my time spent with amazing women at this retreat still has me at an awe moment. I was guided here by guides beyond this realm. I truly believe that. I had been in a fog for a yr. Janet and her awesome team helped me with every aspect of my being. It was my first time to ever take time for me. They gave me a gift of a lifetime. I learned how to be alone but not lonely. and I loved it. I was able to heal and awaken from my fog through: Magical morning guided walk and meditation with Jill. Jill talked me through intentionally feeling the breeze, being one with the sand softly massaging my feet and breathing as I make my intentions known. Giving the wind permission to take away my stress and wash it away with the most powerful yet gentle moana. Jill taught me to ask for permission from the powerful nature of water. she taught a very good lesson of knocking before I come in. We talked about how to stay balanced and true to oneself. Gayle was amazing and I'm so thankful for her session. she taught me how to channel my energy and wisdom on a daily basis. she helped me dig deep and remember where I come from and realize that I have what I'm looking for because it flows through me. Melissa- I was so excited to meet and work with Melissa. As a black woman, it is rare find someone who looks like you when on a personal journey. It was so good to have someone who was able to truly share and understand the same lived spaces of family, work, heavy burden of current political climate and other stresses when navigating this world as black woman. Melissa was funny and shared with me tools on how to distress and take care of myself before others. I learned how to breathe intentionally to relieve stress. she taught me short meditation chants that I can use throughout my day. Donza- wow! what can I say. Donza is a master with her craft. Healing of mind and body at the same time was god sent. She helped me work through my long held trauma and blockage that had manifested into my body and mind. Donza was able to work on both. She taught me how to identify and check my ego and spirit. She helped me overcome trigger words that I did not know I carried all this time. She talked me through on watering myself before I do it to others. To stop and an always who is showing up when I'm faced with challenging issues. Danielle R- Yoga has never been my thing you might say. As a powerlifter being flexible is hard. :) Danielle has changed that thought process. she spent time and worked with me on how to move and what to work on in order to get better and how yoga will enhance my power lifting. I'm so excited that I plan on joining a studio and researching to making sure they offer what Danielle was able to offer me. 6.Janet- Made me feel comfortable and assured. Thank you for hearing me without me talking. I'm thankful for your intuition. Thank you for your guidance in helping me tap into my spiritual being. You are truly magical. Lila-Thank you for reassuring me that what I was searching for and the work and effort I put in while on my retreat was working. Your session brought...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have so many great things to say about the women who supported me in my journey at Maui Healing Retreat! I was at a crossroads in my life after a series of difficult events and was looking to recharge, reflect and heal to be ready for the next chapter of life. I had no idea until I felt called to go to Maui - that the island in itself, is basically a healing vortex. Pair that with this talented group of healers and there is no way you won't leave feeling refreshed. I am simply a new person post-retreat! When I spoke to Kalyani - she helped me build out a custom experience that aligned with what I needed most. When I arrived in Maui, the team worked closely together to support and guide me for the duration of my retreat. Every single practitioner is incredibly, kind, genuine and down to earth and incredibly gifted. I could not have asked for a better experience! Below are the sessions that were incorporated into my 4 day retreat and my high level overview on each session. Grounding Ritual (Kalyani & Kecia): This was a wonderful welcome session held at a sacred site. It really helped center and ground me arriving to Mother Maui and setting intentions with her before the retreat! Kitchari cleanse / consult (Danielle): I did a 3-day Kitchari cleanse, which Danielle prepared for me and coached me on. I would highly recommend this cleanse - I felt amazing and it was a good kickstart into healthier eating habits post-retreat. Gemcomb Healing / Brave True You Chakra reading (Danielle): OK this was one of my favorite sessions. Danielle is incredibly gifted in intuitive body reading and healing. I learned SO much about my inner self and body based on this session. Shamanic Clearing, Balancing, Illumination (Kalyani): This session brought some powerful clarity to some emotions I was burying. There was a lot about this that is too personal and long to share, but it was a truly transformative session that helped me release and let go of energies that were no longer serving me. Soul Spirit Adventure (Natalie): My inner child loved this experience with Natalie - a barefoot forest walk! It was beautiful and fun and reminded me that I need to make more time to have fun in nature. Health Coaching (Natalie): This was a pragmatic strategy session regarding my health habits. I gained tons of valuable tips from Natalie that have been incorporated into my routine post-retreat. Waterfall Hike (Kecia): This experience was simply magical. A definite must do! Kecia is incredibly intuitive and knows a ton about Hawaiian culture- I learned so much from her and the experience was incredibly healing. Unwind the Soul (Eva): This was a unique reading that was incredibly personal and emotional. I walked away with a profound new outlook on how to interact with myself and now have a deeper inner child practice due to what came out of this session. All and all, these women know their stuff, are incredibly talented and the trip was worth every penny. Thank you Maui Healing Retreat team - I will definitely be back. Y'all are the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI just spent the last four transformative days doing intensive spiritual healing at the Maui Healing Retreat and I walk away feeling so grateful to have met such enlightened healers who were able to tap into things inside of me that have never been tapped into. I am someone who has experienced almost 2 decades of off and on talk therapy and in the last 4 months have worked on deepening my spirituality. My issues are private so I don't want to talk about what I was healing but I wanted to write this review to bring light to the healers for their magical work. This experience was unprecedented and I walk away feeling so much lighter than I have ever felt in my life. I can already tell a big difference in my thought process from them helping me reprogram my beliefs system. These women are true healers with magical gifts sent from God to heal us all. I can't believe in all these years of searching, I found them ALL at MHR! I knew this island was magical!
I stayed at MHR's Honu beach cottage and during the first day, I met with four different healers. Each woman who came to visit me had her unique talent and modality, bestowing upon me the gift of healing.
On the second day, I drove up to Makawao, which is where their healing center is located and met with 4 more spiritual healers. The experience with each of these women, while emotionally painful at times was also fun and exhilarating. No matter what emotional state I was in, I felt completely safe with all of them.
Thank you Lauren, Gayle, Danielle, Lilia, Donza, Ruth, Lilia, Dania and of course, Janet. Janet, your retreat helped me find my way again. Thank you a million times over.
Each of these women did amazing work tapping into my pain and healing it. I could not have asked for a better collection of women to be my healers. In any extraordinary experience, you always have that one person who just blows your mind away. For me, it was Donza. She is a magnificent teacher and utilizes multiple modalities to tap into the reason you are suffering. Then once she puts her hands on you, it's all over. Everyone should experience her "issues in your issues" session. After my session with her, we hugged and I saw this burst of clear bright light shining between us. I've never cried so hard in anyone's arms before. Thank you Donza for creating that magical moment for me.
Thank you to all these beautiful, authentic, talented and compassionate ladies at the Maui Healing Retreat. Because of the loving work from these gifted women, I can go back home with a renewed sense of play, self love and magic flowing through my body,...
