Testimonials
Exceeded all my expectations. The sound healing was transportive and unlike any other sound bath I’ve experienced. Maga was incredibly authentic and created a warm, safe and encouraging space for learning. Connected with incredible humans, conquered fears with an amazing hike, delicious vegan meals by the fire, for a truly restorative experience. I’m so excited to continue my sound healing journey and to introduce into my massage therapy practice. Highly recommend!
-Krista
This sound healing experience was uplifting and refreshing. Maga is so patient, compassionate about her work, and you can tell she leads with her heart center. The experience was a perfect blend of teaching, practice and relaxation. The schedule was well thought out and the retreat location was also a perfect setting for what we were doing. I highly recommend any retreats/experiences with Maga because I know she's intentional with her work and you will leave with valuable new information, resources and tools to continue your healing. Thank you Maga! I look forward to attending future retreats!
-Kiara
Before our Sound Healing Immersion retreat, I hadn’t had any experience with sound baths or sound work but I was very interested to experience it and curious to learn. Maga is incredibly welcoming and a fantastic teacher; she put me at ease right away. I now feel confident in beginning to try a few different forms of sound healing in my own practice at home, and I’m looking forward to learning and experiencing more at another retreat! I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and invigorated.
-Carolyn
From start to finish this was an amazing experience! Magnificent retreat environment, healthy and tasty food, thoughtful activities, and the best company. I could feel the care that Maga put into every detail to make this experience special for everyone. Thank you and until the next one!
