GoogleKaren and her retreats are amazing and a well worth while experience. Through her guidance I was able to deepen my meditation practice and feel so amazing for it. Being able to practice yoga everyday on the retreat was fabulous. The teacher was able to adapt the class to suit everyone's varying abilities and energy levels, so I felt challenged, safe and oh so relaxed after every class. The yoga nidra and head massages were the perfect way to end each yoga practice!
I had the most amazing meditation session with Claire last week. I haven’t been able to mediate and really ‘switch off’ and really wanted to get into practice of clearing out a lot of negative thoughts I had with past trauma with trust and relationships. I trusted her to take me on a beautiful mind-state and it really has made such a difference to my thought processes and I definitely feel more grounded. Thank you Claire 🙏
That retreat was an amazing experience for me! I’m still applying all the meditation and mindfulness techniques I learnt and feeling so much better than ever before. Best thing I did for myself!
So many options to choose from in this space in Byron and I was so lucky to connect with Karen. She was thoughtful, considerate and addressed all of my concerns through our one on one half day meditation. A true maestro of her craft.
I had such a beautiful private session which put all of the pieces together in my mind about how to actually meditate. Such practical and seriously knowledgeable advice which I’m sure will help to support my journey!
