Artful Thinking: Coaching & Retreats

Why did I not do this years ago???? I have always wanted to go on a vacation like this but never found anyone to go with. So I finally just went by myself! My first solo trip. I was pretty nervous...... Well, it was by far the best trip of my entire life. Such a great host. Such great people (also travelling alone) and such a beautiful experience. This entire week and the effect it has had on my life is priceless.

The "Madly in Love with Me" retreat by Rachael Charlton was the best retreat I have ever been on, and I have been on many. This retreat was based in Nosara, Costa Rica 2019. It was magical and so very soulful. The power of many woman and men gathering together for the purpose and reminder of 'falling in love with yourself' is what this retreat was all about.

Besides making new forever friends, I was in need of taking a serious break, and this retreat was just that. I left feeling grounded, recharged and ready to tackle the world. Thank you Rach!

Rachael, you are an inspiration, great life coach and I will forever be grateful for your guidance through our intense open sessions, yoga practice, sunset meetings and the laughter and love as we all sat together for every meal listing and watching as the howler monkeys watched us eat. Great memories I will cherish forever.

I highly recommend anyone who wants a reminder that YOU are important to give Artful Thinking a call! You will be so happy you did.

I recently went on Rachael's "Madly in love with me" retreat in Costa Rica and found the experience to be life-changing. Rachael has an incredible ability in guiding us to open up, discover who we are and to heal and grow. I also enjoyed her yoga classes, where I gained a stronger understanding of the poses and had fun with the more challenging flows.

Rachael is a thoughtful and caring retreat leader and coach. I'm continuing to work with her after the retreat, where she has been a source of strength and wisdom for me. The exercises she has taught me has been a game changer in how I manage my anxiety and depression. I highly recommend Rachael to anyone who is on the road to self-discovery.

One year ago today I was in Panama at the "Madly In Love with Me" Yoga Retreat hosted by Rachael. I had no idea how life-changing that experience would be. That week gave me the quiet and introspective opportunity to look inside and (a) confront how frustrated and unhappy I was with a life that was not working + (b) believe I had the power actually do something about it.

I left empowered with a self-love I desperately needed, motivated and confident in my own abilities to enact change and growth for my own self. I had no idea that retreat would lead to me quitting my job, traveling around the globe and moving to Mexico, where I sit now. I was just off for a nice little soul-nurturing yoga vacation. I absolutely got that, but what I didn't expect was that it would also be an inspiring catalyst that set a huge chain of events into motion. The retreat lighted a fire inside me and helped me take the wild leaps I'd dreamed of for years but hadn't been quite brave enough to act on. I'll be eternally grateful to Rachel for the incredible soul journey she crafted: it was exactly what I needed!

The power of self-love has taken me places I'd never imagined are possible. Believing in ME empowered me to craft a life I finally feel proud of and excited to be living. One year after the retreat my life is radically different and 10x more fulfilling. I've been living with more heart and soul ever since I left.

If you're at all considering the Madly In Love With Me retreat: DO IT! There is literally no one who won't benefit from a self-love boost and a fabulous vacation! You have no idea what could happen in your life when you're empowered to believe in YOU.

Just returned from a retreat in Costa Rica. Rachael was amazing to work with, the way she pulled a group of strangers together. She is organized and a great yoga instructor. The workshops were well thought out and challenging. I am healing from a recent breakup and this was just what I needed. She is very empathetic and attuned to the needs of her group. Very intuitive woman! Thanks for a life changing week.
