Wonderful Stories

  • "Where do I start..."

    I cant even begin to describe the amazing things Laurina has to offer. I recently attended her Nourish Retreat and was unsure what to expect. I knew it was all about nourishing the body and this, I was ready for.

    I was able to find a deeper connection with myself, my nervous system and feel vibrations and energy that I have never felt before. It was incredible.

    I learnt more about my inner self in these few days than in my lifetime. I came away feeling so many different emotions and can not wait to implement them into daily life and further explore more of the practices she teaches. She has copius amounts of experience, knowledge and love and teaches with pure passion.

    In addition to my journey, I also met the most wonderful women during this time and have to say that this retreat was one of the best things I have done in my life.

    I am extremely excited for further opportunities to work with Laurina and am forever grateful for the gifts she gave me. Honestly, her work is indescribable and all I can say is, put your trust in her and give it a go. I believe it will be the start of something wonderful.

  • "Laurina is amazing!! "

    I first met her when I attended one of her body bliss sessions in Dunedin and then went on to work with her more when I joined her Inner Peace Programme. I learned so much about myself, my nervous system and how to really tune in to my body-to find my inner peace.

    And last week I got to delve even deeper when I attended Laurina's 4 day retreat. Not only was it the most magical setting but Laurina bought a group of woman together and shared so much of herself, her knowledge and she really held space for each and every one of us. It was the most profound experience, I learnt so much about myself, found a deep connection with the most amazing women, felt nourished on many levels and came away with so many amazing tools to move forward with. The whole experience has awakened an enormous curiosity in me and I can't wait to keep working with Laurina, to learn and grow more!

    It's not often we find such treasures in life, but Laurina is most definitely one of them.

  • "Would DEFINITELY recommend this retreat to anyone who is thinking of going! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

    I initially hesitated and wondered if this 4-day retreat was right for me, and I was certainly able to think of several reasons why not to go! But in the end, I realised that these were actually all wonderful reasons TO go!

    By the last day, I had been totally blown away by the whole experience! It was phenomenal! I got to meet the most incredible and wonderful women, and we shared a journey together that was amazing and unforgettable. I came away with practical tools and an understanding of myself that I have been able to transfer and incorporate into my everyday life.

    Laurina was the most amazing facilitator and guide. During the four days, she held space in such a nurturing and open-hearted way. Laurina filled our days with beautiful practices, moments of love and laughter, freedom, and support. The entire experience was nourishing, enriching, and life-changing. I ended up giving myself one of the best gifts in my life, and I am forever grateful that I decided to go!

  • "I appreciate the positive impact it has had on me"


    I had the privilege of participating in Laurina's four-day retreat, and what I initially perceived as a simple escape for yoga and delicious meals turned out to be a transformative experience with a profound impact. Laurna possesses a unique gift for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that promotes deep relaxation. I found myself opening up in ways I had never done before.

    The workshops conducted during the retreat were nothing short of amazing. Connecting with other incredible women and hearing their life journeys added a layer of richness to the experience. This retreat not only provided moments of self-discovery but also fostered a sense of community among the participants.

    I am genuinely grateful to Laurina for orchestrating an event that went beyond my expectations. It has significantly altered the way I perceive life.

    ~ Birgitte Mclean ~

  • "This would never have happened if I hadn't experienced the retreat."

    Driving to the retreat I was both excited and nervous. I didn't know what to expect or anyone else attending. I arrived and received a very warm welcome from Laurina.

    Over the 4 days we all experienced an open forum of calmness, conversation, realisation and understanding of how we can look after our mind and body.

    It opened my mind to see how much we can do for ourselves and that we can make changes. I have made a big decision to leave my job and allow myself time to heal.

    Laurina is amazing.

    ~ Kathy Tweedie ~

  • "You must! Don’t even think twice about it!"

    What an amazing few days in Laurina's care.

    This was such a loving, supportive environment to be totally immersed in. I learned so much from Laurina but also from the other amazing women, we are all in this life together, this retreat is such a special gift to yourself.

    ~ Tracy Yule ~

  • "Words can’t begin to express how I felt after this retreat."

    I arrived nervous and a little unsure of what to expect and left after 4 bliss-filled days full of fun, laughter, tears and new lifelong friends. I left wiser, kinder, and more at peace than I have felt in a long time.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Laurina, for leading us on this beautiful journey.
