Our founder
Unwavering from the desire to create a healing space that differs drastically from other wellness or yoga resorts, no external investors or big impersonal work crews were involved keeping the spirit of the space pure. Our founder personally designed and physically built every aspect from the ground up to ensure her passion, attention to detail and loving intention resides throughout the retreat.
Breathe's Zen inspired structures envelop an Eastern spirit that places the importance in organic and raw materials which transforms into harmonious healing energy. With a background career in conventional Western medicine she understands its benefits and role but ironically learned through her own medical difficulties and illness how Western medicine fails people in many ways.
Through alternative methods she was able to heal herself and realized her purpose was to assist others find their healing. Our founder has spent her life traveling and studying with gifted healers around the world, seeking to learn the ways of the ancient traditional healing arts from each culture from the source with the hopes of absorbing the wisdom and techniques to preserve the truth and help others in the future.
