The PWC retreat changed me. I feel like I was walking around with a blind-fold on and on each day of the retreat it was slowly being removed. After leaving the retreat, I have a greater sense of purpose and of who I am. I wake up everyday filled with an immense feeling of joy and gratitude. I am eternally grateful to Akoya and all the PWC teachers who, through their unique practices , all participated in sending me back out into the world with a renewed love of life!

Whenever I work with Vanessa, I am both inspired and encouraged to learn more about myself and accept where I am in my journey. She is incredibly insightful and provides tangible exercises that help me to better understand my reactions and improve my connections. She serves as a true role model given her own unique path. I have grown so much by having her in my life.
