With nearly 15 years of dedicated practice and study, Laura’s teaching blends the timeless wisdom of yoga with modern insights into female health, hormones, and wellness, as well as the dynamic energy of surf culture.

Your Surf Coach
Speaks English, French, Spanish, Portugnol und ich lerne Deutsch!
Emma’s lifelong passion for nature began in the French Alps and deepened when she moved to Australia and discovered surfing. After learning to surf in 2018, she recognised the unique challenges adult women face and realised that a holistic approach—combining mindset, ocean awareness, and body care—could boost confidence and performance.
Inspired by her own journey, Emma created Lunawave, a space she wished existed when she first started surfing. Certified by the International Surfing Association and trained in mobility and yoga, Emma has honed her skills in Australia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Portugal. At Lunawave, she combines her love for surfing with wellness, crafting a supportive environment focused on rest, nourishment, and self-respect. Her mission is to empower women to strengthen their connection with the ocean—and themselves—while fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
As an environmental scientist, Emma understands the importance of sustainability in and out of the ocean. She is dedicated to creating a sustainable retreat and educating guests on respecting the environment and how to protect it. From mindful resource use to eco-friendly practices, Emma incorporates sustainability into every aspect of Lunawave Retreat
Details of this retreat
Nestled in the majestic French Alps, our Snow Retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body, and immerse yourself in the magic of the winter season. Set in a classic, charming chalet near Chamonix—at the foot of Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest and most breathtaking peak—you’ll find a sanctuary for restoration, adventure, and presence. Chamonix, the birthplace of modern mountaineering, is renowned for its dramatic alpine scenery, legendary slopes, and amazing freeride terrain, making this retreat a once-in-a-lifetime escape.
Savour nourishing home-cooked meals, unwind in the outdoor jacuzzi with sweeping mountain views, or take the Aiguille du Midi cable car up to 3,842m for awe-inspiring panoramic views. Wander the charming alpine town with its cafés, boutiques, and historic alpine charm.
This retreat is more than a mountain getaway—it’s a journey to reconnect with nature, from the crisp alpine air to the quiet strength you feel gliding across fresh snow. Explore skiing or snowboarding alongside holistic practices supporting women’s health, combining movement, rest, and nourishment.
Join us in Chamonix to embrace winter’s beauty, experience centuries of alpine adventure, and rediscover your connection to yourself and the natural world.
