Hi! I’m Charmaine. I’m so excited you’re exploring the idea of Bali!
I’m a trauma informed breathwork facilitator, teacher, speaker and embodiment coach who’s walked a long and winding path of healing from chronic burnout and finding myself again. I may also be known for my hearty laugh and being a bit of an over-the-top doggie momma ;)
By reconnecting to my breath and body (ie. breathwork + embodiment), I’ve found the vehicles to reclaim a felt sense of freedom, safety, inner peace, self-connection and joy within.
I believe that when we restore this essential connection and deepen our relationship with our bodies and breath, we come into deeper alignment with our innate wholeness, others, nature and spirit. We unlock our inner power and create the conditions for true presence and thriving.
At heart, I’m a globetrotting adventurer with a passion for bridging cultures and creating spaces for healing and growth. I bring over 25 years of coaching and facilitation experience across different sectors. I’ve led several groups internationally, have lived overseas, and travelled to close to 50 countries. I bring deep compassion, authenticity and passion to my work.
Creating a transformational retreat in Bali has been a dream, and I’m excited to share it with you!

My dear friend Natasha and I started talking about how amazing it would be to host a Retreat in Bali the moment we stepped foot on the Island of the Gods back in 2018! Anyone who's been will tell you that it's not just the amazing beaches, flavourful food, breathtaking scenery, and warm kindness of its people. Bali has a spiritually grounding essence and serenity that seeps through your pores, and leaves you changed forever… We’re delighted to breathe life into this dream with you! a once in a lifetime experience.

I remember my first solo trip internationally. I was on a backpacking trip to Thailand and felt very nervous and so excited. Not to worry, before we leave for Bali we will have our new community of friends in a private Facebook group, so everyone can get to know each other, before the retreat even begins. With our private Facebook group, there may be opportunities to coordinate flights with one another, so you may be able to fly with one or more pals.
-
For sure!! We’d love to connect with you. Please email Charmaine @ charmaine@charmainerenee.ca with your questions. Charmaine or Natasha will either answer your questions if they are straightforward or if you prefer, be in touch with you to organise a chat.

Airport transfers are included. You’re responsible for securing your return flights to Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar. Travel insurance is highly recommended.

You will spend 8 glorious nights at the enchanting Floating Leaf Exo Luxury Retreat. Each day will be a new experience/ceremony/activity along with some healing workshops sprinkled throughout. I feel the itinerary we’ve created for us will be the perfect balance of activities and personal time.

Absolutely! Plus, all activities and adventures are optional. This retreat is all about listening to what you most need and nurturing YOU, so you go with whatever your heart is desiring!
