Testimonials
From a Day Retreat
Absolutely loved the experience. I felt so comfortable the entire time. You are a queen trip mom! Felt part of a family from the moment I arrived. A very new experience for me. Glad I went all in. I got a lot out of it. My heart expanded. A lot of joy and love for me.
I loved your style of teaching! Very expressive. Overall I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to join you and everyone on that little journey. Would absolutely love to join you on the next.
From a Men's Retreat
I wanted to say a massive thank you for the weekend! What you're doing and providing is great! We were very lucky with the group and the epic location. It was amazing to actually been in a place with so many guys actually speaking openly with zero bullshit or masks. Hats off to you for keeping great group control and making everyone feel comfortable. You have an amazing mix of cultural and professional experience and understanding and gave everyone a new and eye opening experience. Every group will be different and require some minor adjustments but don’t loose anything that you feel necessary or part of the experience. I loved every minute of it and certainly need more in my life. The yoga and meditation is not something in my normal daily life but got me in the right zone and certainly gave me heightened and more engaged experience. I have already talked to a few friends and definitely have a group down for session. I am excited and looking forward to our next session.

I felt very safe and thought you facilitated the session so beautifully. Dosage depends on the individual right? I had museum dose for my first time and it was amazing!! Can't wait to go higher!
From Weekend Retreat
Hi Raquel,
​
Many thanks again for the retreat. It was such a great opportunity for learning and expansion, even before the mushroom teacher arrived. I really appreciate the care that you took to support the preparation process. I feel like everything we talked about came into play during the journey, and it was well worth takin gthe time to settle in and come out of the experience.
From Day Retreat for Wellness Practioners
Heartfelt and deep gratitude for an amazing journey on Saturday. You held it so graciously and beautifully, it was so enchanting and delightful. I'm feeling so expansive from the experience and also know that I will approach journeying in a completely different way - so inspired by the ritual and ceremony that was setup. It really supported and gave us the foundation to move through our respective journeys.
So much appreciation for you, the space, and the people you gathered and what you curated.

Money cannot really buy what I experienced on Saturday, loved every minute of it.
From Trauma Sensitive Yoga course
Just want to say a huge thank you for making this available! I couldn't find any trauma informed yoga classes in Hamilton for some time.
I really appreciated all your care and thought that went into designing this course. I still felt supported even though this was online and not in person, even just small things like =saying when she was going to be approaching the camera at end of class. I initially thought okay does that really matter enough to say that?? But then I realised it made me feel respected and cared for - she was saying this so we didn't possibly feel surprised by something unexpected. It built trust that I was in a safe environment.
From Yoga Day Retreat
Just wanted to say thank you so much for today! It was such a warm and inviting environment. I can't remember the last time I felt that.

Also, thank you for the healing prayer for Palestine and all indigenous people.
From a Meet & Greet
Thank you Raquel, You are a wonderful soul, reaching out as you have.
I hope too, that this type of therapy can move forward positively for practitioners like yourself and others, for the benefit of those in need. I’m glad I’m on the path, and that people like you are pushing ahead with this care. I’m grateful for the risks and courage you possess.
I’ll research Embodied Imagination. You too, hit the nail on the head with the protective measures I seem to have developed that have created this separation between mind and body.. I will say, my head is an awful space.. I can only reiterate I’m in such a different place given this modality.. So very grateful for your kind insight.
