A retreat is as individual as you are. Together we will customize a program that best fits you to help you achieve your personal goals, or just to get away in Hawaii. The following programs, Lifestyle Retreats, Lifestyle Sports Training Retreats, or Triathlon Haven will give you a place to start.
Lifestyle Multiple Sports Training Retreat:
Taking it to the next level? Offered anytime of year for athletes interested in breaking through their physical or mental wall. Or for those who want to enjoy the magical healing of the Big Island Hawaii while doing what you already love.
Designed for those who are just getting into a sport and feel the lifestyle change already as a new found passion, or for those who have been in the sport for a while and want to find passion and enjoyment to improve both mentally and physically within the sport and in your daily life.
Activities for this retreat can include training your mind to relax with
- A trip to a Honaunau: a place hundreds of years old, yet beautifully restored. Puuhonua Honaunau remains one of Hawaii’s most sacred historic places.
- Swimming along the magnificent reef with the ease of beautiful fish and sea life, many times to be joined by dolphins. This swim replaces the task of lane lines in a pool with a feeling of moving effortlessly in the water.

Lifestyle Retreat
Creating the a lifestyle net: Retreat for those ready to make a leap in life or business but haven’t created a safety net. Jt works with you to create a net of confidence and actionable steps to move forward.
Learn from someone who completed 9 Ironmans (2 Hawaii World Championships) after realizing at age 32 she did not know how to swim. Facing her fears helped her to successfully face great challenges, start her own businesses since age 24 and move to Hawaii to live her dream.
Jt will teach you how to say no to being comfortable and yes to creating a life you are passionate about. Deciding to make a location change, career change or a lifestyle change takes courage. Creating your net of support is key to success.
Learn to
• Accept and anticipate change
• Find balance
• Create abundance
• Define your dream life, invent your life story and start living it
• See how you really spend your time now
• Say no to what you don’t want to do and yes to what you really want to do
• Step out of your comfort zone (way out)
In addition to working with Jt, activities may include
• Swimming amidst coral reef, the magic of sea life and even with the dolphins.
• Creating a yoga practice
• Meditation
• Hiking
• Massage
• Snorkeling
• Boogie boarding
If you aren’t doing what you want to be doing right now, you haven’t built a net to support your leap into the life you want to live. Choose change over settling. Choose change over comfort. The right time is right now to start living life your way.
Pricing starts at $195 per night with a 4 night minimum stay
