MEET YOUR RETREAT ORGANIZERS
Join Amber Joliat (Dance, Yoga, Pilates and Breathwork Expert) and Danielle Binns (Certified Nutritionist and Wellness Expert) for a 3-day Joyful Retreat for Moms, designed to help parents find calm amidst the chaos, relaxation without distractions, and inner joy that you can bring back into your daily life.
And they are thrilled to meet you!
Amber Joliat is a trained dancer and artist, and has been a teacher of movement for 25+ years. In 2010, she created The Misfitmethod™ out of a desire to move with strength and grace. Her method has been described as a transformative journey of the self, tapping into resilience within each of us. Inspired by the nature of Dance and Breath, rooted in yoga, informed by pilates, and driven by music, each class is an experience. She believes that tapping into joy is a superpower. Especially as a mother of a 3 year old, reclaiming joy has been tremendously healing.
Danielle has been practicing nutrition for over a decade, which started with overcoming PCOS and her daughter’s eating struggles. As a mom of three girls she gets the struggle. Life with an extremely picky eater and stressful mealtimes took the joy out of food for her. Today Danielle helps families around the world transform mealtimes from frustrating to fun, and shows parents how to raise healthy eaters. She also consults companies, schools, runs wellness workshops, and speaks at global conventions.
