“I felt so nourished both mentally and physically after my retreat! We were able to do as much or as little as we wanted while there. I think I can say on behalf of all those that attended it couldn’t have been any better! Lindsay exudes a calmness and an eagerness for others to thrive wherever they are in life. She was able to give us all tools to use once we returned home to continue living a life of wellness! I highly recommend this retreat and especially this retreat leader, Lindsay!”

“To anyone who is adventurous and wants to reboot themselves you must attend a retreat with Lindsay with Awakened Wellness. I was hesitant to go to my first retreat but let me tell you how I benefited. I learned about myself in a positive way, I relaxed and also had some amazing adventures experiencing the beauty of Costa Rica. I am very excited to attend another retreat with Lindsay because of the wonderful time I had.”
