Take Me To ParadiseHear what others have experienced...
Attending the Empowering Experience Retreat was life-changing! From the moment I arrived, I felt supported, nourished, and completely at ease. The location was breathtaking, the accommodation luxurious, and every detail of the program felt thoughtfully designed.
The yoga, meditation, and workshops helped me reconnect with my body and mind, and I left feeling lighter, more energized, and more aligned with my inner self. The shared experiences, like the cacao ceremony and time spent in nature, were unforgettable.
Kat’s guidance is inspiring...gentle, nurturing, and deeply insightful. I feel more confident, centered, and empowered in both my daily life and my personal journey. I didn’t want to leave.

This retreat was an extraordinary experience! I loved being fully immersed in the local culture—visiting villages, learning from the community, and experiencing traditions that I’ll never forget. Every day was full of surprises and moments of wonder.
Sharing laughter and joy with the children at the local school was priceless, and the partner yoga on the SUPs had me laughing until my cheeks ached. The food, the ceremonies, and the breathtaking surroundings all nourished my body, mind, and soul.
Kat’s guidance is warm, thoughtful, and inspiring. I left feeling invigorated, inspired, and ready to return to my life armed with the superpowers to handle anything. Truly, I feel like I can never let a good disaster go to waste!

Kat Finnerty
My name is Kat Finnerty. I’m a best-selling author, yoga, health and wellness instructor, nutritionist, speaker, MS advocate and mum of three. I’ve been lucky enough to work as a retreat facilitator/motivator for the Food Matters/Gaia Network, the largest transformational network in the world (2 million + followers).
When I was 24 I began experiencing the devastating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. I was told I’d probably end up in a wheelchair by the time I was 40. But despite enduring years of debilitating attacks, I managed to reverse nearly all my symptoms and go into long-term remission.
I attribute a large part of this journey to a radical change in mindset. I call it a counter-intuitive approach to happiness. Instead of constantly pursuing my wants and desires, I focused on mastering my disasters. This allowed me to short-cut my way back to happiness and break out of my cycle of suffering.
And the good news is, you can do this too, given the right guidance & tools.
My retreats are where the magic happens - they offer you a chance to break free of the daily grind and learn the life hacks to reset your brain to bring more peace, joy and contentment into your life.
And it all starts with my 12 Principles to become a ‘Master of Disaster’.
“Your past pain is your greatest strength waiting to be unlocked.” — Kat Finnerty
