I arrived feeling empty, lost, and uncertain of my abilities, but I left with my cup filled and a renewed sense of purpose. Laura is so talented and has such a passion for what she does—it was inspiring to see her in action and learn from the best in the business. She created a space that allowed me to reconnect with my passion for massage and remember my own worth. Not only did I gain new skills, but I also left with an amazing group of women who became like sisters to me. This retreat was more than a journey of self-discovery; it was a transformation, and I’m forever grateful to Laura for making it possible🥰

From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped in warmth and support. Laura, our incredible instructor, went beyond just teaching us the art of massage; she became a sister to me. Her guidance on how to practice massage safely and effectively was invaluable, but it was her genuine care that left a lasting impression on my heart. I am grateful not only for the skills I gained but for the community that blossomed during our time together. I now have a network of thirteen amazing sisters, all cheering each other on. It’s rare to find such deep connections, and I cherish knowing I’ll always have a supportive family in them.

Nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Tenerife, the accommodations were charming and thoughtfully arranged. Each detail added to the overall experience, from the stunning surroundings to the cozy atmosphere that encouraged relaxation and healing. I carry my bottle of olive oil as a reminder of this special time, a tangible piece of the joy I experienced. Graduation night was particularly magical—a celebration of our journey together that I will always hold dear. Laura’s course materials were beautifully crafted, making learning accessible and enjoyable. Her talent for teaching is as profound as her healing abilities. Reflecting on those seven days, I often find myself longing to return to that special place, surrounded by such incredible women.

it provided me with a sense of belonging and a renewed sense of self. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering this retreat to take the leap—you’ll receive so much more than you can imagine. I am forever grateful for this experience and the relationships I’ve built. No amount of money could buy the connections and memories we created together.

All my love , Suri 💗💗💗💗

Learning massage from Laura has been the best thing I’ve done for myself and my career! She’s super hands on and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your practice. Our retreat was fully equipped to relax and unwind when we weren’t in class. Along side learning massage we had spiritual elements to connect with ourselves and our intention. I have a renewed sense of balance and purpose after attending this retreat.

This is a must-experience!

Her energy attracts like minded people. It's unbelievable that the retreat is your first event, because you have done such an amazing job. And I feel that it's just a start. All studying materials, massage practice and retreat activities are created so detailed and in an understandable form. All areas of the villa are suitable so well and helped me to reconnect with myself. The staff are friendly and soulful, the food is tasty. I'm so glad to meet Laura, the girls and to learn from them all. Now I feel like I'm returning to my natural state. I feel inspired, calm, full of ideas and concentrated.

Thank you Laura for creating with love and sharing with us!

Laura has created a truly extraordinary space where every detail is designed to help you unwind, connect, and leave with newfound insights and skills.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for. A beautiful welcome package awaited me in my room, complete with a gorgeous tunic from 10 Knots and luxurious Bamford products that made settling in a delight. The accommodation was fantastic—clean, spacious, and equipped with a massive bed for ultimate comfort. Each villa had its own cozy kitchen and lounging area, making it feel like a private sanctuary.

Her gentle guidance was the perfect way to center ourselves and set an intentional tone for the day.

A massive thank you goes to Jenny for her incredible vegetarian dishes, which were truly a highlight of the retreat. She served the most delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, each meal crafted with care and flavor. And for those who preferred, Laura thoughtfully offered a meat option, making sure everyone’s needs were met. The dining experience felt like a gathering of friends, enhanced by the charming company of the resident cats, Bebe, Steve, and Cocopopo, who added warmth and playfulness to the environment.

Laura is a phenomenal tutor, sharing her methods clearly and thoughtfully. Her manual was easy to follow and made the material so accessible that it felt like a valuable resource I could return to again and again. By the end of the week, I felt confident in the new techniques I’d learned and inspired by the personal insights I’d gained.

We wrapped up with a closing ceremony, a wonderful chance to dress up, celebrate our week, and reflect on the friendships and knowledge we’d gathered. This retreat was so much more than a course—it was a deeply transformative experience that helped me grow personally and professionally in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

I cannot recommend Laura’s retreat highly enough. It’s a gift to yourself, where you’ll find not only valuable skills but also community, healing, and renewal. It’s an investment that will stay with you long after you leave. 🤍

My experience in Tenerife was nothing short of transformative. The deep release massage routine was unlike anything I’ve ever encountered—beautiful, flowing movements that brought both physical relief and emotional release. It was an art form in itself.

What made the retreat even more special was the connection with other like-minded souls—each person driven by a shared vision, goals, and a deep passion for healing and growth. We bonded through sound baths, meditation, and morning yoga sessions that grounded and uplifted us, setting the perfect tone for each day.

This Retreat It reminded me that with intention and belief, we are truly capable of achieving anything. A heartfelt thank you for such a powerful and beautiful journey.

- Naomi

The place offers you the perfect environment to disconnect from the daily routine and chaos that we might experience at times.

It was really beautiful to see Laura’s passion,care and energy in every session. She makes this retreat special and this retreat is something you have to experience for yourself to truly understand and feel its magic ❤️

- Iulia

We learned deep release massage techniques that seriously changed the game, super empowering but also easy on your body when you’re giving massages (which is a win-win!)

Laura, who hosted the retreat, was absolutely amazing. Her energy was unreal! So supportive, kind, and just made the whole experience feel magical✨ From the moment we arrived, she, Charlotte, and Katerine created such a warm, welcoming vibe. We all showed up a bit nervous, but by the end, we’d formed real friendships and made memories I’ll never forget.

The techniques were a lot to take in at first, especially if you’re new to it all, but Laura guided us through everything so clearly that it just clicked. And can we talk about the fact that we not only gave massages, but got them too? Heaven! 😍

- Benz

It was more than just learning massage and practicing yoga, it was a journey inward.

I found a beautiful community of women, and Laura is absolutely wonderful: supportive, kind, and present every step of the way, even before and after the retreat.

I left feeling more in tune with myself and with a heart full of gratitude.

I truly recommend this to anyone. It is the perfect space to reconnect, learn, and grow.

Even before I reached the Villa in Tenerife, in the months leading up to the retreat, Lauras support was outstanding! Responding to every single message from me (and I mean every single one) she reassured my worried little self that I was meant to be on this journey, and truly meant to be part of this group.

Solstice taught me that whilst everyone is at different stages of thier yachting career, whether it be new to yachting, new to massage, or even both! Nobody was there to measure or compare levels of experience. We were all there that same week, to learn, to grow, and to truly support eachother. To Laura and her amazing team who helped create Solstice, your expertise, dedication and passion, have helped me reconnect with my inner voice, and be able to say to myself again, “I can do this!”.

Thankyou!
