Meet Your Retreat Leaders
Ann-Sophie (MD, C-IAYT) will be your doctor during this holistic healing retreat. She will support you with any medical questions and challenges, design your personal yoga therapy program, and offer some group practices and lectures. You will also have the opportunity to work more closely with her during an additional homeopathy consultation.
Anneke Louise (MSc, C-IAYT) is here to support you with all things “rebalancing.” Her extensive professional, yogic, and experiential knowledge of stress, burnout, trauma, and purification will help guide you to a more profound sense of safety and balance within yourself. She will design your personalized retreat practice program, guide and coach you with relevant practices throughout the week, and support your detox program. You can also work with her more extensively in trauma therapy sessions.
Additional Retreat Offerings
Additional private sessions (such as classical homeopathy, trauma therapy, and gentle massage) will be available and can be booked for an extra charge.
Options include:
- Classical Homeopathy Consultations: You can address any health challenges during an in-depth intake with Ann-Sophie. Chronic diseases, psycho-somatic issues, states of deep stress or exhaustion, and regular medication are only a few of her areas of expertise.
- Trauma Therapy: As an adept of Somatic Experiencing (SE), Anneke offers body-oriented deep listening therapy sessions to support the healing of trauma and other stress disorders.
- Detox Massages: A massage is a gentle gift to yourself, an opportunity to press pause and let go. Aurelie’s signature stomach, head, and full body massages are on the menu for you.
- Breathwork: Support release and meet deeper parts of yourself through working with the breath.
- And more!
