Hi, I'm Desiree
Your guide. Facilitator. Sister.
Moonlight Retreats was born from my own unravelling — and the slow, beautiful work of coming back together.
I'm a wellness coach and holistic mentor, but what I really am is a woman who knows what it feels like to carry too much. Who had to learn, slowly and with great tenderness, how to put it down.
I create grounded, heart-led spaces where women come home to themselves. Where healing doesn't have to be forced or fought for — where it can be gentle, spacious, even playful. Where your inner child gets to breathe, and the divine feminine within you gets to be remembered.
My approach blends soulful presence with practical tools — embodiment, ritual, movement, sound, deep integration, and rest — all held in a way that feels nurturing and thoughtfully curated. I don't lead retreats. I hold them.
My work is shaped by years of study and lived experience: Yoga Teacher Training, Reiki, Crystal Sound Bowl facilitation, advanced Human Design, Metamorphosis, the 7 Stages of Consciousness, Authentic Relating, and 5 Elements Ecstatic Dance DJ Training. But more than any certification, it's my own healing journey that informs the way I hold space — with presence, compassion, and deep respect for wherever you are.
I believe your body knows the way. My role is simply to help you feel safe enough to follow it.
I’m a wellness coach and holistic mentor here to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom.
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
The transformation women experience here:
A calmer nervous system and a clearer mind
Stronger self-trust and mindful boundaries
Emotional release without overwhelm
A deeper connection to the body and feminine energy
Sisterhood that feels real, not surface-level
a renewed sense of purpose, confidence, and inner peace
Gentle.
Body-based.
Rooted in safety.
Everything is an invitation, not an expectation.
You’ll be supported to move at your own pace, honour your boundaries, and trust your body as the leader.
Moonlight Retreats was born from a desire to create more than a holiday. A space that feels like deep rest and real return.
Your body comes home.
You start to hear yourself again.
You feel present.
These retreats are intentionally crafted to feel both sacred and grounded.
Expansive and safe. You’ll be guided through a journey of metamorphosis - through release, clarity, realignment. with enough spaciousness to actually land.
So many of us are operating in survival mode and calling it “fine”.
Over-functioning, overthinking, overgiving.
The Butterfly Effect was created as an immersion where you don’t have to hold it all.
A space where you can simply be, simply feel, and simply unfold, so that you can reconnect to the divine , and remember your light within.
