Kim McManus
Retreat Director | Multi-modal Practitioner
After years of insomnia, having tried many potential solutions, and having a healthy amount of scepticism, I first discovered breathwork and experienced my own breakthrough - I can now sleep without lying awake for hours on end without feeling anxious and unable to get the rest I so desperately need. Everyone deserves a good night sleep! Along with my other previous education and experience, I know the power and healing these techniques can offer and want to share that with others.
My children are my greatest joy, blessing, and achievement—they inspire me daily. My journey has been one of exploration, connection, and a deep commitment to wellness. Having lived in Nepal, I immersed myself in its rich culture, hiking through its breathtaking landscapes and learning traditional beauty and massage techniques. My love for travel has taken me to many countries, where I’ve embraced diverse cultures, cuisines, healing modalities, and beauty traditions.
From a young age, I have been fascinated by natural therapies and the intelligence of our bodies. This passion led me to formally study a wide range of disciplines, including yoga, nutrition, breathwork, aromatherapy, Swedish and remedial massage, Ayurvedic pressure massage, beauty therapy, and natural beauty therapy. I continue to learn and marvel at the power of breath and the profound connection between body, mind, and spirit.
My independence and extensive travel experiences have deepened my empathy for others and ignited a divine passion to help people heal. Through my work, I have met countless women navigating similar struggles during the mid-stages of life. This has fuelled my mission: to bring together the most passionate, highly qualified, and experienced practitioners to create a sanctuary—a retreat where individuals can reconnect with themselves and embark on their unique journey toward wellness and balance.
I believe in the transformative power of even the smallest positive change. When nurtured, these changes compound into something extraordinary. It is my purpose to help others discover their strength, embrace their divine path, and find healing in the beauty of their own lives and the lives of others.
