Retreat Overview

Retreat Description

 A fully immersive retreat experience designed to take corporate teams and leaders out of their environment and into a profound process of reset, regulation, and expansion.

Often held in peaceful environments such as the Alps, seaside locations, and desert settings, allowing participants to disconnect from overstimulation and reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and restorative way. The retreat uses the combined power of sound, nervous system science, somatic practice, breathwork, Qigong, and group connection to create a transformation that a single session simply cannot achieve.

The retreat is structured as a progressive journey — each session builds on the last, taking participants from surface-level stress relief into deep nervous system rewiring and expanded leadership capacity. Sessions draw from the registered Nervous system regulation Ninja experience to establish the cognitive framework, somatic and breathwork practices to release what the body has been holding, guided group meditations to cultivate collective stillness, and sound journeys — including the signature Aphrodite floating sound bath where a pool is available — to integrate every layer of the work. Therapeutic percussion, crystal bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, gong, voice toning, and humming are woven throughout the days, each instrument carefully sequenced for the specific moment and intention of the session.

Group sharing circles are embedded at key transition points across the retreat — structured spaces where participants reflect on their experience, speak what has surfaced, and witness each other's transformation. These moments of collective meditation and shared reflection create a depth of team connection that no team-building exercise can replicate.

The 3-day format dismantles old patterns, expands nervous system capacity, and helps participants return to their lives and leadership as genuinely re-energized people.

About the Host

Over 10 years as a leadership coach and facilitator with multinationals and corporations, I know firsthand what stress does to people and how to help them genuinely reset. I'm a Sound Therapist accredited by the British Academy of Sound Therapy and a certified Polyvagal Theory Practitioner. I love designing sound experiences that dissolve stress, restore calm, and unlock creative thinking. I guide groups through sound and meditation to regulate their nervous system, improve mental clarity, and leave feeling lighter and more present. I bring the credibility of a corporate insider, the warmth of a human-centred practitioner, and the science of nervous system regulation into one experience.
