finding freedom retreat
Crete, 14-19 June 2026
This retreat is designed to shift your perspective and allow you to see clearly.
Who have you been being?
What mechanisms are at play that keep you stuck in a life so much smaller than you are destined for?
Using powerful psychodynamic depth coaching methods, as well as somatic practices, we will enter a beautiful container of re-wiring and enlivening the magic of who you really are.
When we commit to the practices of yoga, mediation and coaching - we are recognising that the survival mechanism of the mind is keeping us limited, and we are answering the call to honour our true potential.
If you are someone who feels the pull to live more, connect deeply, embody warmth and tenderness, become present, live into your powerful potential… then this retreat is for you.
what happens on finding freedom retreat?
This isn’t your average yoga retreat
A 6 day retreat carefully designed to ground your nervous system into softness and safety…
Thus allowing you to step into deep and transformational practices…
Igniting the essence of your unique gifts and power.
This is a yoga and coaching retreat - above and beyond anything I have offered before.
I will be sharing with you profound philosophies and practices I have used personally and trained in to shift my reality from a place of feeling unworthy, insecure and stuck…
To absolutely in love with life and unstoppable in my commitment to allowing myself to be - expanding freedom each day.

This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
Break free from old cycles of worry, tension, self-sabotage, perfectionism, or people-pleasing
Heal patterns that come from childhood or past relationships
Stop pretending and finally feel authentic in how you live, love, and lead
Connect with your body and breath as sources of wisdom, not something to override
Reclaim your emotional depth, rather than fear or suppress it
Experience transformation that is not just intellectual—but felt, lived, and integrated
what you’ll experience…
This retreat is not unlike 1:1 coaching, in that we will use similar tools to create meaningful shifts in your mind and body, but on Finding Freedom retreat, we get to work in person and as a group. The container is like a sanctuary - a private and secluded villa to hold us in the process of mind and body work. There is a significant focus on your nervous system and releasing stuck, frozen tension from the body.
Shadow work - Gently making the unconscious conscious
Creative, intuitive dialogue - Exploring what’s alive in you now
Yoga, Breath + somatic practices - Reconnecting to the information and wisdom in the body, building strength, flexibility and more capacity for life
Emotional wisdom - Feeling fully, without judgment
Energetic shifts - Moving through what’s stuck, blocked, or repressed
Integration - The retreat initiates or deepens your process, but after the retreat ends… the integration process begins.
You won’t be given a formula or a fix.
You’ll be met—honestly, lovingly, and powerfully—as you are.
I am not my past, I am what I choose to become.
- Carl Jung
your facilitator
I am a senior and educational standard yoga teacher with thousands of hours of training and teaching behind me, and an accredited psychodynamic therapeutic coach.
I am a space holder for those who feel trapped, and I facilitate the journey back to empowerment and aliveness.
When I committed to deep coaching work, layered with yoga and somatic practices, real transformation began. I am dedicated to sharing these powerful practices with you - if you are ready, I am here.
Let’s have some fun
There will be deep work, you will be invited into speaking truth and being vulnerable… but there will also be much space and time to have fun and relax into our beautiful setting. The private villa and beach have kayaks and paddle-boards, there’s a tennis court and massages can be arranged on request.
For the keen yogis, we will have a workshop to play with challenged postures, practice transitions and generally play in our bodies!
Location
Nested in the sand dunes in one of the most unspoiled and secluded Cretan seaside landscapes this beachfront luxury and earth-sheltered villa blends perfectly with the environment.
Located just a few steps from the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea the beach house offers breathtaking and undisturbed views of the ocean and the horizon.
Follow the winding road from the entrance of the estate through the old Olive grove, pass by the Chapel dedicated to Saint Demitrios and the traditional Cretan cookery. Reach the edge of the steep hill and take a moment to enjoy the colours of the reef and the sandy beach as you start to discover the beauty of this hidden paradise.
Everywhere you look, natural colours, stone and wood elements blend together to create a beach house that exudes an unmistakable charm.
The clarity of the sky, together with the absence of lights in the surrounding area provides the most amazing night sky.
