Pixie has a true gift for magnetizing authentic people who value both connection and their inner-life. The retreats she puts on balance challenging workouts with downtime, adventurous excursions, breathwork, and group dinners. At the end of each day, I'm fulfilled and grateful for all the new experiences, revelations, and great conversations I've had. This year marks my 4th retreat with Pixie, first attending one in 2018. I can't imagine NOT having gone on that first retreat, as it brought me down a different path in life. Definitely go if you're feeling the pull!

I didn’t know what to expect when my oldest daughter (27) suggested I accompany her on Pixie’s Sweat and Serve Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica. I decided it would make a wonderful mother-daughter trip, so I also brought along my younger daughter (17). What a beautiful and indelible experience. It was a week in paradise that challenged me physically, stretched me emotionally, and awakened something deeper within. Between the jungle and the ocean, I found stillness of mind and heart, somatic release, dynamic fitness, wild adventure, nourishing food, deep rest, and the freedom to let go of what no longer served me. It was soul-searching and soul-filling all at once, leaving me feeling more alive, more present, and more fully myself. It was an incredible experience for each of my daughters in her own unique way, and truly indescribable for our relationship as women in different ages and stages of life. Pixie is amazing. She is the special sauce, the magic that so authentically flavors and binds together the people, the experiences, and the spirit of the retreat. I felt deeply seen and supported by her and by every retreat participant who so generously shared their lives, their hearts, and their minds. Each person was a gift and a testament to the compassion, generosity, and extraordinary resilience of the human spirit. I left with a full heart, lasting memories, and a deep sense of gratitude and I would absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone seeking connection, renewal, and just a wonderful time! 🩷 Mama

I’ve been on a number of retreats, and this one was truly exceptional. First, I want to talk about Pixie. She is a beautiful human being who genuinely cares about people. You can feel it. I felt it in our conversations, in the way she shared herself so openly, and in the way she created a space where everyone felt welcome. At the same time, she deeply respected those who weren’t ready or able to share, never forcing vulnerability. That balance is a gift. It was also obvious how much she cares about Costa Rica, the people at the resort, and the local culture. Watching the relationships she has built there added another layer of authenticity to the entire experience. From an organizational standpoint, everything was seamless. From the airport shuttles to our daily schedule, to organizing our final dinner off the resort, every detail was thoughtfully planned. Even when the spin studio equipment unexpectedly failed, Pixie pivoted and secured another space so we didn’t miss our workout. The WhatsApp communication was perfect…we always knew where we needed to be and what the plan was. Then the YOGA….I’ve taken a lot of yoga classes over the years, and Pixie’s classes were my absolute favourite!! She explains every pose so clearly, using props like blocks to help you truly understand proper alignment. I especially loved the HIIT intervals she incorporated into the flow. The way the entire room moved together to the music felt almost like we were all flowing through “molasses” & in complete sync. It was such a unique and unforgettable experience!!! I was drenched! The ATV adventure and catamaran excursion were honestly a 20/10. They weren’t just activities…they became some of my favourite memories from the week. Having Cass there was the icing on the cake. Cass has been one of my favourite strength and cycle instructors since I met her over 5 years ago. She brings incredible energy, knowledge, and heart to everything she teaches. Watching Cass and Pixie lead together was inspiring, and they complemented each other beautifully. The opening and closing ceremonies were another highlight. It was clear how much intention and preparation went into creating them. They were intimate, emotional, and exactly what our group needed. I also really appreciated the care agreements that were established at the beginning of the retreat. I’ve never experienced that on another retreat, and it created a safe, respectful container. I’m blown away by the beauty of the location, the connections I made, and the overall experience. It came into my life at exactly the right time, and I’ll be carrying the lessons and friendships with me forever. Thank you, Pixie and Cass, for creating something so incredibly special. I can’t wait to come again!!

This wasn't my first retreat, which means I know something most first-timers don't. The magic doesn't just happen. It takes Pixie months of planning, constant pivoting, holding space, anticipating needs before anyone knows they have them, and pouring herself into every detail so everyone else can simply arrive. I've watched her create these experiences many times before, and every time I'm reminded that what she's really curating isn't an just a fun itinerary. It's safety. The kind of safety that lets people laugh harder than they may ever have. Cry unapologetically. Push themselves past their fears. Rest without guilt. And share pieces of themselves with people who were strangers just days before. Yes, Costa Rica was breathtaking. The movement challenged me. Cassidy was the perfect complement, bringing her own warmth, wisdom, and energy. The food nourished us. The jungle grounded us. And mama ocean humbled us. But what I'll remember most is the feeling. The feeling of being held. Of belonging. Of remembering that wellness isn't just about how strong your body feels. It's about how safe your nervous system feels. How deeply you can exhale. How fully you can be yourself. That's what I came home with. And after enough retreats, I know that's not something you stumble into. It's built with intention, devotion, and an extraordinary amount of love. Pixie, thank you. Thank you for creating spaces where we felt safe enough to soften, brave enough to grow, and connected enough to remember we're never meant to do this life alone. That is a rare gift. And I don't take it for granted. My heart is so full. Thank you for sharing yours with all of us. Teri~

Pixie’s retreats are some of the best I’ve been on - and this is coming from someone who has been on hundreds of retreats all over the world. She creates a space that is at all once expansive, inviting, playful, invigorating, restorative, reflective, adventurous, transformative, and nurturing. Community and heart are at the soul of everything. Infinitely grateful for the connections forged - on retreat and beyond. Highly recommended!
