I had an absolutely incredible time at the retreat in Virginia this past August! It was a truly rejuvenating experience where women from all walks of life came together for a week of relaxation, connection, and self-care.
From sunrise yoga and meditation to breathwork, sound baths, and creative crafts, every moment was thoughtfully curated for deep renewal. The nourishing meals and beautifully prepared snacks were a delightful treat, fueling our days of swimming, kayaking, and peaceful canoeing down the river. Evenings were filled with warmth—both from the perfectly built fire and the laughter that echoed around it.The balance of structured activities and quiet, personal time made it the perfect getaway for everyone. It was exactly what I needed, and I left feeling completely refreshed.
I can’t wait to join you again in Puerto Rico this December! Thank you for an unforgettable week of serenity and joy!

Lora led my first sound bath and it was an amazing experience. She has a real gift for healing and amazing energy that is contagious. She made me feel comfortable and provided the guidance I needed. She has a sincere passion for the practice and compassion for others, and it shows!

Everything was magical from start to end. It embodied all aspects of emboldened empowerment I needed as I navigated through a challenging time of transformation.
Every moment of this retreat from the food to the mindfulness and reflection, the relationships established, the deep belly laughs and the best sleep I have had in quite a long time. Magic.
Lora is truly an inspiration, igniting a well of fuel within me which I continue to use to harness the insurgence of confidence, knowledge of well-being, and gratitude.
I was blown away with the personalized experience, Lora’s attention to detail, down to the minute, left you feeling seen, heard and heart full to the brim.
The retreat provided excellent and diverse meals, excursions, free time, and the opportunity to connect, learn and grow in a safe space while also leaning into vulnerability and sisterhood!
We all came together that week as strangers and left as a tribe. It was truly an honor to spend time with such a diverse group of boss babe confident women.
I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into preparing this retreat and can absolutely validate the passion felt in every aspect of it.
Thank you, Lora and Soulshine Wellness & Retreats, for this wonderful experience I NOW have to look forward to every year!

As I've been on a spiritual journey over the last few years, I never experienced anything quite like this.... Lora introduced me to the calming and soothing percussion of a sound bath. The waves of sound poured over me and melted me to my core. I can't wait for another session!

5 Star Review!
Working with Lora has been truly transformative. I came to her struggling with past relationship trauma and PTSD, feeling lost and defeated. Through her coaching, powerful sound baths, guided meditations, and meaningful rituals, I've been able to cut ties with the past, heal deep wounds, and finally learn to love myself. Though I live in Minnesota and Lora is in Virginia, we were able to work and meet virtually through face time which I am so thankful for!
The retreat was the cherry on top – an amazing experience meeting other beautiful people each on their own journey and phases in life. We practiced yoga together daily, found ourselves in deep meditations, had some amazing connections to Spirit and even opened the retreat with a potent new moon ritual! Lora has helped me rediscover my strength and realize that I am safe. I am eternally grateful for her guidance and highly recommend Lora and Soulshine Wellness & Retreats!

I had the opportunity to go on the retreat to Chesapeake Bay. Everything was planned out thoroughly but we also had free time. As a group we meditated, yoga, sound healing, dined, made crafts, group discussions. We also had time to chill or kayak or whatever we wanted to do. It was a great time getting to know other ladies. Going on a trip with other people that I don’t know is totally out of my comfort zone but it was worth it. Everyone was so loving and made the trip awesome. Something you rarely get with other women. We all left with new friendships and a new perspective on life and what strength is within ourselves. Lora was a great hostess and leader on this retreat. Her knowledge of these healing arts was unexpected. Thank you ladies for a great time and thank you Lora for your guidance and leadership. Love you all!!
