Journey Within
sacred gatherings • ancient teachings • spiritual retreats
Start Your Journey
Spiritual growth pushes us out of our comfort zone and into the unknown. Whether you have a spiritual practice or not, you are a spiritual being, living a human experience. While life can be beautiful, it can also be overwhelming, and at times brutal.
​
We live in a world of constant change. We are taught that we must work things out, move forward, be in control, and push harder. What if you are exactly where you are meant to be? What if you are meant to slow down and sit with uncertainty, to allow discomfort to arise, and simply feel it? Life is not something to figure out. It is meant to be experienced. We are here to learn how to allow, how to be tender with ourselves and each other, how to breathe, and how to let go.
Contained within every struggle is a seed of potential to thrive. While we resist change, it is this resistance that is at the root of our pain. ​The darkness provides us with an opportunity to go within and to transform. When we release what no longer serves us, we create space for a more authentic version of ourselves to emerge. Each of us has an inner source of wisdom that guides us in our healing process, an organic unfolding that takes time. Pain and stress do not mean that we are broken. They are simply our body's way of bringing the need for change into our awareness.
​
Through slow, nourishing practices, your nervous system will become regulated, creating the conditions for your own inner healer to awaken. You will learn how to be kind to yourself, how to embrace all aspects of your life, and how to accept it as it unfolds. When we let go of the pressure to follow someone else's timeline, peace enters our lives. We learn to trust that there is always time, what is meant for us is there waiting. We choose to believe that we are guided, that life will bring us where we are meant to be, and that we don't have to find ourselves, as we were never truly lost.

Transformational Retreats
Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you.
Paulo Coelho
​We believe that healing is an intimate process best done one on one or in small groups of no more than 6 people. How you choose to approach your healing is entirely up to you. We are trauma-informed and inclusive. We will work with you to create an individualised treatment protocol that best suits your needs. We offer everything from yoga and somatic movement, energy healing, tarot chakra healing, to holistic therapies, and nutritional consultations. There is no surcharge for coming on your own and you will have a private room. We are here to support you on your path to living a grounded, deeply connected, and healthier life. Our retreats are designed to nourish you body • mind • spirit. Immerse yourself in nature, open to possibility, and gather the tools you need once you return home.

Testimonials
If you are looking for a starting point on your new journey, I highly recommend “Journey Within”. Diane helped my husband during the last months with his battle with cancer. I saw with my own eyes what Reiki did for him and I wanted or maybe I knew that it would be one of my needs. This was the beginning of our relationship and my journey within. She opened so many doors to pique my curiosity and 8 years later I am still learning from this lovely lady. She is very knowledgeable, resourceful and needless to say a compassionate/empathetic person. The personal touch that she adds to her classes and retreats is what makes the experience special ... you never feel like you do not belong.

I don't even know where to start! I am so blessed to have been introduced to Diane! Such a beautiful soul who KNOWS her stuff! She taught me all my levels of Reiki and we have worked closely together in many instances and I can't say enough about how helpful and honest she is in what she teaches. Not only do I recommend her, but working with her is a must if you wish to move forward in your life! She will be there for you on your journey within <3 Love you Di xox

Diane is an absolutely incredible woman, and an incredible teacher! She has taught me so much in Myomassology, Essential Oils, and other Holistic Practices that I use to this day! I cannot recommend her and this school enough. Thank you to Diane, for showing me the Journey Within! ♡

I have taken three of the holistic workshops with Diane and the experience has honestly been life altering. I felt connected with her from day one, she guided me throughout the entire learning process and has been a wonderful mentor. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are as well informed and equipped as possible in your journey to become not only a successful practitioner, but to also make sure that we can offer our clients the best quality of treatments possible. And it doesn’t end there. In my time at her location, I was able to witness the serenity she brings into her retreats and the wonderful effects this has on a person. I also experienced an inspiring example of what plant-based nutrition can look like and how well my body responded to it. I gained so much more than just training in holistic modalities. Thank you for kickstarting my journey within <3

I went to Diane when I was trying to get pregnant, I tried for almost a year. After one treatment I was pregnant a month later. She balanced me, amplified my intentions and helped give me my beautiful son. She is one of the kindest souls I have been lucky enough to meet and connect to. I highly recommend Diane to anyone trying to conceive, looking for inspiration and for stress relief and balance within their life. She’s wonderful!

I studied holistic massage and Reiki with Diane and both experiences were enlightening and life-changing. I was awakened to new levels of spirituality, new ways of coping and healing as well introduced to many other aspects of holistic living. Thanks to my experiences with Diane, I am much more self-aware, much more in-tune with those I interact with and I have gained many tools to use to improve my life and to help others. I highly recommend Journey Within to anyone who is ready to change their lives, to anyone who is really ready to be awakened and make lasting changes in their lives.

Di started me on my path to Reiki and healing and thank you just doesn't seem enough! A true inspiration to whom I am eternally grateful!! A beautiful soul inside and out. Thanks to Diane and her "Journey Within", I have learned to walk my path and to be true to myself. Always there to guide me or to lend her shoulder when I doubted myself. Congratulations on this new venture Di!! Namaste! Blessed be and peace be thine my friend! Big, big hugs!

I took this program a few years ago and I am so glad that I did. I have learnt so much from this course hands on as well as theory. Things I never thought I would have any knowledge in, and that’s all thanks to the amount of time Diane has invested in me. She believes in you when you don’t believe in yourself and there’s nothing more you could want from an instructor. I definitely recommend this program for anyone who has a passion for helping others.

Di has been helping me with my wellness journey for a few years now. Without her, starting me on the right path to wellness, I don't know where I'd be. She really understands me, and we connect. If everyone could find their journey within, and understand how nice it is to just breathe and listen to your Spirit, there'd be a lot less illnesses. I just love her!!! thanks Di.
