Download the journal for the Wellness Retreat here

I’m so excited to share something truly special with you — ✨ The Journey Through My Chakras ✨, a sacred space for reflection, transformation, and self-discovery. 🌺

This journal was born from the heart of our upcoming Wellness Retreat in Cuba, but I felt called to make it free for everyone — whether you’re joining us in person or simply gifting yourself seven days of rest, renewal, and reconnection. 🌞

Inside these pages, you’ll discover:

🪷 Mindful reflections and journaling prompts to illuminate each chakra — guiding you to understand your emotions, release energetic blocks, and restore balance from within.
🎨 Creative and spiritual exercises like mandala painting, the Fibonacci meditation, a vision board for your future self, and the Ikigai life purpose practice — all designed to awaken your inner wisdom and creative flow.
💫 Heart-opening rituals and chakra activation checklists that help you align your thoughts, emotions, and actions with your highest vibration.
💖 Daily affirmations and ancient mantras that nourish your spirit and help you manifest from a place of peace, clarity, and self-love.

By walking through this journey, you’ll feel more grounded, creative, confident, open-hearted, expressive, intuitive, and connected — a full-body, mind, and soul realignment.

It’s more than just a journal — it’s a sacred companion, a mirror to your soul, and a roadmap to your inner light.

🌀 Whether you’re at home, traveling, or preparing for your next spiritual adventure, let this be your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your essence.

With infinite love and light,
