“Evangeline is such a supportive and intuitive facilitator. You really tap into a bit of all areas over the course of 3 days - from yoga, hiking, healthy food, and intuitive workshops. I left the retreat feeling more connected with myself, others, and more aligned. It was encouraging to be surrounded by other women, sharing healthy practices in a supportive way. I recommend the retreat to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves, others, or just take a breather from the busyness of life. Evangeline creates a beautiful, welcoming, & nourishing space!”

This has been a common question, and the average age from my past retreats has been women ages 25—65.
Having this wide age-range has been a truly incredible thing for me to witness. It’s allowed the women to learn from one another, share life experiences, offer perspective, & deepen the feeling of community. Seeing women 10+ years apart in age become friends has been a gift to witness!
Because my retreats incorporate yoga, pilates, & hiking they typically attract women who are physically active, who love to move, or who are desiring to move their bodies more. Please feel free to join us if you fall outside of the above age range!
And while our retreats are active, there is plenty of time for rest, solo time, & relaxation.
My goal for the Waves of Joy retreat is for you to leave feeling re-energized, joyful, & renewed!
Why join us?
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
you’re craving time to yourself; a chance to nourish your body & soul, to feel rested, re-energized, & renewed.
you desire a chance to step away from the busyness of life, to lay down your responsibilities, to feel reinvigorated with your life.
you’re aching for deeper connection; a community of like-minded women, a space you can feel welcomed & accepted into as you are.
you love exploring new places; wandering cute downtown streets, popping into shops & bookstores, sitting in a cafe, forever romanticizing life’s simple pleasures.
This retreat is a weekend getaway to nourish your body & soul, explore Martha’s Vineyard, experience authentic connection with other women, & feel re-energized with life!
YOU’RE READY TO:
soak in stunning ocean views.
regulate your nervous system.
move your body mindfully.
hike along scenic coastal trails.
tap into your creative energy.

explore the rich history & scenery of the island.
wander into cute boutiques, cafes, & bookstores.

About Evangeline:
I’m happy you’re here! I’m a group Fitness Instructor (yoga + Pilates), a Retreat Host, and a Hiking Guide, living on the south shore of Massachusetts with my husband & our many house-plants.
I studied Sustainable Agriculture & Business in college, have worked on a number of farms over the years, and have danced since a young age. I’ve always felt deeply connected with the earth, with movement, and by being in authentic relationship with others.
I find meaning in helping others to feel connected, present, and alive to their lives, and believe one of the best ways to experience this is through movement, being out in nature, and learning to trust your intuition.
I believe that if you’re reading this right now, we were meant to cross paths, even if for a brief moment in time. Born in Massachusetts & raised around the globe (my parents were missionaries & travel-lovers), I’ve learned that self-compassion, authentic connection, and gratitude are vital pieces to finding joy and meaning in this world.
This upcoming retreat on Martha’s Vineyard is all about guiding YOU to connect more deeply with yourself, to connect authentically with others, and to experience more joy in your daily life.
In 2024, after almost a decade working in a corporate role as a Director of Training Programs & Events, the universe gave me a nudge, and I went all in on trusting myself, listening to my intuition, and building a business that felt aligned.
Since beginning my entrepreneurial journey in 2024 I’ve led countless fitness classes, guided hikes, and community-building workshops. In May 2025 I hosted my first women’s retreat in New Hampshire (!), and in August of 2025 I began renting out a studio space to work with clients in-person for Energy Healing, Aura Cleansing, and Chakra Balancing.
Leading a retreat on Martha’s Vineyard has been on my heart for some time now, and I’m so excited to guide you on a journey of connection, movement, joyfulness, and community!
Interested in joining us?? Put down a deposit today on your room of choice (see rooms above!). Payment Plans available in 2-or-3 installments, just shoot me an email.
