Wellness Retreats in Ontario: Nature Immersion, Somatic Healing & Nervous System Support

These small-group wellness retreats are held at nature sanctuaries within 1.5 hours of Toronto, Ontario, and are led by a registered physiotherapist and retreat facilitator. Each retreat combines evidence-informed somatic practices — including breathwork, craniosacral therapy, sound healing, and mindful movement — with nature immersion to support nervous system regulation, embodied healing, and authentic human connection. Retreats are intentionally small to preserve intimacy and depth.

Kind words about the Retreats!

“I just recently went to Mel’s retreat at Sugar Ridge and it was one of the absolute best experiences I’ve ever had. Mel has such an amazing way to make you feel at one with nature and helps you feel comfortable to rest and do amazing activities (i.e soundbath, mindful movement, meditation, etc.) Thank you Mel for doing this, one of the best experiences of my life”

“I’ve had a lot of firsts with Mel and Terra 244. My first soundbath, first retreat, first breathwork class… honestly, the list keeps growing. I went in not really knowing what to expect...and somehow left wondering why I hadn’t tried any of this sooner.

Mel has this incredible way of making people feel comfortable right away. She creates a space where you can actually relax and lean into the experience without feeling self-conscious”

Nicole B

“I have attended two of Mel’s retreats & I plan to attend more! I love doing all the classes especially the breathwork, ELDOA & soundbath. I felt incredibly comfortable & at ease!

Mel cares so much about everyone’s experience & there is such a lovely feeling of community in the groups!

The food was also such a highlight!
