03 The Retreat Guide
You have the vision. I help you build it — from the ground up. Drawing on 400+ retreats worth of real experience, I work with you before and after your retreat to design a container that actually does what you want it to do. The flow, the programming, the arc, the details that make people feel genuinely held. And after, we debrief what worked, what didn't, and what to do next time.

I work with wellness facilitators, yoga teachers, health professionals, and corporates — anyone with a genuine intention to create a transformative experience for their people.




Yoga & Breathwork
With over a decade of teaching experience, I offer private sessions tailored completely to you — your body, your nervous system, your goals.
Whether you or your clients are after a regular practice, a one-off reset, or something for a small group, I'd love to hold that space.
Available in person in Byron Bay & surrounds or online.

“Elise is honestly the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. She has such a beautiful way of holding space for you throughout the entire week - not just in the yoga classes, but in every moment. I felt so safe, supported and completely myself. I left feeling more connected to my body, my heart and myself than I had in a very long time.”
