Katrina is a solopreneur that loves supporting women to create the career, business, and life that they desire.

She is committed to empowering women to live a balanced life through her anti-coach coaching and consulting practice.

Katrina has harnessed many tools for rest and self-care over two decades; it was only recently that she finally started combining all her experiences to curate a menu for guilt-free rest.

Her love for nature, art, meditation, strength training, self-care practices, and creating community are her inspiration for creating this retreat.

“I always thrived in nature surrounded by color, sound, textures, and smells. I wanted to feel everything, no matter if it was unpleasant or magnificent, I wanted to experience it all.

I am Michelle Nicole Gerrard. I am a poet. An explorer. A brand consultant. Copywriter. Floral lover. Photographer in training. Food stylist. Vegan chef. Being a part of this retreat is such an honor. I am deeply passionate about slow, intentional living and taking time to rest. I believe it is one of the most radical moves we can make in a system that promotes constant production and movement.

The nourishment I provide is an ode to poetry, love and rest. A celebration of all the tiny, beautiful and uncomplicated things. Tailored to linger on your memory, leaving intoxicating flavors and an uncanny feeling of warmth.

I cannot wait to be part of nurturing you. “
