Our story…
It feels as if we’ve been preparing for Exhale & Explore Experiences our whole lives. Growing up with an English mother, we started traveling at a young age and discovered the magic of exploring new places together. Over the years, we’ve become the best travel buddies, sharing countless adventures filled with laughter, connection, and discovery.
Tanya has spent years co-leading transformative retreats, helping people reconnect, grow, and find clarity. While she’s always loved this work, teaming up with her sister and best friend, Jamy, for this retreat has taken the excitement to a whole new level!
When Jamy became a massage therapist, the dream of blending personal growth, relaxation, and a little fun really began to take shape. Tanya’s expertise in guiding personal transformation paired with Jamy’s healing touch felt like the perfect recipe for a retreat where relaxation, self-growth, and meaningful moments naturally come together.
After months of planning, dreaming, and plenty of laughter along the way, we’re thrilled to share Exhale & Explore Experiences with you. This is more than just a weekend getaway—it’s a chance to recharge, reconnect, and embrace a fresh perspective in a space filled with love, joy, and sisterly fun.
We can’t wait to welcome you and share this one-of-a-kind experience with you!

Our Intention: Growth Through Play
At Exhale & Explore Experiences, we honor the full spectrum of personal growth—acknowledging that while the journey isn’t always easy, it’s also filled with moments of joy and connection. That’s why a core intention of every retreat we host is play. We believe that laughter, fun, and lighthearted adventures are as essential to healing as introspection and personal development.
This year, we’re thrilled to bring you a rollerskating adventure—an activity close to our hearts. Growing up, we spent time in this very area, staying in our family’s log cabin. And one of our favorite memories is of the local roller rink. The moment we think of it, we’re transported back to carefree days filled with fun and laughter.
We’re excited to share that nostalgia with you in the best way possible. For one afternoon, the rink is all ours—a cozy, private space to let loose, embrace your inner kid, and maybe even try something new. Because this weekend isn’t just about growth—it’s about joyfully reconnecting with yourself.
What to Expect
At Exhale & Explore Experiences, you’ll find the perfect balance of relaxation, connection, and meaningful growth—all wrapped in a fun, laid-back weekend. Here’s what you can look forward to:
