you, it was a magical experience. You did an amazing job of moving us through the elements - and wow Mother Nature was happy to do-create that perfect experience with you! Nature Goddess for real. This weekend was full of so many moments that felt like a warm hug! You do such a wonderful job of making each and every attendee feel seen and heard by you (and the group)… the ones you have known for years as well as those who are coming having never even met you! Your warmth, vulnerability and authenticity creates the perfect container for us to feel comfortable and get the most from the experience. I love co-creating magical experiences with you and cannot wait to share our gifts together more!”
