Jennifer provides such a welcoming, positive attitude when you call her to discuss a retreat. After discussing her approach, and her positive energy, I knew her retreat was the one I was being guided towards. So, I went to her Costa Rica and Tobago yoga retreats. Such fun, mindful, kind people attended and I made so many new, like minded friends. Her yoga expertise and willingness to help with any situation was so welcoming and easy. I'd recommend any retreat Jennifer offers! See you at the next adventure in a foreign land!!!

Morning, just reflecting on the weekend. Some more highlights to add to my list was the chakra clearing/reading. Each one that you did you shared something new. Truly beautiful to listen to you. Calling on our mother lines, being tucked in with the blankets, the little touches of tea, flowers, the deliciously amazing food, the dancing, Cheryl’s beautiful home and retreat space, the platform, the last practice yesterday was one of the best ones I have experienced. It was a perfect combination of breath work and strength work. I felt incredible. Strong, rested and powerful. Thank you and I love you.
– Tammy G
The benefits I received from this retreat were; Unexpectedly calm.. My highlights were: the dance made me feel uninhibited, a childlike feeling I haven't had in a very long time. Focusing on rest for my self-care finally after taking care of so many loved ones. Spending time with myself and my thoughts & feelings I learned that I have been: Emotionally drained, happy and sad. Relaxed and tired. Almost life changing.
– Susan P
Over many years, I continue to benefit from Jennifer’s spiritual retreats and yoga practices. She is positive, caring, compassionate, and highly experienced. My journey to cultivate inner peace has been influenced by Jen's sharing her knowledge of a variety of different healing modalities. She encourages me to tune into my mind-body connection and my own innate wisdom. Jennifer continues to be a great resource in my life, and I would highly recommend her for retreats, yoga, or therapy sessions.
