This is the story of how two women living in Bali long term with a shared dream connected, blending our unique skills to launch a new retreat company. Born out of a passion for wellness and a love of travel, Lakai Retreats is crafting a unique container for elevating physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our deep respect and appreciation for Bali’s culture, traditions and way of life inspire every aspect of our retreats fostering an authentic and spiritually rich immersive experience.
We are committed to nurturing a supportive and inclusive community within our retreats, where participants can connect, learn, share, grow and feel a sense of belonging. We want to use our gifts to leave you feeling empowered, supported, and renewed.
Together we bring over 10 years of combined experience in facilitating various healing modalities, coupled with expertise in travel and event planning. We believe in the transformative power of retreat that offers more than just a holiday, but revitalizes your path to becoming the highest version of self.
