Katy Bleau - Chef
My name is Katy and I am a yogic chef and food coach! After studying food anthropology at the CIA in New York and completing my 200hr teacher training in Calgary, AB with Mynah School of Yoga, I decided to combine the two to create my business Explore Healing Food and Movement. During your retreat I will be doing my best to nourish you body, mind, and soul as you focus in on your personal growth as health and wellness practitioners. The menus have been carefully curated to provide you with energy and comfort, prevent fatigue, and establish a Ayurvedic-inspired harmony in you and between you and those you are learning alongside. I truly believe in the power of this retreat and am happy to accommodate food sensitivities and allergies within reason so you get the most out of this experience and take the next step to be the best version of you. <3 For more information on me and my story check out my Instagrams:

Natalie Lang - Bodywork Spealist and Energy Healer
Natalie is a Minneapolis based bodyworker and energy healer. Born with intuitive abilities, a gift for bodywork and a love for holistic care, she enjoys helping others explore the wonderful world of alternative medicine through Myofascial Release, Foot Reflexology and Reiki. Myofascial release is a gentle, sustained and prolonged stretching to assist in releasing fascial restrictions to help ease chronic pain and increase mobility. Reiki is a gentle and powerful modality of energy healing that promotes relaxation, healing and peace throughout the body. These sessions are guided by your intention. Whatever intention you bring to our time together is how I am guided. Every session is different! Reiki sessions are usually hands off, or a very light touch, if any. Foot reflexology includes stimulating points on the feet that correspond to different organs, muscles and skeletal structures to allow energetic blocks to be released, and bring fresh blood flow to the area of our body, prompting our bodies self healing response. She’s grateful and excited to be able to be of service and to help you further integrate your experience at the retreat!
