ARIEL GALIPEAU
“Evangeline’s presence is like a warm hug, she invites you in whether it’s your first meeting or your fortieth. Her gift is her presence. She is curious, listens deeply, and cares for the amazing community she is building. Will absolutely be taking part in everything Evangeline does going forward. This year I am committed to investing in people and places that fill my cup and this is one of them!”
-
CASSANDRA JADE
“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 came in on the first day unsure of my next steps, feeling depleted, and 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 business of life. Evangeline creates a beautiful, welcoming, and nourishing space!”
why join us at retreat?
The simple truth is that we’re meant to experience a life of joy. It ebbs and flows, yes, just like the waves… ~ ~ ~
but joy is there; shimmering under the surface, waiting to be felt, seen, expressed.
JOY often lives in the seemingly little moments of our lives, in the interactions with people we love, in the day’s stillness as we sip on our morning coffee or gaze out the window at the changing sky. JOY swirls throughout our energetic body as we gaze warmly into someone’s eyes, when we’re wrapped in the arms of someone we love, when we bury our bare feet in the sand, when that song comes on that you just HAVE TO get up and dance to.
The WAVES OF JOY retreat is here to remind you that you DESERVE to feel joy. Joy is an innate part of being alive, of feeling connected to yourself, trusting yourself, feeling satisfied, living a life that feels FULL.
We’re blessed with one life. Just one.
Deeply connect with your inner-joy during this retreat, transforming yourself through connection, movement, creativity, and exploration.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF YOU’RE READY TO:
regulate your nervous system
move your body
tap into your creative energy
explore the rich history & culture of the island
spend hours wandering into cute boutiques, cafes, & shops
deeply connect with other women
be reminded of what makes you joyful
feel renewed
surround yourself with healing ocean vibes
be surrounded by community
have your cup filled up
This retreat is all about nourishing your body and embracing what fills you up with joy!

No experience in Yoga or Pilates is necessary, at all. All I ask is that you have a desire to treat your body with love & nourishment during this retreat <3
All levels are welcome, from the beginner to the more experienced student. I LOVE introducing people to yoga and Pilates, and you’ll find all of my flows accessible, and designed for all body types.
The “yoga-lates” flows will be created thoughtfully and with intention, with all skill-levels in mind, and inclusive to every body.
The focus of our movement sessions will be on deepening your connection to your own body, with an emphasis on strength and mobility.
Alternative poses will always be offered, and we’ll use props like blocks to allow us to sink deeper into our practice.
Expect to end each session feeling grounded, connected, and energized!
Hi, I’m evangeline!
I’m happy you’re here! I’m a Wellness Practitioner, a Fitness Instructor, a Retreat Host, and a Hiking Guide. 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 trusting 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), I’ve learned that self-compassion, authentic connection, and gratitude are vital parts of finding joy and meaning in this world.
Through this upcoming retreat on Martha’s Vineyard, my focus is on guiding YOU 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!
