Surrounded by the raw beauty and the vibrant energy of the African bushveld, this retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with Mother Earth and rediscover the strength and wisdom within. Our bespoke approach nurtures your individual healing journey, creating a sacred space for transformation, growth and a deeper connection to the natural world around you.

This unique retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and fully embrace the present moment. We invite you on a unique journey to rediscover balance and harmony.

As a holistic therapist and transformational integration coach, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through deep healing, addressing the root causes of stress, anxiety and trauma. My purpose is to help you reconnect with your inner self, releasing stored pain and opening pathways to peace, healing and abundance.

I believe that true transformation happens when we realign with nature, the most powerful source of connection to the divine. By integrating holistic modalities such as Breathwork, Somatic Healing, Reiki, Sound Healing, Kambo, Aromatherapy and Water therapy, we activate the healing journey from within, allowing the body, mind and spirit to return to balance and harmony.

Through my work, I empower individuals to release past traumas, unravel patterns of stress, and rediscover their natural state of balance. My mission is to help you harness the transformative power of nature, allowing you to access deep healing and move forward with clarity and purpose. Together, we’ll explore the beauty of self-discovery and open the door to the divine, where true abundance awaits.

Embarking on this powerful healing journey is not just a choice but the most profound investment you can make in yourself. Let the wisdom of nature guide you toward unlocking your highest potential and embracing a life of fulfilment and joy.

My journey of self-discovery has spanned 26 years, weaving together the physical, emotional, and spiritual. At 18, my grandmother Fae, a Reiki Master, introduced me to the world of energy healing, awakening a path that has shaped my life ever since. While my mind has always been analytical, my soul is deeply connected to nature, which led me to study Botany and Zoology at university. In blending science and spirituality, I’ve come to understand that everything is energy, and it is this belief that has shaped my spiritual development.

I have spent my working life as a science teacher, traveling and exploring the world at every opportunity. Alongside my career, I’ve cultivated my healing practice, becoming a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner, Sound Healing Level 2 Practitioner and recently a Certified 200-Hour Yoga Teacher. I am passionate about helping others discover the healing methods that resonate with them, believing that aligning the gut, mind, spine and breath unlocks the potential for profound healing and growth.

Despite my travels, the African bush is where I truly feel at home. This sacred place, where my connection to nature runs deep, inspired me to share its beauty with others. This led to the founding of my safari company, Saseka Safaris. My love for the wild, combined with a desire to facilitate healing, has given rise to the Reconnect Retreat. I am excited for you to join us and discover your own ‘beautiful journey'.
