Testimonials

At GIAl retreat, I felt like I arrived home. Perfect strangers retreating together but there was a familiarity. We all came carrying our own heavy grief backpacks, invisible to the outside world but visible to those that know grief. Leah and Danielle held space that felt safe enough for us to gently take them off and unpack them together, exploring the contents and validate what we have all been carrying. With the unloading came the profound awareness of how grief shows up physically in our bodies..

Amir's wonderful soul food that provided comfort, nourished and replenished our energy. The daily yoga, breath work, hypnotherapy, guided workshops and time to explore outdoors were all beautifully thought through to help ease us all into unbracing and breathing.

To Leah, Danielle, Amir and my fellow grief islanders - thank you. This experience has truly opened my eyes and heart in ways I will never forget

Wow. From the very first emails and calls, Leah and Danielle made me feel supported and safe-even before l'd booked. I was nervous about traveling alone, but Grief is an Island immediately felt like something special.

Every detail was thoughtfully considered: the beautiful villa, Amir's nourishing meals, the group workbooks, yoga, breathwork, sound baths, hypnotherapy, and Leah's magical hands during myofascial release. It was deeply restorative.

I connected with wonderful people, laughed, cried, and opened my heart, gently guided every step of the way. We explored stunning parts of Ibiza and also had space to reflect, rest, and simply be.

Leah and Danielle have created something truly special. I left with meaningful tools-especially breathwork-that continue to support me long after returning home. I can't recommend this retreat enough to anyone on their grief journey.

My Grief is an Island experience will stay with me forever in all the very best ways. It was a truly immersive, nurturing and healing retreat. As a bereaved mum living with deep grief and the aftermath of traumatic experiences, this retreat delivered more than I could have wished for. The connections with others on their grief journeys was magically organic and really valuable. I have so many helpful takeaways for my toolkit moving forward. 

Leah and Danielle created a safe space in the most beautiful setting and shared the benefit of their own lived experience and years of expertise across countless healing modalities. 

They truly thought of everything for our comfort and we were wonderfully well fed!, I couldn't recommend this retreat enough!

It is true to say grief is an island but those feelings of isolation and aloneness, got set aside in Ibiza!.The retreat provided an invaluable unique opportunity to come together with others grieving. It enabled us to share our stories in an understanding & empathetic space, expertly guided by Leah and Danielle. How refreshing it was to be surrounded by a lovely kind hearted group who truly 'get it' thank you for everything.
