MEET THE HOSTS

Meet Julia

Hi, I’m Julia. I’m a 500-hour certified yoga instructor, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), and certified Reiki practitioner.

Since 2018, I’ve been guiding students through intentional practices that blend movement, breathwork, restorative stillness, and nervous system support. Over the years, my work has expanded to include functional nutrition and energy healing, which allows me to support women in a more whole-body way.

My approach is rooted in the belief that true wellness comes from feeling more connected to yourself, physically, mentally, and internally. Through yoga, functional nutrition, and Reiki, I help women support their energy, hormones, digestion, and overall sense of balance in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and give yourself space to rest, reset, and feel cared for. Through yoga, nourishing food, restorative practices, and a deeply supportive environment, you’ll be guided back to yourself. You’ll leave feeling replenished, grounded, and more connected to the calm, radiant version of you that’s been there all along.

Meet Emmalyn

Hi, I’m Emmalyn. I’m a licensed massage therapist, artist, and creative facilitator with a background in holistic wellness, bodywork, and fine art.

I became licensed in massage therapy in 2019, where I began studying anatomy, nervous system regulation, movement, and integrative healing practices. My work has always been rooted in the connection between the body and emotional well-being, helping others slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel more grounded through intentional touch and restorative practices.

In 2023, I studied Fine Art & Design, where I explored a wide range of creative mediums including painting, ceramics, installation, and mixed media. My artistic practice focuses heavily on self-expression, embodiment, introspection, and the relationship between the human body and the natural world.

Through both art and bodywork, I believe healing and creativity are deeply intertwined. My hope is that you leave feeling more grounded, inspired, and deeply cared for.
