Cadence Coaching Retreats Raving Fans
I’m so happy I said YES to this retreat! I had no idea what I was getting into. The program you provided was exceptional, and for me personally, it was priceless. It was freeing to get out of my head, learn new behaviors, and have a blast exercising. I’ve never laughed so hard (belly laughs!) for so many days. It was great to be goofy and work on myself. I truly had the most amazing time! I can’t imagine a more well rounded program than what you put together. Eliza, Nikki, Yuwa & Kimry were your perfect picks for the perfect team. I came home with a fresh perspective- I’ve had a really nice time connecting with my horses on a new level since I got back. I feel grounded and happy to ride again. It’s been a long time since I felt that!
This retreat provided the quiet time I needed to slow my brain down. It was a transformational week of sharing thoughts and bouncing ideas off of fellow horsewomen. I came home with a new clarity and vision for my business and future. And, I made so many new friends!!! The team you put together was fantastic and the whole experience was worth every penny…. Thank you!
This retreat provided the perfect opportunity for me to focus on myself and connect with like-minded women without distractions. I felt such a sense of internal peace when I left. I loved the breadth of offerings and having all the activities be truly optional. The art class was especially fun and a good way to stretch our creative sides. This retreat “clicked” on every level and I can’t think of anything that was missing. I appreciated how “all in” the team was for the group and at the same able to engage and have fun. Cadence Coaching retreats are a great way to pause and give yourself mental & physical care and attention.
The best things about the retreat, for me, were laughing so much, new friendships, and balanced living. I can’t wait to do it again next year!
I loved every minute of this retreat! What’s better than a week of laughter and belonging with a group of horse lovers? I did some stepping outside of my comfort zone and left feeling empowered and rejuvenated. The nutritional aspects were especially helpful. Yuwa was an incredible wealth of knowledge. I loved Nikki’s energy and sense of humor. And Kimry’s art class was so fun. You had the dream team, Jen!
Jen was a beautiful leader. She set the tone with no drama and no politics, day one. She kept the focus on group and individual well-being. I can’t think of anything I would change about this experience!
I loved absolutely everything about this retreat! I’ve been surprised by the life changes I’m still experiencing after coming home. Jen, your wisdom and putting together this amazing retreat was life changing for me. I feel stronger and more capable on my path, where I was wavering before. It now doesn’t bother me as much to be uncertain. I feel more held by the universe and I value the connection I felt with you. I have carried home so many treasures. I’ve changed my eating habits and am building ways to become more fit. I found more physical strength at the retreat which, in turn, has given me more mental strength. Thank you for your dream and for making this happen. I will keep recommending it to others because it was freaking amazing!
PS: You miraculously accomplished getting me into the ice bath- not once, but twice!
If you’re on the fence about joining a Cadence Coaching Retreat, I wholeheartedly encourage you to go for it. The transformation I witnessed—both in health and in spirit—was truly inspiring. Jen and her incredible team created an uplifting, supportive, and empowering environment. It’s a beautiful example of people coming together to make a meaningful, positive difference in the world. The retreat team was amazing, and brought us all to a higher vibration. A healthy glow came over everyone at the retreat. It was inspirational, just being around you all!
This was such a fabulous experience! I absolutely loved the programming and especially appreciated the inclusivity, openness, and adaptability. There was so much learning on a range of relevant topics, surprisingly awesome food, and a great, inclusive group that had things in common from the start. I enjoyed the variety of activities and the flexibility to do as much or as little as I desired each day. I tried new things and loved them! Thank you, Jen, for organizing this. It far exceeded my expectations!
This retreat provided me with a rare opportunity to slow down and feel. Jen managed to bring total strangers together from all over the country and provide a beautiful, transformational experience!! We all had a chance to rest, renew, and make new friends. I even discovered that I like running.
The atmosphere of this retreat was complete support, love, gratitude, connection, and sisterhood. I left feeling “empowered” and calmer than I have in a long time. I also have better fitness and a plan to keep it up. The group chats with Jen were my favorite part. None of us knew what to expect of this week but we all left not wanting to leave and so thankful for our time at Wild View!
