What Others Have to Say
I am thrilled that Sandra is coming to Cayman! I attended another one of her retreats last year and fell in love…with Sandra, with her teachings, and with myself. Sandra has a kind soul and a beautiful energy. I immediately felt at home and at ease, which supported my personal journey to open and receive. She guided me to go within, listen to my body, reconnect with myself, and step off my mat into the world with practical tools. And I am deeply grateful that Diane is hosting this retreat at Bodyworks Holistic Wellness Centre, my home studio and personal sanctuary.
