Life Changing Experience!

The retreat in Portugal was truly life-changing. From the very first moment at the opening ceremony, my intention was clear: to let go — and under Valérie’s incredible guidance, I was able to do exactly that. The location was absolutely breathtaking, instantly putting me in a state of peace and relaxation. The balance between group sessions and free time was perfect, allowing me to release and reconnect with myself. I often find myself thinking back to that experience, and since then, I’ve discovered a sense of peace and confidence within myself that I never thought possible.

I'm so grateful that I made the decision to invest in myself — without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Valérie is truly exceptional at what she does; her presence makes you feel instantly at ease. I will definitely go back because the experience was magical ✨🥰.

Experiences

Their Transformation, In Their Words

My retreat in the Algarve with Valérie from Buenavida was a warm and deeply special experience that I will carry in my heart forever. 🫶🏼


From the moment I arrived at the idyllic B&B, surrounded by stunning nature and breathtaking views, I felt completely at home. 🌿
The sunrises and sunsets painted each day with a magical glow, bringing a deep sense of peace and stillness. ☀️✨

Valérie guides everything with such love and attentiveness. 💛
Even though we were in a group, every single person felt truly seen and heard. I had previously joined one of her breathwork sessions, but during the retreat I discovered so many new techniques and practices, all offered in a way that allowed me to experience them in my own way. Her calm and warm presence gave me full trust in the process.

And then the atmosphere… sharing cozy breakfasts with a beautiful view, cooking together, deep conversations, and connecting with inspiring souls. ✨
It felt like I had known them for years. Growing, laughing, and sharing together made it even more special. There was so much love, understanding, and genuine connection within the group.

My favorite sessions were the sound healing and chakra balancing.


The deep, healing vibrations of the sound bowls moved through my entire body — a magical experience, amplified by the serene environment. 💆🏼‍♀️
The chakra healing was also one of the most transformative sessions for me. I could feel my energy start to flow again, as if a true inner reset had taken place. ✨

This retreat was a true gift to myself. A pause from the busyness of life — a journey inward.
Thank you, Valérie, for this beautiful experience. I will definitely be back! ❤️🙏
This retreat offered me so much more than just relaxation. It brought insights, clarity, and a deep connection to myself.


Breathwork turned out to be such a powerful tool to reconnect with my essence. It was incredible to feel how it calmed me and helped me disconnect from daily life.
Being fully present in the moment — that felt so good. 🥰

Isa Winters

The Buenavida Healing Retreat in Portugal was an experience that’s hard to put into words.


From the moment I arrived, I felt the peace and warmth of the space.
The combination of stunning nature, profound healing sessions, and Valérie’s loving guidance made this retreat truly special.

Each day offered a beautiful balance between relaxation and inner growth.
The sessions brought me closer to myself and helped me release deep-held tension.

Valérie’s personal approach — always tuned into what you truly need — made the experience even more meaningful.


I returned home with a sense of lightness, clarity, and renewed energy.

If you're looking for a place to unwind and connect with yourself on a deeper level, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat!

This retreat was truly life-changing for me.
Valérie may be like a little bonus sister to me, but during the retreat, I witnessed her fully step into her role as a grounded and intuitive space holder.


Her presence, the peaceful location, and the energy of the group created something truly sacred.

I joined very last-minute — a room unexpectedly became available, and something deep inside me knew I had to be there.


For years, my husband and I had been trying to have a child. It was a silent longing I carried for a long time, one I had only ever shared with him.

During the retreat, this desire surfaced for the very first time in the presence of others — and it happened so naturally, in a space that felt deeply safe and held.


Throughout the week, I was able to release emotional and energetic blockages that I had no words for before. And at the same time, I opened up — to trust, to receive, to allow life to flow through me again.

Exactly one month after the retreat, I found out I was pregnant.


Today, I’m the proud mama of Baby Isa — a name inspired by one of the beautiful souls I met during that magical week, someone I felt an instant and heartwarming connection with.

This retreat didn’t just offer healing.
It opened the door to new life — in every possible way.
It was a sacred turning point, and I will carry it with me forever.