The Cadence Coaching Retreat For Riders was the perfect mix of activity, rest, amazing food, a stunning setting, beautiful facilities, and the tranquility to find whatever you came seeking. All the offerings were amazing- including art, which I only reluctantly signed up for because I thought it would “be good for me, but it actually rekindled my desire to draw. Nikki, the fitness trainer, was super. I felt like I had time & space to relax but there was enough structure that I didn’t feel “itchy” to get out and “do” more. One of the best parts was rediscovering how good my body feels with good nutrition! I stretched my boundaries a bit, did all kinds of whacky yoga things and came away with new friendships.
The retreat was amazing! Full of great food, incredible people and interesting activities with time to spare for relaxing. I was truly able to disconnect from work and rest while meeting incredible people. My time in Portugal taught me how to eat cleanly. I came away from the week prepared to modify my lifestyle and achieve my health goals. I loved our evening talks and really appreciate you organizing this and bringing all of us together!
I loved what everyone offered at this retreat. I keep coming back to the whole container. Both the voiced and unvoiced intent created such wonderful connections among everyone in the group. How special that is. We all need to treat ourselves with love and kindness. Taking this time for myself was life changing. Enriching life through shared experiences like this improves health, relationships, and builds connections. You are raising the bar on the quality of life for everyone who attends your retreats!
The Cadence Coaching Retreat For Riders was a wonderful experience. The quality of the location and thoughtful design was beyond belief. Every element of the retreat was meaningful in the healthiest way- food, environment, people, and place. The programming was wonderful. I appreciated the ability to engage at all levels. I was drawn to “low impact” activities and it was easy to figure out how to design my own schedule. The depth of nutrition and menopause education was unexpected and very valuable for me, personally. I appreciate Jen’s ability to orchestrate authentic conversations among amazing women. It was truly an amazing week.
I highly recommend this retreat to others! It was the result of excellent organization and planning that benefitted our group of twenty women who came together for camaraderie, mental and physical challenges, and a reset. We had a good time while also doing much needed mind, body, and soul searching, relaxing and restoring. I attained a feeling of peace and developed a plan to seek that same peace in the future. I think once you have felt that, you can more easily navigate to it again. Thank you for organizing this and allowing it to evolve into what it became. It was what each of us needed in each our own unique way. The whole team did a great job!
This was an experience of a lifetime! I loved every minute of it. The love and camaraderie within this group made me feel safe, supported and inspired. The facilities were perfect, the meals were delicious, and I feel rested, motivated and peaceful. To be honest, I was suspicious of gluten and dairy free meals, and no coffee. I loved every meal, didn’t miss the coffee, and have a new way of cooking now. The retreat team made things like fitness and art totally accessible and fun regardless of where each person started. I have nothing but praise for this whole experience and wouldn’t change a thing!
Jen, I can’t thank you enough for this transformational retreat. It was just what I needed when I needed it. The facility, food, and accommodations were wonderful but I think the thing that really made it special for me was the energy. A true feeling of support from the team and all of the women gathered there. We all felt comfortable and confident to open our hearts, share our vulnerabilities, listen to and support each other. The schedule was just right. The fact that I could pick and choose made me feel comfortable resting when I needed rest. When I was feeling “active” there was always something fun to do. The results were concrete. I believe every one of us has changed for the better. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you for turning an idea into a magical week!
I already have recommended this retreat to many! The staff, facilities, and accommodations were truly unique. The superb instruction, fun activities, phenomenal food, crazy good coaches, and amazing educational material were all perfect. Plus all the ladies were absolutely connected around renewal and supporting each other. Excellent leadership and guidance.
Jen’s stewardship of this retreat is a whole leadership package. There was lots of careful attention and subtle forbearance woven into nuanced action throughout the week. I appreciated the opportunity to try something new in safety. I feel a deep appreciation for gaining clarity and receiving support while being given encouragement to disengage when I needed to for my own reasons. Thank you.
