This wellness weekend
Leave the weekend feeling refreshed, inspired, and clear on how to make small, impactful changes in your life to maximize your vitality.
This weekend is designed to be both educational and experiential, using the timeless wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda as frameworks for understanding and experiencing holistic health. We will provide you with just enough knowledge to guide your mind toward your health goals, while allowing your body and heart to experience what true nourishment feels like - through the combination of movement, stillness, slowing down in nature, delicious fresh food and being witnessed in community.
True health isn't about quick fixes or hacks; it's about shifting your identity. Discover the passion for your mission and understand that good health is the strong foundation needed to bring your unique gifts into the world.

Wellness Weekends are our signature experience for those seeking a mini retreat on the Kenyan Coast. These long weekends only happen on selected dates throughout the year, and include 3 nights on half board, 4 yoga sessions, 2 deeply relaxing massages, a guided nature-based adventure, walks, time to rest, reflect, and connect with community. Each Wellness Weekend is different, led by a different visiting teacher, bringing their unique blend of trainings and experience.
Meet your teacher for this retreat.
I’ve always been drawn to the things that make life feel alive. To me this consists of connecting people to their Spirit, and to each other. My favourite ways to celebrate this aliveness is through food, music, healing conversations, nature, movement, and stillness. I love learning what makes people light up. Doing what I can to help them soften and drop their tension. And creating experiences that help them get a little closer to who they are underneath the conditioning, the beliefs and the limitations.
My favourite tools for transformation are yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, Nature, singing, and of course, nutritious food. All of these modalities can alter our consciousness and help us wake up to the reality of Divine unity. Underpinning everything is the deep knowing that behind all the things in life, the ‘nouns’, there is an intelligent force always moving towards harmony. And connecting to that force, that is the deepest form of nourishment.
Having lived the first half of my life in Kenya, and for many years poured my heart into the creation of Treehouse, very few things bring me as much joy as does guiding people through healing experiences here. So I am delighted to be your facilitator for these three days together.
