“It’s kind of wild how this retreat opportunity came into my life through a mutual friend. I did not know or follow anyone who was involved. My friend invited me and connected me with Elle. I live a bit of a different lifestyle and upon finding out that the food was plant based I was immediately open to attending. While I’m on that subject….the food was INCREDIBLE!!! The chef that prepared the food is an absolute GODDESS and divine professional! My needs were certainly met in that department! My friend and I shared a room which was so private n so comfortable and beautiful with our own bathroom and the home had an amazing sauna that I absolutely loved! We had some soft yoga that my body definitely needed and some other amazing plant medicine ceremonies that were guided by very wise and gentle women who made everything feel safe and comfortable for our small intimate group. It was everything that I didn’t know I needed and so much more. The entire experience was completely satisfying and I will definitely do this again!” - Theresa H.

“Seeking sisterhood? 

Play, rest, connection, nourishment for the body, mind & soul? 

Soul Return was a breath of fresh air - if only it lasted longer! What a treat to be with such lovely ladies for a weekend where we could be ourselves fully & authentically… a place where it’s safe to be seen & heard & everyone is embraced with open arms & unconditional love. 

Community & sisterhood are a medicine that I’ve been needing & feeling the call for more recently. This was just what the witch doctor ordered - until next time - so much gratitude 🙏🏼💗💫” - Kelly N.

“Elle reached out to me via Instagram. I think she found me through Threads. She holds circles and sisterhood retreats, and she really did feel like a “thread” that connects people. She has built and created such a beautiful community.

The first time I went to the Emerald Circle I knew I was totally meant to be there.

I even saw women who I knew in real life and who I’ve connected previously with online.

We are definitely all mirrors of each other, and she is such an inspiration she was another remembrance for me to use my voice and speak my truth no matter how hard it is. 

There was something in her that awoke something in me. I attended one of her cacao ceremonies and we had a beautiful dance party at the end. I love dancing and moving my body. It was exactly what I needed and the other ladies that were there felt like home.

So much moved and transformed for me and I give gratitude for that

Thank you, Elle. I can’t wait to see where this divine life takes you and I’m excited to be witnessing and to a part of it.” - Colette C.

“I was connected to Elle through a mutual friend on FB and I am so grateful to have found each other. 

I have been craving sisterhood since starting my healing journey almost 5yrs ago. Elle has curated the most beautiful sacred space for us to come together to just BE ourselves, fully and authentically, to step out of our comfort zones and be safe, seen, heard and held. From the moment me and my friend arrived it was magical. Everything from fresh, delicious nourishing food made by her chef Amber, a relaxing mini massage by Warlas, a cacao ceremony, dancing, starting the day with gentle yoga, making oil rollers we got to bring home which I wear mine everyday in remembrance of this beautiful weekend. It felt like luxury from the moment we walked in the front door. There were so many “firsts” for me which makes it an even more unforgettable experience. I definitely look forward to RETURNING 🤍💫 thank you so much for creating this space and commUNITY Elle, and for BEing the heart centered leader that you are🤍💫🪬.” - Kia H. 

“The sisterhood weekend retreat was absolutely incredible!! 

From the whole experience, to the accommodations, the food…

Everything is so thoroughly thought out, and created with so much love. 

As a mom, it’s always hard to plan getaways, so being able to attend a mini retreat, felt like the perfect amount of time to get away and reset.

Beyond feeling a reset this experience truly felt like recharging your energy with so much positivity, while also being able to dive deep into yourself and your healing. 

And as a mom and always caring for others, this really felt like a time where I was being cared for. 

Being able to have such an amazing chef in the retreat and making the absolute best food was one of my favorite things. 

It was honestly incredible to be able to feel and see the difference within myself with eating clean and working on my journey within even a small amount of time. I really felt like I left the experience glowing from the inside out. 

I would highly recommend this to anyone that’s feeling called to joining, and I can’t wait for the next time I’m able to join again.” - Ava

“My weekend at Soul Return Retreats touched me in ways I’m still integrating. It was moving, inspiring, and deeply transformative. From the very beginning, I felt safe enough to soften, to be honest with myself, and to really listen to what my heart had been quietly asking for.

The experience brought me a level of clarity I didn’t know I was missing. I was able to let go of things I’d been holding onto for far too long and reconnect with myself in a meaningful, grounded way. Everything unfolded so intentionally, creating space for reflection, healing, and true presence.

One of the most beautiful parts of this retreat was the women I shared it with. I met the most wonderful souls—women who showed up with openness and authenticity—and who I now genuinely call friends. Those connections made the experience feel even more sacred and lasting.

I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned with who I am and where I’m going. This wasn’t just a weekend away—it was a turning point. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and will carry it with me moving forward. I will for sure be returning for another weekend.” - Michele M.

