About this Retreat
Your Guides
I’m Jenn and I cannot wait to welcome you to Greece. I’ve been teaching Pilates and yoga for 8 years and guiding people through movement that feels strong, free, and connected. This retreat is extra special because it’s my fifth retreat and each one just gets better and better.
I’ll be guiding you through Mat Pilates, yoga, breathwork, and those soulful moments that remind you why you said YES to yourself. I create retreats with love, joy, and so much intention, because I know how powerful it is to step away from everyday life and come back home to yourself.
You don’t need to be “ready” or “perfect” to join me, you just need to come with an open heart. We’re going to move, laugh, explore, and share moments that will stay with you long after we leave the retreat.
My connection to Greece began almost three decades ago. The first time I stepped onto the island, it felt like my whole body exhaled. The colours, the water, the pace of life, the people — something in me knew I was meant to return. I fell in love not only with the beauty of the island, but with how it made me feel. Grounded. Alive. Present.
For years, I carried this quiet knowing that one day I would bring people here in a mindful, intentional way. A place this special needed to be shared in a way that honoured its energy — through movement, wellness, connection, and the magic of slowing down.
Creating a retreat in Greece is my way of bringing that first feeling back to life for others. The softness of the mornings, the clarity of the water, the depth of the sunsets — they open something inside you. My vision is to guide guests into that same experience of awakening, peace, and pure presence that this island offered me so many years ago.
Greece changed me. And now it’s the backdrop where I help others reconnect to themselves, reset their nervous system, and experience the kind of renewal that stays with you long after you return home. You can check me out on Instagram " Jennsplace1 "
I can’t wait to hug you in Greece..

LIVING DELICIOUSLY WELLNESS TOUR — ZAKYNTHOS, GREECE
The first time I came to Zakynthos, something shifted inside me. I fell in love with the island — the colors, the water, the light, the way everything felt slower, softer, and more alive. I remember thinking, people need to experience this. Greece awakened a part of me I didn’t even know had dimmed, and I left feeling inspired, grounded, and full again. This retreat was born from that feeling.
From there, I created the Living Deliciously Wellness Tour — a retreat designed to bring you the perfect balance of movement, adventure, and deep restoration. Each day includes Yoga, Pilates, mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, and evening sound baths to strengthen your body and calm your nervous system. Everything is offered at an all-levels approach, meeting you exactly where you are.
Off the mat, you’ll explore the very things that made me fall in love with this place:
beach days at iconic turquoise bays, a daytime boat trip to hidden coves, and island outings that connect you to Greece’s natural beauty and culture.
Meals are another highlight, with fresh, vibrant, local cuisine chosen to nourish you and spark joy in the simplest, most delicious way.
My greatest hope is that you come to Greece and feel what I felt — that you return home lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself. Greece has a way of waking you up from the inside out, filling you with inspiration again.
This is not just a retreat.
It is a remembering — of who you are, how good life can feel, and what it means to truly live deliciously.
