Bring balance, focus, and calm to your retreat. We’ll take care of every detail, creating a seamless, tailored experience just for you.
Or opt for our fully hosted retreat offering—both supported by 24 years of experience in the travel industry, alongside my work as a qualified yoga teacher and retreat host.
Hi, I’m Jo. Let’s elevate your retreat dreams.
As the founder of Awaken and Awaken Retreats, I’m a boho, ocean-loving girl at heart who believes deeply in the power of slowing down.
But I also understand the realities—and the pressures—that come with planning a retreat or event.
With 24 years in the fast-paced travel industry, I bring both experience and insight into what it truly takes to deliver a seamless,
successful retreat.
That’s why I created the Awaken Retreats Planning Partnership.
Rooted in yoga, inner work, and conscious travel, it’s here to bring your retreat vision to life—supporting your dream of hosting, without the stress of planning, so you can focus your energy on your students.
