I previously had done a workshop that was what opened me up to the amazing tool of breath work, I wanted to know more so I booked in for the retreat.

I found it transformational for releasing trauma, anxiety, energy that was stuck, all the things holding me back In being and accepting myself as I am in the here and now, I learnt tools to help me regulate their release emotions which in turn is helping me with my life's purpose.

Monique and Liam have been exceptional and helping me feel safe and to be vulnerable and myself .meeting others at the retreat would also be a major highlight, connections made where something that will stay close to my heart .

Everything from the weekend and Anahata will stay with me for ever and help me and so many ways. major highlights , breath work tools releasing stuck energy , shared connection, the food (delicious) , feeling of safety, support beforehand, during and after retreat, the music , location and being in nature, the sauna , learning yoga, being all inclusive.

I highly recommend this retreat and any work with Monique and Liam absolutely life changing!

Best three days of my life - that sounds like an exaggeration but I really mean it!

Taking the time to invest in myself and connect back to my roots was so incredible - I feel like I know myself just a little bit more.

Monique, Liam and Theo create a safe environment for you to dive into some of your trauma that needs to be understood - by you.

They will give you the space and tools you need to begin your journey of healing. When life is so busy and society is all backwards it is spaces like these that we need in our lives to remind us what is actually IMPORTANT.

I had never done any of this kind of work before but I felt so safe and supported to just jump in the deep end and give it all a go with an open heart and mind.

Theo is a treat you didn't know you needed, he is going to be the most intuitive human in the world haha.

Don't think, just book! You will get something out of it guaranteed!

My biggest takeaway from the retreat with Monique and Liam, was actually what I was able to leave behind.

I came away from the retreat feeling like a different person. But more like the RIGHT person. I was able to release so much emotion and tension that I didn’t even know I was carrying.

I had no idea how weighed down I was by my pent up emotion and trauma, that when I released it and left the retreat, I literally felt lighter.

I was able to leave behind layers that were doing nothing but hold me back from being able to live my best authentic life. I was able to refocus on what was important to me, how I wanted to live my life, and how I could make the most of living the best life I could.

In the weeks after the retreat I have been able to refocus and make big choices that feel right for me and that will enable me to live a happier and healthier life for both myself and my daughter.

The whole retreat experience, and the breathwork practice, was invaluable for me. It is something that I will definitely revisit throughout my life as a tool to support my mental and emotional well being.

I am able to better understand the resistance I feel to challenges

Shown that I can access a safe place in my body to feel my emotions

I've gained hope again in my breathwork journey

Over a long weekend, in a small group, I found my way from the ego back into the heart during the Breathwork sessions, cocoa ceremonies, Yin and Kundalini Yoga sessions.

I felt well taken care of during each session. They created a wonderful space. After the retreat I returned to my everyday life much more relaxed, at peace and confident.

My biggest takeaway from the retreat was the time in space I allowed myself to fully feel. Feeling into all of my emotions without judgment helped release anger, hurt and ecstatic bliss.

Making noise, sound and movement meant being witnessed in my fullest expression! It was the home coming to my body that I needed after a bumpy beginning to the year!

I recently attended my first ever breathwork & sound healing work shop with Monique and Liam last year in Ōtaki which immediately left me with wanting to experience more of this amazing practice.

So I decided to do the retreat they were offering at the waihoanga river lodge in Ōtaki. Monique and Liam have such a beautiful energy full of love, kindness & no judgment.

They create a space of peace, mindfulness, connection & absolute safety. This retreat has taught me so many things about myself, so many layers that I have to work on & layers that have already lifted.

I have learnt practice’s that I can do at home to continue on my journey which I have been doing since leaving that amazing weekend.

Thank you to you both for offering this essential experience to help people help themselves. You both are very special humans.

I can’t wait to be on my next journey with you again.

The Breathwork Retreat hosted by Monique and Liam in Otaki was an absolutely amazing experience. Such a calming and tranquil setting and atmosphere.

To connect with like minded people and sharing in their journey's is something that will stay with me forever.

Knowing that I was fully supported in my breathwork journey's, allowed me to release so much stored trauma/energy from my body so that once released I was able to go much deeper in the next session.

Having all the sound healing from all the different instruments that Monique and Liam use at the end of the breathwork session's was absolutely divine and brought a whole new level of feeling and healing in to the session's.

My biggest takeaway was finding/knowing how strong I really am, that I need to trust and believe in myself more and knowing that no matter what is happening I am strong enough to get through it and that I am on my right path 🙌💜

The breathwork retreat with Monique and Liam was held in a wonderfully supportive way, allowing each participant to travel their own path while the group energy was facilitated by very experienced and knowledgeable hands.

For myself having a first experience with both cacao and breathwork, I discovered that I was able to move a lot of energy blocks that have been holding me back.

It was a wonderfully safe environment to be in. Loved the Yurt as a workshop space and having access to such a divine river was a blessing. Thank you.
