Your journey to wild well-being begins here
I was battling with my body image when I got into yoga, going to class to change the way I looked so that I'd feel comfortable in my body.
I didn't know that yoga would completely heal the parts of me that wanted to change the way I look.
After dissociating from my body and living in my head for 22 years, yoga brought me back to life.
Leading me down a path of personal discovery that got me here, today:
Climbing mountains as a celebration of what my body can do, not as punishment for how I look; Meditating as a way of life, not to escape the storm of my mind; and feeling fulfilled by the relationships in my life instead of feeling like an outsider.
All this just from stretching, moving, breathing, and lying still for a while.

Set against the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, Sisterhood by the Sea is a transformative retreat designed to help you heal the sisterhood wound and open your heart to intimate female friendship.

She Climbs Mountains
Adventure into
Well-Being
Have you ever felt at war with your own body? It’s time to stop exercising as punishment for how you look or what you ate and time to climb mountains as a celebration of what your body is capable of.
She Climbs Mountains is a yoga and hiking retreat for women who struggle with their body image to see themselves amongst the beauty of nature that they are so inspired by. To cultivate a deep appreciation for their body and what it's capable of, not just how it looks.
Leave behind self-doubt and return home not only in awe of what your body can do—but with a renewed sense of confidence and a profound love for the person you see in the mirror.
