"Just the escape I needed for the weekend"

We were able to do yoga outside on the deck and the food that Todd cooked was not only amazing but it was delicious! The room that I stayed in was cozy and comfortable.

"Excellent Experience"

Everything was wonderful and amazing. Daneen is an excellent host and fantastic yoga instructor. She was welcoming, friendly, and encouraging. There were nice surprises and inviting conversations along with the yoga practice held outside on the deck surrounded by nature. The house was beautiful and the food by Todd was delicious. Everything was included from start to finish from being picked up at the airport to the very end. I highly recommend this excellent retreat!

"Mind shift retreat "

I was in really bad physical condition when I showed up for the retreat but was able to cleanse my system naturally with food and tea and other methods like yoga and reiki. We learned about different breathing meditation and ayurvedic practices for the duration of the three day therapy and I felt much better afterwards. Daneen was a really good instructor and I was able to do yoga and relaxation exercises and hadn’t been able to in my current living environment. Turned out good but was somewhat difficult to do. Requires some motivation and perseverance.

"A retreat worth taking!"

Last year I went through a terrible heartbreak through my divorce. I was feeling empty and hollow. I had chest pains constantly, and was not eating or sleeping well. I felt like I needed a retreat. I took myself to Bali for an 18 day adventure. Well, it was marvelous, I wish I would’ve found Deneen’s three day retreat before going. Bali was fun and adventurous but I was unable to connect with myself like I was hoping for. I received more out of speaking to Deneen and doing her program is unparalleled. She really took the time to put a schedule together for someone who is needing to connect with themselves, and someone else. Her heart is in the right place. Her home is a beautiful one. The amenities were awesome as well. The food was delicious. Detoxing in the sauna every night was amazing and relaxing every night. Her meditations are offered with love, support and comfort. If you’re needing a reprieve into connect with yourself again this is a trip we’re taking!

"Awesome experience - highly recommend!"

What a delightful find! Daneen and Todd were the perfect hosts and it was an awesome experience! Highly recommend!

I was impressed by the variety of experiences that were included in the package. Reiki sessions, both indoor and outdoor yoga and meditation (on a gorgeous deck surrounded by nature), and walking trips in nearby towns. Daneen is super organized sharing insights from her extensive training in India and years of experience studying Reiki. The sessions were informative and she listens and cares deeply about her work and how she can help others on their journey. And, she is fun to be around!

I went on my own and felt 100% at home with she and Todd, but it would also be great to be with friends or a group. If you're considering this...do it! A short drive from Chicago and you will return feeling recharged. I am so happy I did this for myself.

The food was both healthy and delicious..and we ended each night with a dessert and aromatic teas by the fire pit.

I slept the best I had in months while I was there...beds are super comfy.

"Retreat is an Oasis to Refresh your Mind and Body"

I truly enjoyed my time spent with Daneen on the retreat. Daneen is a compassionate teacher in sharing her yoga wisdom/lessons learned through her yoga journey and travels to India. Practicing yoga and meditation in her beautiful serene home was so calming and restorative. The outdoor patio is beautiful and located in a bird sanctuary, you feel like you in the middle of a forest. So amazing! The accommodations and food were top notch, you can't ask for more. I also enjoyed spending my late evenings using the sauna. My big takeaway from the retreat was the yoga wisdom I learned such as the daily breathing exercises and incorporating it into my daily life. Highly recommend retreat!

"Illuminating experience!"

Daneen is a marvelous teacher! She is so knowledgeable and so giving and open with sharing that knowledge in a way that I could immediately understand and put into use. She focused on my specific issues and gave me so much new and valuable information to explore on my Reiki and emotional journey. And in her yoga instructions she showed me very targeted techniques and ways to help my body heal and improve my strength and flexibility. I was able to receive new insights and strategies to examine where I am and where I want to be. Daneen was great at helping to find my strengths and provide me with tools to continue to grow physically emotionally and mentally.

I hope I can arrange another ( longer) retreat with Daneen in the future.

And her husband is an amazing cook! All of the meals were absolutely delicious!

Teddy the Labradoodle is a sweetheart! He was an unexpected bonus!

"A healthy start to a new year! "

The retreat space was inviting and comfortable! The outdoor space was peaceful and serene. Daneen and her husband, Todd, where friendly and accommodating the entire time. The yoga classes were expertly taught and the wisdom classes were informative and thought provoking.

"The Perfect Reset for My Life"

Daneen has wonderful energy! If you have any hesitation about what she offers just give her a call. She is compassionate, gentle, and helps customize each practice to her client’s needs. I attended her Eat, Sleep, Think Well retreat in Florida and it was just what I needed to reset and remember how to take care of myself, after caring for others for so long. The food was great, the space was relaxing, and the accommodations were super comfortable. The retreat was just enough alone and together time. The right mix of fun and learning and laughter and introspection! 🙏🤗💕 So grateful for this experience!🥰
