“I came to the retreat looking for a way to address my PTSD and get rid of the emotional baggage I’d been carrying. The whole experience, from the time I spent with the priest to the Reiki and cord cutting, helped me leave a lot of that behind. Tri Desna was a real standout for me—It’s amazing how one small thing I saw on TikTok ended up leading me to such a massive journey! I’m still feeling the effects, and I’ve got a new perspective on things, but I know the journey’s ongoing. The holiday wasn’t a silver bullet, but it gave me the tools to keep moving forward, and I’ll carry those with me always.”

“Work burnt me out. I didn’t know how to reset myself and these healings in Bali finally got me to relax. Healing Holidays set everything up for me before I left. I had my list of things I wanted to do and I didn’t have to make the calls or do the bookings myself - I was stressing about this because I havn’t been to Bali or anywhere in Indonesia before. But it was great! I just arrived at my villa and got picked up every day and taken to my next session.”

“I am glad I got to meet you and spend those few days together. Even though I did my research and I booked some of the healing ceremonies myself, having someone there with me, to be able to express what I felt then and there, the raw emotion, it helped, I didn’t feel alone anymore. And without you I wouldn’t have met Iluh and her husband, and I wouldn’t have expected a real, very personal ceremony. I am grateful for all of that. And for taking me to all the places with the yummy food. What adventures we had in the rain! ”

“I left a violent marriage and spent about two years just trying to get my life back together. Things were better but I kept having bad luck, problems one after another. I don’t know, maybe like the evil eye, but I felt like something negative was stuck to me.
I came on the retreat because I wanted to get rid of it all, not just talk about it again. The purification ceremony let me express the pain from the relationship and the breakup, and to receive a water blessing to clear the negativity.”
— Tara, santorini
“I’m a psychologist, and I could feel the impact of secondary trauma building.
I went to Bali for a one-on-one Healing Holidays experience to take time for myself and explore some different modalities. Jade organised everything — translation, currency, bookings — and built plenty of downtime into my itinerary.
It was exactly what I needed to reset and return to my work feeling more grounded and resourced. I never felt rushed and I would recommend this to other professionals working in mental health spaces, particularly those interested in somatic healing.”
