  • Truly Transformational -The Heart n Soul Retreat was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With Samala’s wisdom, care, and love, I connected with myself on every level. The retreat offered a sacred space to slow down, breathe, and rediscover my inner balance. Every moment felt intentional and deeply nourishing, leaving me lighter, inspired, and more aligned with who I am. Samala’s presence is extraordinary — she holds space in such a gentle yet powerful way that makes the whole journey truly transformative

  • It is so powerful this transformation. My cells are dancing all through my body. I feel my own radiance and remind myself to go gentle and slow. My connection with hubby took us to the first night we met. That's my truth. I am so forever grateful I have received my healing and ready to take it out into the wold."

  • I Received a Call that Changed my Life - The March ’25 retreat was the first time I truly put myself first, even with a moonboot and crutches, nothing was going to stop me. After six busy and demanding years, I found the calm, clarity, and transformation I was searching for. I’ve learnt to love and celebrate myself, and to keep stepping into the discomfort because that’s where the magic happens. Heart n Soul Retreats has blessed me more than I can express, and I’m so excited to join Bali in Sept ’26!"

One year on, the transformation hasn’t faded - it’s flourished. My confidence and clarity continue to grow, turning that initial change into a lasting journey. Life feels more aligned, fulfilling, and connected every day, and the lifetime sisterhood I gained is a gift beyond words.

Samala is an incredible facilitator, and I felt safe and able to express myself without feeling any judgment, this is a big deal as I am normally very self conscious when it comes to moving my body. Music was excellent, and I can’t wait for her next retreat offering.”

The stunning natural surroundings, nourishing food, and nurturing facilitators created the perfect environment for me to unwind and recharge. The workshops helped me understand my false beliefs and reconnect with my body, while the sound journey was a true highlight.

  • I Learnt How to Process Life with More Ease - "The environment is beautiful and feels so safe. I’ve learnt how to process situations that happen often, and I’m excited to practice this every day.

  • A Journey of Deep Nourishment “This retreat unfolded in a space that felt gently held, safe, and deeply cared for. Every detail carried quiet intention — from the surrounding nature and soft sounds, to the shared meals, warm teas, herbal infusions, and sweet offerings that moved through the days like small acts of love. Nature was always present, close and alive. Wherever my eyes rested, there was green, light, and stillness — a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and return inward. When I left, something lingered. For days, I carried a sense of calm and expanded awareness, as if I had stepped out of another world and returned softer, clearer, and more open. I truly needed this experience. It gently shifted my inner landscape and created space for new inspiration, clarity, and a renewed way of being. A deeply nourishing and beautiful journey.”
