Participant Feedback

  • A truly beautiful day of rest and recalibration

    I had the absolute pleasure of attending this retreat with my mum. I gifted it to her for Mother’s Day — and it was everything I had hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived at Kimi Ora, we felt welcomed, held, and gently guided back to ourselves.

    The space was lovely, the schedule flowed with such ease, and each practice offered something special—from the gentle morning yoga and mindful walk to the grounding workshop and deeply restful yin session in the afternoon. There was space to breathe, to be, and to reconnect—both with ourselves and each other.

    Lunch was light, delicious and nourishing, and the free time gave us a chance to enjoy the spa, sauna, pools and soak in the quiet. By the end of the day, my cup was full, my nervous system calm, and my heart so grateful.

    If you’re needing a reset or just a day to come back home to yourself, I couldn’t recommend this retreat more. Thank you Jen and Debbie for creating something so special.
