  • “As we leave this retreat, I feel very appreciative and blessed that we found Amanda and her beautiful, homely and welcoming retreat. The surroundings have an almost magical positive energy. The nature - the birds, plants and water - make this place feel alive with promise. 

    So I feel renewed and grounded. I look forward to bring these memories and experiences I’ve had back with me to my normal life. We will use our breath to connect with each other on a new level and continue to learning new ways to use it. Amanda has a wonderful gift and a ‘knowing’ - and it’s such a special gift for her to share with us.”

  • “It’s hard to explain breathwork but it definitely works. Slowing your breathing puts you in a meditative state, and then all sorts of magical things can happen.

    Amanda’s guidance is key. She really helps you along the journey and helps you get the most from the experience. It’s truly transformative. And the peaceful surroundings, Amanda’s welcoming nature, and the nourishing food all help a great deal also. I highly recommend it”
