The spirit behind our retreat

At Wellness in Bloom, I’m deeply committed to supporting and uplifting other women-owned and operated businesses.

From our cycling tour company and select wineries to the Lake on the Mountain Resort, the cholocate tasting experience and the travel agent I’ve partnered with, I believe in the creativity, expertise, and heart of women entrepreneurs.

When you join a retreat, you’re not just nourishing your soul—you’re also helping to sustain and celebrate the work of these incredible women. Together, we’re creating ripples of empowerment, collaboration, and shared success.

Frequently asked questions

  • Absolutely!  I commend you for your courage in be willing to try something new and listening to the nudge that is calling you to register for this wellness adventure in ‘the County’.

  • Yes!  If you are feeling called to attend you may find that in being able to solely focus on Self you may experience even greater benefits of a weekend away. You are sure to make some lovely new connections!  

  • Yes, please bring comfy clothes, so you can dress in layers depending on the weather. Pack some comfortable and supportive shoes for walking and biking, a water resistant jacket for biking, a few dressier outfits for our evening out and brunch. Please also pack your journal, and a small pillow and light blanket for the yoga practices. Yoga mats and props will be provided.

  • That won’t be a problem, please just be sure to let me know what you need.  The venues chosen have chefs who are very accommodating. 

  • Please let me know what injury you are experiencing, as a physiotherapist I am well equipped to offer you modifications or alternative rest poses.  The yoga practice is gentle and completely optional.

  • The retreat participant numbers will be a maximum of 20 people if couples book the solo cottages.

  • That is completely natural and understandable to feel nervous and at the same time curious to try something new. Sometimes the hesitation is being together with a group of people you don’t know well. I can assure you, my retreats attract lovely open-hearted and welcoming people just like you.

  • This retreat is built around practices that directly support your nervous system: daily yoga and yoga nidra to restore rest, breathwork to regulate stress, and intentional movement through a guided cycling tour through the countryside.

    Throughout the experience, you’ll be invited to slow down and savour mindfully—whether it’s a glass of wine, a shared meal, or the natural beauty around you—helping you reconnect with presence, pleasure, and a deeper sense of calm.

    Being in nature, away from your regular environment, and in a small group of a maximum of 18 creates the kind of conditions for genuine rest that are hard to replicate at home.

    Catharine is a Registered Physiotherapist as well as a yoga and breathwork teacher, so all practices are adapted to where you are physically — no prior experience needed. Most participants describe leaving with a clearer head, better sleep in the days that follow, and a sense of having genuinely recharged.



  • September is one of the most beautiful times to visit Prince Edward County. Expect mild to warm daytime temperatures (typically 18–24°C), cooler evenings that are perfect for a light sweater, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

    Our retreat takes place during harvest season, when vineyards are buzzing with activity and the County begins to show hints of autumn colour. It's an ideal time for cycling, nature walks, outdoor dining, wine tastings, and simply slowing down to savour the season.

    While occasional rain showers are possible, September is generally known for its pleasant temperatures, sunny days, and beautiful golden light—making it one of the most popular times of year to experience Prince Edward County.

  • You could fly into Toronto or Ottawa International and drive to the County. Please let me know if you’d like assistance with travel arrangements and my travel consultant and I will assist.

  • Absolutely! I am happy to connect you with other attendees to suggest ride-sharing for those coming from the same area.
