A gentle, accessible wellness retreat in Midland, Ontario

Twice a year, I host an intimate wellness retreats are held at the beautiful SugarRidge retreat center in Midland, Ontario. These gatherings are designed to be affordable, flexible, and deeply supportive, creating space for rest, regulation, and reconnection—without pressure or overwhelm.

The intention is simple: to make wellness accessible for people who feel called to slow down, reset, or reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.

The Philosophy

These retreats are built around choice, not expectation.

There is a full, thoughtfully curated schedule each day—but nothing is mandatory. You are invited to participate in as much or as little as feels right for you.

This approach supports:

• nervous system safety

• personal autonomy

• rest without guilt

• deeper self-trust & listening

Whether you spend your time in every session or quietly resting in nature, you are fully welcome.
