Bring World-Class Wellness Expertise to Your Retreat
Transform any destination into a sanctuary of strength, renewal, and sustainable change with 40 years of proven movement expertise
Whether you're planning an intimate celebration in the Mediterranean, a corporate retreat in Costa Rica, or a milestone journey anywhere in the world, expert wellness instruction elevates the entire experience. With four decades of teaching excellence and mastery across multiple disciplines—Pilates, yoga, mobility stretch, meditation, dance, and behavioral change—I partner with luxury travel advisors and discerning clients to create transformational wellness programming that meets people exactly where they are.

The Difference Is in the Depth
The average personal trainer burns out after 12-months, and most yoga instructors by 4-years. Most traveling wellness or resort instructors offer yoga and maybe meditation. Some add Pilates. Very few bring behavioral change specialization, the comprehensive expertise, cultural sensitivity, and proven track record that comes from 40 years in the field.
What sets this apart:
Four Decades of Professional Expertise Since 1986, I have taught thousands of students—from complete beginners to professional dancers and athletes, from corporate executives to new mothers recovering post-pregnancy. This isn't a side career or an Instagram opportunity. This is my life's work.
True Multi-Discipline Mastery
Certified Personal Trainer & Sports Conditioning Coach
Pilates mat instruction (traditional mat + back-healthy adaptations) ACE Certified
Yoga (YogaRenew 200 hr)
Mobility & stretch (Stretch to Win certified)
Mindfulness meditation (regular group facilitator)
Behavioral Change Specialist (habit formation science)
Cultural dance (25+ years professional performance background)
Real-World Adaptability I've worked with bodies of every age, ability, and limitation. Sciatica. Post-surgical recovery. Pregnancy and postpartum. Chronic pain. High-level athletes. Complete beginners. Everyone gets what they need—challenge without injury, progress without pressure.
Cultural Fluency That Matters With 25+ years as a professional cultural dance artist and having led international retreats across Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, and Central America, I understand how to honor local customs while creating transformational experiences. Your clients aren't just getting exercise—they're getting someone who knows how to hold space across cultures.
The Science + The Heart I combine evidence-based practices with genuine warmth. My students describe me as knowledgeable, encouraging, funny, and deeply present. I educate as I guide—explaining the "why" behind movements, empowering people to become stewards of their own wellness long after the retreat ends.

Let's discuss how we can collaborate to give your clients an unforgettable wellness experience.
Transformation in Their Own Words
F.A.Q.
-
Yes! While I have deep cultural expertise in Morocco, Tunisia, and East Africa (which I offer through my Curated Journeys experiences), I provide Bespoke Wellness instruction anywhere in the world. I partner with your travel advisor to seamlessly integrate wellness programming into any retreat you're planning.
-
No—that's travel advisor expertise! I focus on what I do best (wellness instruction and program design) while you or your travel advisor handles destination logistics, accommodations, excursions, and cultural programming. We collaborate to ensure everything flows beautifully.
-
This is my specialty. I've spent 40 years teaching bodies of every ability—from complete beginners to professional dancers. Every session includes modifications and options so everyone feels challenged but never overwhelmed or left behind.
-
Absolutely. Pre/post pregnancy, injury recovery, chronic pain, high performance training, stress management, menopause support—I adapt programming to meet your group's specific needs. The Bespoke Wellness tier (Tier 3) offers the highest level of customization.
-
I work with injuries and limitations every single day in my regular classes. I'll modify movements, offer alternatives, and ensure everyone participates safely and effectively. Safety is always the priority.
-
I teach in English, but I have cultural fluency and sensitivity working with international groups. I've worked extensively across Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian, and East African cultures and understand how to create inclusive, respectful spaces.
-
I carry professional liability insurance and have backup plans in place. In the unlikely event of illness or emergency, I maintain a network of trusted wellness professionals who can step in, or we'll work with you on rescheduling or refunds according to the terms in our agreement.
-
Yes! Seven days is standard, but I can create programming for weekend intensives (3-4 days) or extended experiences (10-14 days). Pricing scales accordingly.
-
For corporate retreats specifically, I can offer pre-retreat virtual sessions or post-retreat follow-up programming to extend the impact. However, my primary offering is in-person instruction—that's where transformation really happens.
You Don't Need Fixing. You Need Tools.
After 40 years in this field, here's what I know for certain: We are all more capable than we think.
We're capable of healing. Of growth. Of joy. Of transformation—even when experts tell us otherwise, even when we've tried before and struggled, even when life feels overwhelming.
Transformation doesn't require perfection. It requires showing up.
I've learned this through my own journey—facing career-ending injury and discovering how to heal through adapted movement. Surviving single motherhood while teaching myself that self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. Navigating health challenges that forced me to become my own advocate and detective.
But I've also learned it by watching and helping thousands of people over four decades discover their own strength. The complete beginner who thought they were "too old" or "too out of shape." The high-performer who finally learned that rest is productive. The person who was scheduled for surgery who was able to cancel that appointment. The person in chronic pain who found freedom through movement they never thought possible.
Here's the truth: you already have everything you need. You just need the right tools, support, and someone who truly gets it.
Whether you're gathering friends to celebrate life's beautiful milestones—a 50th birthday, a pre-wedding adventure, a long-overdue reunion—you deserve more than just a vacation. You deserve deep restoration and genuine connection. Connection to your body through gentle, nurturing movement. Connection to each other through shared experiences that create lasting bonds. When you return home, you'll carry more than memories of stunning sunsets and delicious meals—you'll feel genuinely rested, renewed, and more connected to the friends who matter most. Celebration and meaningful connection aren't opposites—they're perfect partners.
Whether you're investing in your team's resilience and performance, you understand that wellness isn't a perk—it's strategic. The companies creating genuine wellbeing experiences for their people aren't just planning better retreats; they're building more focused, resilient, creative teams. When your creatives and executives learn the science of sustainable habits alongside stress management practices, you're not just checking a box. You're creating lasting culture and competitive advantage.
Whether you're seeking something deeply personal, an experience designed entirely around your specific needs, goals, or healing journey, you deserve expertise that meets you exactly where you are—not where social media says you should be. Whether you're navigating injury recovery, major life transitions, or simply claiming space for your own transformation, highly personalized attention makes all the difference.
That's what I bring to every retreat, every session, every interaction: the understanding that growth happens when we feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen. Not when we're being pushed to perform or made to feel inadequate.
Let's create the space where transformation—joyful, strategic, or deeply personal—can unfold naturally.
