  • I Rediscovered My Creativity and Confidence -"At the Heart n Soul Retreat, I rediscovered my passion for art. Surrounded by support and encouragement, my creativity began to flow again. By focusing on what I love, I felt a deep sense of alignment and confidence. This journey has been truly transformative, and I’m already committed to joining the Bali retreat next year.

  • I Received a Call that Changed my Life - The March ’25 retreat was the first time I truly put myself first, even with a moonboot and crutches, nothing was going to stop me. After six busy and demanding years, I found the calm, clarity, and transformation I was searching for. I’ve learnt to love and celebrate myself, and to keep stepping into the discomfort because that’s where the magic happens. Heart n Soul Retreats has blessed me more than I can express, and I’m so excited to join Bali in Sept ’26!"

  • Held in Warm and Love -"On my first retreat, I felt completely held in warmth and love. Each day I grew stronger and more confident, gently releasing what no longer served me. I left uplifted and inspired — and I’ve already booked my next retreat in Bali.”

  • A Deep Sense of Sisterhood and Connection -"At the retreat, I felt a deep sense of sisterhood and connection to the Divine feminine. It brought me inner peace and acceptance, allowing me to embrace who I truly am with gratitude. And I especially enjoyed spending time in the pool and sauna, which added to the overall relaxation and rejuvenation of the experience."

    Sally Whitaker from Aotearoa

  • From Reservation to Inner Power -“Through the embodiment practices at the Heart n Soul Retreat, I overcame barriers of reservation and old thought patterns, shaking off deep emotional blocks and reconnecting with my intuition and natural sense of power.”

    Gabriele Woest from Germany

  • "Breath work & Femininity -“The retreat provided me with an immense sense of strength and freedom. The breathwork practices were incredibly impactful, guiding me to a deeper connection with my inner self. Most notably, I experienced a powerful realisation and celebration of my femininity. This journey allowed me to fully embrace and honor my feminine essence, leaving me feeling renewed and empowered.”

    Lisa from Aotearoa

  • A Transformation that Lasts - "The Heart n Soul Retreat has been the most amazing transformation of my life. I feel like my jigsaw puzzle is now complete - with solid foundations and everything I need to fulfil whatever I desire in life without doubt. One year on, the transformation hasn’t faded - it’s flourished. My confidence and clarity continue to grow, turning that initial change into a lasting journey. Life feels more aligned, fulfilling, and connected every day, and the lifetime sisterhood I gained is a gift beyond words.

    Carolyn Blackmore from Aotearoa

  • "It is so powerful this transformation. My cells are dancing all through my body. I feel my own radiance and remind myself to go gentle and slow. My connection with hubby took us to the first night we met. That's my truth. I am so forever grateful I have received my healing and ready to take it out into the wold."

    Maree Torstonson from Brisbane

  • The Tender Parts of me Found the Courage to Heal - "I feel like the most tender parts of me found the courage to be healed, truly an incredibly transformational experience. Such an honour to be a part of, especially witnessing my sisterhoods healing journeys, that will stay with me forever - a mere thank you, simply does not seem enough. I am whole again."

  • I Felt Safe to Truly Express Myself - “I had my first embodiment movement experience,and it was so great! Samala is an incredible facilitator, and I felt safe and able to express myself without feeling any judgment, this is a big deal as I am normally very self conscious when it comes to moving my body. Music was excellent, and I can’t wait for her next retreat offering.”

    Alice Brooking from Aotearoa

  • "I felt a deep sense of acceptance and accomplishment during the retreat. The food was exceptional—both delicious and detoxifying, greatly enhancing my experience. It was a transformative journey that truly nurtured my well-being."

    Ange from Aotearoa

  • A Life-Changing Experience - “I came to the retreat feeling stuck, stressed, and disconnected from my body and mind. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and accepted. The stunning natural surroundings, nourishing food, and nurturing facilitators created the perfect environment for me to unwind and recharge. The workshops helped me understand my false beliefs and reconnect with my body, while the sound journey was a true highlight. With the support of the women around me, I left with soaring energy, a renewed outlook, and a deep sense of alignment. Thank you, Samala, for an unforgettable and life-changing experience

    Vicky Thomson from Aotearoa

  • “I have attended a couple of the somatic dances at Heart N Soul Retreats and absolutely love the space, energy and experience. Samala is so welcoming and warm. I totally recommend and I am already looking forward to the next session. Thank you Samala”

    Patrice Murdoch

  • Truly Transformational -The Heart n Soul Retreat was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With Samala’s wisdom, care, and love, I connected with myself on every level. The retreat offered a sacred space to slow down, breathe, and rediscover my inner balance. Every moment felt intentional and deeply nourishing, leaving me lighter, inspired, and more aligned with who I am. Samala’s presence is extraordinary — she holds space in such a gentle yet powerful way that makes the whole journey truly transformative
