"I am so glad I attended the one-day reset retreat with Jess and Miriam! It was an incredible experience and they did such an amazing job creating a fun, safe and affirming environment. I went into the retreat with an open-mind, but also extremely burnt out and stressed; I left feeling part of a supportive community with tips for incorporating positive lifestyle changes back at home. The highlight for me were the breathwork workshop, which left me feeling lighter and psychologically healthier after just the first experience. All in all, an experience that truly exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to upcoming retreats!"
~Puja Kumar, Deputy General Counsel & Assistant Secretary Sagard
"The connections that I made with in my own body and heart were invigorating."

This transformative experience has been instrumental in balancing the demands of work and motherhood, offering a much-needed source of rejuvenation. Highly recommend for fellow busy moms and or career women seeking a powerful tool for self-care and vitality. Grateful for the impact it's had on my journey and looking forward to more sessions with Jess and Miriam!!”
