The Visioning Experience You've Been Looking For

who do you want to be in your next chapter?

May is an exceptional coach and leader: wise, encouraging, creative, intelligent, and patient, her leadership coaching group and online programs, as well as her weekly podcasts, have been instrumental to self-reflection and in turn my emotional and spiritual growth during the past 18 months. Her in-person retreat highlighted her talents and experience wherein we engaged in meditation, intention setting, akashic energy work, journaling, and much more (including fine dining). May has a gift of understanding her clients’ respective needs and goals and providing the appropriate tools and environment for self-attainment. I look forward to continuing my journey with May and would strongly encourage any person who seeks to grow, discover, and learn to do so.

“I look forward to continuing my journey with May”

I loved the retreat. I hope that you offer more of them. It meant so much to me in so many different ways. I felt physically good when I left. I felt more in tune spiritually. I felt validated in my feelings and the direction I want to take my life in. I left feeling that I had a strong plan for the future and good resources to use as I move forward. Thank you so much for a meaningful day.

— STACY

“I left feeling like I had a strong plan for the future.”

I worked with May for a year and I'm in a completely different place both mentally and physically than I was when we started coaching. I just accepted an offer for my dream job, I feel physically strong and healthy, but most importantly I have better tools to manage the way I perceive life. 

I was hesitant to make the commitment because I have tried countless tools and worked with many therapists before. But what ultimately convinced me is her approach of combining spirituality with practical leadership skills. The coaching was very actionable, with tangible, measurable results. But also focused on who I am as a person and what I want to embody. 

I think what sets May apart from most coaches is that she comes from a very impressive professional background and she understands and can advise on a lot of complex work challenges across various industries. But at the same time just as naturally she cleanses your chakras and guides you on an energetic level. This is extremely rare.

I would also recommend going on one of her retreats. I went 6 months ago and I still listen to the retreat playlist in an attempt to bring some of that energy into my everyday life. Not to mention a newly acquired habit of drinking warm lemon water every morning. 
10/10 best investment. 

— VALERIE

“I just accepted an offer for my dream job.”

I am so grateful to May for an absolutely beautiful, spacious, and transformative retreat.

Many shifts inside and out are already happening-thanks to the restorative nature of this retreat, the opportunity to try something new, and the space to explore my own beliefs and be in community with a wonderful group of people.

— BoNNIE

“Beautiful, spacious and transformative.”

I'm multi-passionate, a yoga teacher and also a mom of 2 young girls. I've changed my career multiple times to pursue my passions and have studied both spirituality as well as business leadership. My speciality is taking driven, ambitious achievers to the next level by reconnecting them with their purpose, their divine wisdom, and to their spirituality.

If there's a desire you want to bring to life or you just need time to reset your life, this intimate retreat is for you.

Join me, a Columbia-certified leadership and mindset coach for the driven and spiritually curious, as I guide you on a journey of self-discovery.

You will leave with not only a new sense of identity, but also tools and rituals for living with more perspective and clarity. Most importantly, you will start to shed the layers to be who you've always been.


I've been there too.

This isn’t just a “spend time in nature" ReTREAT. This is a RETREAT TO discover a greater sense of ease, purpose and surrender.

but guess what...

Imagine days filled with intention, yoga, meditation and ritual. We will create from within and embody our most truest selves.

Your life is about to take a new direction...

So let's get started!

“May offers the perfect blend of spiritual and practical life and career advice.”

She understands where I am coming from and knows the right approach to help me reverse my negative thoughts. She has not only helped me progress in my career, but she also got me into the right mindset to break free of burnout, anxiety and bad vibes. She changed the way I think, feel and interact with others on a daily basis, at work and in my personal life. My favorite compliment over the past few months has been when people voice how calm and collected I am, when previously I was known to be frantic and a worrier. I truly believe in the magic that is May and recommend her to my friends who are looking for a positive change in their life.

It's always the right time for inner work.

“Phenomenal, mystical, meaningful"

My reading with May was precise and direct, straight to the source of my essence and heart. Having a reading with her was like being spotted by a dear friend through a crowd of strangers. She knew what I was dealing with on a soul level, created a compassionate space, and was able to guide me to my next level of evolution in half an hour. Phenomenal, mystical, meaningful.

shellie was guided to her next step of her evolution

“She has set me off on a path to self-love, and my world is starting to open up as I lead with love and align my values and my work."

I recently saw May in person for some energy work and we went deeper than I have ever gone. She helped me tap into and open up some deep pain that I had blocked off and guided me through the acceptance of that pain — it was such a cathartic experience. This experience has taught me the limitations of the thinking mind and the intuitive knowledge we have in our bodies. She has set me on a path to self-love, and my world is starting to open up as I lead with love and align my values and my work.

She effortlessly got right to the core of the issues that were concerning me, and offered a perspective that helped me to see things in a new way. After the reading was over, I felt calm and lighter, as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. There are several nuggets of wisdom from our session that I have been thinking about often and am trying to apply every day.

more about me >

hey there!

But this didn't happen by accident. 

I realized the power of retreats, when I was having my first baby, changing careers, feeling overwhelmed by the demands at work and home - and knew that I needed something to change.

I realized the power of retreats when I wanted to step into the most authentic version of myself, knowing I couldn't do it without living the experience fully.

This retreat was created from listening to my own internal truth and guidance. The one that told me to surrender while I was in meditation at a yoga retreat. The one that told me to create retreats for those in transition when I was looking out into the clouds on a flight criss-crossing the country each week for my work.

The one that told me to that stillness leads to expansion.

I had a visualization of a circle of seekers coming from all over the world to answer their biggest questions.

No thoughts go unanswered.

This retreat is my answer to my questions.

If you're still reading, now it's your turn. It's time to sign up.

now it's your turn.

This retreat is one of a kind because...

it is built upon the energy of you.

Your energy affects everything. Your healing, your embodiment and your ability to accept life as it is. You also have a deep well of creative energy inside of you and I will guide you through energetic practices to come back to your own truth, lead from your soul, and move forward with a greater sense of purpose.

we create an experience of transformation

Transformation happens when we begin to understand how the world operates in relation to ourselves. Thoughts, beliefs, patterns and assumptions will be tested to see if they hold true. What remains is the transformation that is ready to take shape. You, as you, continuing to operate in the energy of love.
