About this Retreat
I’m Laura—a passionate massage instructor and the founder of Solstice, where I empower Spa Stews and wellness professionals to thrive in their yachting careers without sacrificing their well-being.
After years of working in the yachting industry and experiencing firsthand the physical demands of giving 10+ massages a day, I realized that traditional techniques weren’t designed to protect the therapist. This led me to create the Deep Release Massage—a unique technique that not only delivers exceptional results for clients but also prioritizes the health and longevity of the massage therapist.
With an extensive background in wellness, bodywork, and hospitality, I bring both heart and technical expertise to every retreat I lead. My teaching style is hands-on, compassionate, and tailored to your needs—whether you're a seasoned Spa Stew looking to elevate your skills or a service professional ready to step confidently into a new role.
Through my accredited Deep Release Massage Course & Retreat, I’ve helped dozens of women transform their careers, strengthen their confidence, and join a supportive community of like-minded professionals.
When I’m not teaching, you can find me planning immersive retreats in stunning locations, connecting with inspiring women in yachting, and creating resources that help you succeed.
Ready to unlock your potential? Let’s do it together.
Yoga to me is a way to connect deeply with each other through a shared practice, to ground and give yourself the time to quieten and disconnect from the noise of our everyday lives.
I love to share this idea to give your mind, your physical body and spirit a chance to detach from our busy and often complicated minds. To teach the true essence of yoga as we move into our bodies, using our breath to cleanse and purify. Exploring and sharing with you the idea that yoga is so much more than simply a physical practice.
My name is Charlotte and I have been practicing yoga for over six years. Graduating as a Hatha yoga teacher in Amorgos, Greece in 2021. In my self practice I like to explore the branches of vinyasa and yin. When it comes to teaching, I love to adapt the practice to suit the feeling and energy of the class in that very moment.
Through practice, learning and knowing we are capable of so much more than we truly know, whilst honoring our individual bodies.
Walking away from the mat feeling lighter… clearer… and cleansed and hopefully taking the teachings of the true essence of yoga into our daily lives and sharing it with the world.
