FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A few common questions, answered — & if you don't find what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you directly.
Getting Started
Do I need any experience to join?
Not at all. Every offering is designed to meet you exactly where you are — no prior experience with yoga, massage, meditation or somatic body-work is necessary.
Who is this for?
All are welcome — singles, couples & beings of all gender identities. Some retreats may occasionally be curated for a specific group, but private sessions are open to everyone.
I'm nervous about touch-based work — is that normal?
Completely. Every 1:1 session begins with an open conversation, so you feel safe, informed & aware from the very start. Nothing happens without your full consent.
I have a health condition — is this still right for me?
Likely, yes — many people come to this work carrying tension or things they're ready to release. If you have a specific concern, reach out beforehand so I can make sure it's a good fit.
Private Sessions
How long is a session, & what does it cost?
Sessions run approximately 90 minutes, though if more space is needed to talk & connect, we can allow for this.
Mexico: sliding scale, 1,000–1,500 MXN
New Zealand: $170 NZD
Where are sessions held?
Mexico: at my home, a private cabana in Mazunte on the coast of Oaxaca.
New Zealand: based in Ruatangata Whangarei, though it is possible for me to travel with my table.
What if I need to cancel?
Because spots are limited & often fully booked, I kindly invite you to still offer the full session amount if cancelling within 24 hours — not as a penalty, but to honour the time held for you. If something unexpected comes up, I'm always happy to talk it through.
Retreats
Do I need to travel to Mexico or New Zealand?
Not necessarily — I'm also available to travel & bring retreats or sessions to your community, wherever you are.
When is the next retreat?
Subscribe to be the first to know, or reach out to ask directly.
Can I come alone?
Yes — solo travelers’s, couples, friends, a family group are all welcome.
What's your cancellation policy?
A deposit secures your place & is non-refundable within 7 days of the retreat start, as spaces are limited. I'm always happy to talk through your situation if plans change.

Rooted in classical yoga, Kashmir Shaivism & Advaita Vedanta, centered on the question Who am I? — weaving Hatha yoga, meditation & self-inquiry into a path of stillness & devotion.
