Candie from Heartfelt sounds will then guide you through a beautiful sound bath. Where you can lay down, get super comfy and let intentional sounds wash over and around you.

Testimonials
Elena

I have now attended two of Jo's retreats. Jo does an extremely good job at holding a safe space for mamas not only to rest and restore, but also to reflect and share our experiences, worries and joys of being a mother.

I loved the embodied flows and the perfectly curated music. I definitely recommend if you want to take some special time for yourself, deeply rest, connect and feel seen.

Jasmine

A beautiful day that I found very mindful and rejuvenating. I'll definitely be going again!

Emily

A really considered yoga session. Jo created a really safe space for us to practice and brought insight and discovery to the class. I left feeling calm & restored. Thank you Jo!!

Annie

This session was just what I needed. As a mother you never get to spend down time actually relaxing; this 3 hours allowed me to decompress, stretch, relax and meditate. Jo has a really calm demeanor and puts you at ease from the moment you enter the studio space.

Priscila

The three hours Mamas Afternoon Retreat with Jo was an absolute treat to the soul. I felt I’ve reconnected important parts of myself and - as a very tired and “in love” mama - I could dedicate some time just for me.
The restorative moves Jo guided us through were delicate and effective at the same time. Her sentences and words, in her smooth voice, were spot on. Guidance was super gentle, being a bit of a physical activity combined with a soothing body & mind work.

Thank you Jo for your warm personality. Your ability to share your depth of knowledge and experience has given me a mega boost of confidence being a total novice twelve months ago!
