Testimonials from the Spring Retreat
Sunrise at the Retreat House in the Woods
"Everyone should experience your gentle, informed approach to a meditation wellness retreat with the added benefit of Yoga. I have never been as fully aware of my body, not the balance brought on by the Yoga experience of body and mind. The introduction to a consistent body cleanse has given me new knowledge for sustainable better health. Thank you for assisting me in setting new goals! Blessings and a big hug!"
Margaret Arthur, 80 year old amazing woman!
"Powerful tools are delivered to the participant leading to an eye-opening and mind-opening experience. A wealth of information is delivered in a fluid and easy to understand manner. Sophie is truly invested in assisting you to acheive your goals. I can't wait to attend her next retreat!"
Valerie Arthur (Margaret's daughter), Lawyer and great Sous Chef!
"Being new to the study and lifestyle, this retreat has helped me learn so much. The information was presented in such an easy to understand way with hands on activities and open discussion. I feel more empowered about taking control of my own physical and spiritual health through this practice - food, yoga, meditation - and how it is all related! Sophie is such a warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable teacher. I look forward to my continued journey to lifelong health and self-love!"

"I attended Sophie's panchakarma retreat. Sophie has a soft and energizing way of teaching. She is an excellent planner and the weekend had a great balance of information, down time, and opportunity for questions and integration. I walked away with knowledge that truly shifted me, and a body that felt rejuvenated. The great handouts post weekend provide a longterm reference to keep the work fresh. Truly a weekend worth attending."
Romola, Psychiatrist
"The women’s retreat with Sophie was amazing! Sophie is very welcoming, a wealth of information, easy to talk to and very patient. I learned so much about Ayurvedic practices from food for my specific body type to self care, breathing and much more. I would certainly say this course was the one that has really changed how I do life. The women were wonderful and the accommodations were awesome, I would recommend this course for anyone who wants or needs to make a change in their routines."
