What past guests have said
“I have known Laina for many years so I was happy to hear when she launched her life coach career and organizing yoga/wellness retreats. There is no doubt this is what she was meant to do. I had the opportunity to attend the Yoga retreat to Puerto Rico in 2018. I wanted to disconnect, experience someplace new and have the planning be easy. The solution was this retreat. It was full of yoga, meditation, delicious food, excursions, and plenty of relaxation. Puerto Rico exceeded my expectations and it is a place I will never forget. Anyone who knows Laina knows what a caring and thoughtful person she is so it was no surprise to me the level of attention and care she put into this retreat. Beginning with a personal conversation with each person attending the retreat to include time volunteering at a local Boys and Girls Club – and everything in between! I can’t wait for my next retreat!”
Jennifer P. – Boston, Massachusetts
“Laina created a beautiful and unique experience for us on her retreat. She was incredibly thoughtful and even surprised us a few times. The entire time we were supported and guided in a relaxed, caring, classy, conscious way by her. You can feel Laina’s passion and gift lives in sharing these experiences with her. She makes you feel comfortable and nourished to do whatever you need.”
Nikka P. – Los Angeles, California
“This was my first retreat and wow, it exceeded my expectations. It was so nice to show up and everything was taken care of. I needed to relax and get away from my busy life and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Every meal, excursion, transportation and more was planned with care and love. I took every class available – yoga, meditation and the soul workshops. I feel so much better and am much more clear on my life after attending this retreat. I can’t wait to go again!”
