"As women, it's so rare to be held - it's usually us doing the holding. And to see the joy and reverence Laura and Shirlee found doing that for us conjured an image of motherhood in its purest form. Once we grow out of our cuteness, it's so rare to be delighted in, cherished and treasured. Laura and Shirlee did that for us and in doing so, invited our hidden inner children to the forefront, to learn, surrender, play and connect like we did before we collectively decided to hold back. In that week I saw the full spectrum of what it means to be a woman - in myself and in everyone there. I'll be forever grateful to have witnessed 30 women, dance, celebrate, cry and let go all in one experience. I hope you're still doing this in 10 years, because I'll be sending my daughters. XO""

"At the Bloom retreat, Shirlee and Laura provided a safe and immersive environment (and gorgeous!) in which I felt able to open to the potential of what I can become. The experience went well beyond yoga and meditation and touched on the core of who we are and who we want to be. They not only lead by example and with so much wise guidance, but they also have our backs as we journey forward with new dreams and ways of interacting with the world. Thank you both. Namaste."

"Sisterhood , community, acceptance. A safe space for you to be your most authentic self. And support the Shine within us all !! Thank you, Shirlee and Laura Unforgettable memories and moments at Bloom! Lotsa love, xo."

"This retreat was truly life changing. I wasn’t sure what to expect and everything far surpassed any expectations. Laura and Shirlee are amazing, beautiful souls who have such a gift, embody greatness, love, wisdom, clarity. They held space for every one of us at the retreat and you could feel it. I needed to release some deep, deep pain and I could never tap into it and didn’t know how exactly to release it. Well at this retreat, I did just that. I released an insurmountable amount of pain I have been holding onto. Through an amazing and intense breathwork class I was able to free myself of this pain and anger that has been debilitating. And through yoga, sisterhood, guidance, wisdom and fun, I was able to feel good again, feel free, feel happy, rejuvenated. Excited for life. I am forever grateful for this gift from Laura and Shirlee. I am also grateful for each an every amazing woman I met on this retreat. I was not expecting to absolutely, wholeheartedly love each and every one of them. The love and compassion we all shared for one another was indescribable. Every. Single. Woman, Should experience a retreat like this. Bloom retreat was gorgeous, stunning. Perfect. The food was unbelievable. The whole experience was magical ✨"

"Making the time for yourself to attend this retreat is seriously life changing. You will not walk out of this experience the same as when you entered. You will literally transform into a newer version of yourself equipped with a set of tools provided to help you on your path home. The sisterhood bond that is formed among complete strangers is a lifelong gift to yourself all while working through your stuff in a completely safe space."

"This is my second retreat with Shirlee and Laura. Each time I thought I knew why I was going. I thought I knew what I needed...and I did but - in both instances I needed so much more and their retreats deliver. Shirlee and Laura create this magical atmosphere that allows your heart to open and to soften but at the same time, they open your mind to how you are strong and capable and worthy. They inspire self confidence that you can achieve anything. Some have described that spending time with them changes you but I dont think they changed me - I think they just awakened something that was always there inside my heart and I just needed some help noticing it. They taught me that one already has everything one needs - sometimes you just need two beautiful souls who love beyond imagination to lift you up and believe in you. Thank you Shirlee and Laura...I love you both so much. xo"

"What an amazing journey this retreat was. It checked off so many boxes in what I would hope for in a retreat! Laura and Shirlee are beautiful facilitators and guides, and worked very well together. They curated a loving and well balanced itinerary. Provided moving experiences for our personal and spiritual growth, on so many levels! Ultimately connecting many sweet soul sisters to each other. This is definitely a redo for me. Love you both so much!"

"This was one of the best experiences. Laura and Shirley's energy is amazing. Words can not do justice for what I was able to come away with. Life changing lessons I can incorporate daily. Not to mention 29 of the most amazing women I can now call friends. Something I would have never imagined prior to attending this maxing retreat. Looking forward to future retreats."

My retreat experience with Laura and Shirlee was one of wonder, beauty and decadence. I felt like every little thing was considered and looked after, from food and accommodations to daily programming and ceremony. When I say ceremony, I am referring to, open-ended, all-inclusive, everyone has an entry point type of ceremony. I went on the retreat to “reset” my patterns, and that is exactly what happened. A new version of me has emerged. I now feel much more hope, strength and possibility in life. I am thankful to have been blessed with Laura and Shirlee’s retreat. I am also thankful for the beautiful women that they attracted to participate. We became a cohesive group that hopes to stay connected for years to come. My heart is very happy for all of it.💜

The last 5 days have been life changing. I have so much gratitude for all I have experienced and all the beautiful ladies I have met. I highly recommend going on a retreat with Laura and Shirlee, these ladies are the real deal! They are amazing at holding space for everyone and bringing together the best retreat I have ever been on. My heart is full.

I had no idea what to expect at this retreat. I came on my own, and left with 29 new sisters. My heart was cracked wide open. Only to be filled to the point of bursting. As a newbie to yoga, the experience was incredible. This retreat impacted in in ways I never expected. The location was spectacular, Shirlee and Laura are empowering leaders, who push with ease, to help you move forward in your journey. I am forever grateful for this retreat, the connection I made with myself, and the other women, who I will be forever threaded to.