“I initially traveled to my friend Elle’s retreat to give a workshop on human connection, but I walked away with my own cup completely overflowing. This retreat was an absolute sanctuary of mutual care where I could drop all expectations and simply be my truest self.

I experienced a profound release of emotions and a level of healing that I never could have reached alone, leaving me incredibly nourished.” - Ruperi S.

“Thank you for so many beautiful experiences during the Soul Sisters Retreat. It was truly a soul-soothing, relaxing and rewarding experience. I felt safe, held, and seen.

I felt genuine connections with the other women on the retreat and welcomed into the circle. The food was amazing, the classes and activities meaningful and transformative, and the company delightful.” - Noelle V.

“Elle,

It’s very rare I know of someone who is a female version of myself lol – listening to your podcasts and reading some of your posts just really draw me closer to learning more about your life experiences.

I bet if I hear your full story I might have to convince you to write or publish your story to reach out to an even broader audience (aka a book).

You are the kind of person that I believe as a ‘mover’.

You’re a go-getter. You always have the right intentions for other people and in life because you’ve seen the other side when people take advantage of each other. And have been on the receiving end of that.

You care about a person and not about their status in life. You treat everyone the same. With respect and understanding. You don’t show any bias… don’t prejudge people.

You understand the whole meaning of happiness than most people.” - Ian G.

“Elle is an amazing coach! She coaches you through all the skills you need and helps you put them to use! I am a mother of 3 and she has made me feel so comfortable with my body.

She not only listened to my concerns, but also gave me the best advice and helped me overcome so many fears! If you are looking for someone who will listen to what you have to say, encourage you, motivate you, be your friend, etc. all while keeping you on track to reach YOUR goals, Elle is the coach for you!” - Sidney G.

“Elle is honestly the most amazing person I have met in my life and that is no lie. No one has ever made me feel so confident about myself and has never helped me feel so good about myself and coached me to realize my own worth.

I had such low self esteem before finding Elle and didn’t even know much about my body; she turned that around super quick.

She encouraged me, gave me great advice, and never gave up on me even when I would go against her rules. She is so patient. She knows so much about all aspects of health.

I appreciated that about Elle immensely. She is genuine, caring, and a great friend as well. Her patience and utmost integrity is desirable of a coach you will need to succeed in your journey.

All while caring about YOU and being a great friend, she knows when to kick into coach gear when you need it most.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I am already on my second journey with Elle.

Thank you for your patience, your guidance, and your endless support, Elle.” - Kenzie E.

“This retreat was truly about sisterhood, returning inward, back to my heart, my body, and my spirit. It made me see the parts of myself I had abandoned. It reminded me of who I really am.

I am worthy of care, rest, and love. I don’t even know if I have the right words to describe what this retreat truly meant to me, but I can honestly say, it touched my soul ❤️.

It felt like a world where women remember how to be human again. I was anxious at first, the kind of fear that comes with being around people you don’t know. But the moment I walked through the door, I felt family love.

I felt welcomed, seen, and held. I didn’t have to be anything other than my weird self.

There were so many different activities, and you could feel the love and intention behind every single one. We practiced yoga, we danced like no one was watching 👀, we experienced rapé to ground ourselves, sound healing 😌, guided meditation, tattooing, henna, and a sacred mud ritual.

We talked. We shared. We listened. We cried. Lots of hugs 🥺. We ate together like a family.

And we did what the world sometimes makes us forget is okay—to be vulnerable.

In a world that teaches us to stay strong, stay busy, and stay guarded, this retreat reminded us there is so much power in softness, in letting your emotions breathe. It gave us safety to release it.

I felt honored hearing everyone’s stories 🥺, journeys, their pain, their healing. It felt like each story was a chapter of the same book—one ending, another beginning. Together like a sacred thread.

Our lives were different, but our hearts spoke the same language. As I listened, I felt like every woman gave me something—a lesson, a reflection, a reminder.

A piece of strength. A piece of softness. A piece of truth.

It felt like medicine. That’s what sisterhood truly is. It’s not just women gathering. It’s women healing each other without even trying. Seeing each other. Holding space.

And silently saying, I feel the same way.

When the retreat ended, I honestly didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay in that world—a world where we can dance all night and release everything we’ve been carrying.

A world where we can cry without shame, laugh like little kids, and hug and feel safe.

I left carrying a little piece of each woman with me. I carry their courage in my heart, the sound of their voices, and the moments when they finally allowed themselves to be seen.

I will never forget the gift of being trusted with their truth.

Aho & Namaste 🙏
I truly believe every woman deserves to experience this.

Because as women, we are the roots—and when we nourish the roots, everything grows 🌳.
