About this Retreat
I’m Garry and although I’ve been living a primarily raw and plant-based lifestyle for a lot of years now, it hasn’t always been that way!
I began my journey to well-being in 2015 when I finally faced up to the lifestyle of a lot of negative behavioural patterns- consuming junk food, alcohol, smoking and pretty much every vice going, was making me really sick. I was facing a Dr and I knew that it was my lifestyle that got me into trouble so I needed to change before it was too late. I decided to turn to nature and the power of the plants.....
Due to experiencing a huge shift in awareness whilst going on an extended juice fast - I discovered the awesome power of juice cleansing for both the body and mind. This, alongside other practices, has helped radically transform the way I relate to myself and the way I move in the world.
I’m super passionate about helping others progress on their own journey to true optimal health and founded Alkalize Me, a premium quality cold-pressed juice and raw food health and well-being company in London, as a vehicle to do exactly that. We’ve helped hundreds of people to let go of old versions of themselves and discover a wealth of untapped potential within. It’s so beautiful to watch people grow, flourish and create lasting change through the various guided cleanses, wellness practices and collaborations we provide.
I'm super excited to be welcoming you on board this life-changing retreat and sharing all that has helped me grow over the last decade.
Hello beautiful souls!
I’m Stephanie and it was actually through experiencing the power of an extended juice cleanse with Alkalize Me several years ago that helped lead me to where I am today - transitioning from a high-flying career in corporate banking to becoming an intuitive coach, focused on mastering energy, spiritual hypnotherapy and harmonising with the subtle cycles of nature.
Following my big shift, I turned away from city life and now live in harmony with nature in The Alps where I founded my company ‘Energy Of The Day’ and work as an energy healer and spiritual hypnotherapist, empowering my clients to reconnect with their true essence and live authentically.
My mission is to help others tune into their heart, expanding their awareness and encouraging lasting change towards a more conscious, connected and compassionate way of life. I work with love, respect, and empathy, challenging your views to increase self-awareness and connect with nature's cycles.
I am so excited to welcome you on board and I have a variety of technologies and techniques to share and assist you to truly change your game!
Love, love love.
For nearly 20 years I have found a sense of peace and healing through yoga, and I'm humbled to share this ancient and rich philosophy and way of life. By blending a Yogic Lifestyle with an off-grid lifestyle at Cara Creek Eco Lodge, I’ve realised that living Yogically and living sustainably are in fact one in the same. It's wonderful to share the practice in the space so immersed in nature with all those who come on retreat.
My intentions while teaching are to honour the traditions and philosophy of Yoga to the highest respect; to bridge the gap between the traditions and the Western way of life; to hold a safe and open space.
Yoga has allowed me to be a student for life. My practice never stops evolving. I feel grateful for all who have impacted my journey thus far and to those that will come - teachers, Gurus, students, family, friends, and most of all this upward, downward and ever moving beautiful human life experience.
