Testimonials

Rachel, your retreat was absolutely everything my mind & soul needed. So many real-life strategies and tactics you provided to start implementing into my daily life (even just little things). Even just being more aware of the demands of motherhood knowing that it is necessary to take time to fill my cup (not selfish). You have such a gift! Seeing it all in this magical space was beautiful. Keep sharing your light! "(S. B., day retreat guest July, 2024).

“RAES Wellness- Nourished Mom Day Retreat was such a rejuvenating experience that definitely exceeded my expectations. Rachel was so welcoming, kind, professional and she knew exactly what to say to ensure those who attended felt safe, heard and comfortable.” (anonymous guest, day retreat July 2024).

“I came to this experience with the mindset of a burnt out stay-at-home mom. This retreat was just what I needed to shift my mindset in my everyday life. It was so wonderful to come together with other like minded women, to feel supported and encouraged in a safe place. A take away from this experience that stands out to me is learning about the concept of energy. Including regulating my own energy and how powerful it can be in my daily life. Overall, I would 100% recommend attending this retreat, you will leave feeling refreshed. It was exactly the reset I needed.” (L.P., Day Retreat guest July, 2024)

I had the privilege of attending Rachel’s Nourished Moms Wellness Retreat on August 21st. It was such an excellent experience that I would highly recommend her retreats. Rachel is truly in her element for providing warmth, compassion and a supportive atmosphere for women to be open and nourished. Rachel over-delivers with a gorgeous and peaceful venue that you can’t help but be in awe. All of the beautiful touches that she planned in creating a calming and peaceful environment demonstrates her positive energy and commitment to her practice. 

Rachel is genuine in providing valuable insight and knowledge that she has gained through her courses, life coaching, professional experience and from personal experience. She is authentic and genuine in sharing her passion for helping women be at their best holistically for themselves and their families.  I learned many practical skills during the retreat from Rachel for mindfulness, somatic practice and applying neuroscience. 

Women and especially Moms carry a lot of responsibilities, burdens, worries and are often very hard on themselves. Rachel’s retreat is valuable in empowering women to take time for themselves; to honour their needs, receive nourishment and develop insight that can positively impact families.  (R.H., Day Retreat guest August, 2024)

Thank you, Rachel, for yet another incredible experience! Just like the last retreat, the space was clean, serene, and inviting with a wonderful scent that sets the perfect mood right from the moment you walk in. It’s clear that you’ve put a lot of thought into creating a truly immersive atmosphere. I felt myself relax as soon as we arrived.

I really appreciate how the retreat has a structured flow while still allowing for open sharing and discussion. Whether it’s reflecting on the cards we pulled and their meanings, insights from meditation or our experiences after breath work, there's always space for meaningful conversation. The card ritual at the beginning is a brilliant way to foster vulnerability and establish a sense of safety for everyone.

I also love that we get to spend time both in the cottage and outside in nature. There's nothing quite like the combination of fresh air and water to help reconnect with oneself. I especially enjoyed the sunset we were able to take in while being our true authentic selves at the beach.

You truly have a gift. It's amazing how you brought together two completely different groups of women and created the same magical experience for all of us. (P.J., Overnight Retreat *recurring guest September, 2024)
