Meet the Retreat Team
Meet Dr. April,
Retreat Leader
As the leader and host of our retreat, Dr. April Blake ND, LM brings over 16 years of experience helping people uncover the root causes of their health concerns and return to vibrant wellness. Trained in naturopathic medicine and midwifery, April weaves together natural therapies, botanical medicine, nutritional guidance, and compassionate listening to support deep, lasting change. Her approach is grounded in the belief that joy is a powerful elixir for healing and that the body has an innate ability to restore itself when given the right tools. At the retreat, April will guide our days with warmth, insight, and a deep commitment to helping each guest leave feeling nourished, empowered, and more connected to their own inner vitality.
Meet Lorna
Lorna is a gifted energy therapist with over a decade of experience helping people release blockages and reconnect with their natural flow of vitality. Trained in Bio-Energy Therapy, Reiki, and holistic massage, she brings a deeply intuitive, compassionate approach to her work—meeting each person exactly where they are.
​
At the retreat, Lorna will guide gentle yet powerful energy sessions designed to help you let go of what’s been weighing you down, restore balance to your mind and body, and open space for fresh clarity and joy to emerge. Her presence is grounding, her touch is healing, and her work often feels like a doorway back to yourself.
Meet Jill
Jill will be guiding us through a beautiful and immersive drum-making ceremony—an experience she learned from a Celtic shaman and now shares with deep reverence and joy. Together, we’ll craft our own sacred drums, each one a unique reflection of its maker, while learning about the traditions and symbolism woven into this ancient art. Jill’s warm spirit and intuitive guidance create a safe, creative space where the process of making becomes as meaningful as the finished drum itself—a keepsake you’ll take home and a powerful tool for your ongoing personal journey. Outside of her work with sacred arts, Jill is also a skilled Biomagnetic Pair therapist, supporting physical and emotional wellbeing through this gentle, holistic practice.
Meet Claire
Claire brings over 25 years of experience as a yoga teacher, healer, and complementary therapist, and has guided students all over the world—from London to Thailand to the Bahamas. Her approach is gentle yet deeply restorative, weaving together yoga, aromatherapy, massage, and mindfulness to help you return to balance in mind, body, and spirit.
At the retreat, Claire will create a safe and nurturing space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore practices that leave you feeling grounded, open, and renewed. Her sessions are accessible for all levels and are designed to give you tools you can carry home—long after our time together ends.
