Cold Water Skin Bar
Isabelle is an enthusiastic skin health educator whose mission is to revolutionize the way we approach skincare by clarifying the blurred lines of the beauty market and educating on the science behind different products.

After time with Isabelle you will be glowing, feel truly pampered, and be informed and empowered on how to properly care for your body’s largest organ!
Certified yoga Instructor
Meet your guide to mindful living on the mat and beyond. With a deep passion for yoga, Lisa has been sharing her expertise since 2011, leaving a trail of balanced minds and revitalized bodies in Ontario, Victoria, and now Vancouver.
She feels that the synergy between running and the restorative power of yang yin yoga is not just a practice—it's a personal journey. Through her years of teaching, she's discovered the profound impact this blend has on her running body, & beyond the studio her practice seamlessly weaves into her daily life. During retreat weekend Lisa will show us what it truly means to go beyond the poses.
Registered Massage Therapist
& Co-owner of Compass Mobile Massage
Natasha is a passionate RMT who co-owns a mobile massage company on Vancouver Island with her daughter, called Compass Massage! They won the Best New Business Chamber award for Greater Victoria in 2023 & are impacting clients all over Vancouver Island!
She’s excited to offer you a 30-minute one on one RMT massage as part of your retreat experience, and to give your body the care and support it needs post-race.
Natasha left her career in public service and decided it was time to pivot when the pull for more meaningful work couldn’t be ignored. It was an easy decision to head back to school in her 40’s and become an RMT. Now with her company, the need for mobile massage on Vancouver Island is getting met, and bring effective treatments wherever she serves brings her passion for the work, full circle.
