“Kathrine and Desiree are like the team that you need! Where one has a master set of skills, so does the other. And with them combined, it’s like you get this total package of health, food, emotional support - they’re kind of like the dream team.
”
Terry’s Retreat Experience
“It was such a phenomenal experience to reconnect, you know, after Covid, to reconnect with women again, to go inward within myself. I guess my favorite part was the bonding experiences I had with women…it was the conversations, the time we spent together, and I feel great. It was phenomenal.”

Katrina’s Retreat Experience
“My favorite part was being able to meet the other women on the retreat and being able to make those connections, and finding out that although the world is big, we have so much in common with other people. We have so many similar lived experiences.”
“It was great because they’re [Kathrine and Desiree] so open and willing to answer any questions we had about the retreat, about yoga, about how the mind connects with the body. Kathrine did a really good job providing nutritional information, and I really love her non-diet philosophy, and the fact that we should be focused more on our health, rather than focused on losing weight or what our body looks like.”
Deb’s Retreat Experience
“It’s really nice to know you’re not the only one working on yourself. With big things - like being vulnerable, yoga, food, and it’s really nice to be able to find like-minded people that you can really kind of open yourself up with. If you’re hesitant and uncomfortable, that means the work is happening - so you should just go for it.”

“It was so wonderful to see how these women really took a chance on themselves, showed up, and were open, excited, and ready to learn and experience new things.”
“You would think something that’s 3 days - how deep can you get? But we really came out of this so connected and so close. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”
“What do you truly want? What makes your soul light up? What makes you excited to wake up the next day?”
