The weekend was incredibly restful, joyful and rejuvenating for me!”

“Evangeline’s presence is like a warm hug, she invites you in whether it’s your first meeting or your fortieth. Her gift is her presence. She is curious, listens deeply, and cares for the amazing community she is building. Will absolutely be taking part in everything Evangeline does going forward. This year I am committed to investing in people and places that fill my cup and this is one of them!”
-
CASSANDRA JADE
“I had a wonderful time on the retreat (my first ever!). Evangeline is such a supportive and intuitive facilitator.
You really tap into a bit of all areas over the course of 3 days - from yoga, hiking, healthy food, and intuitive workshops. I came in on the first day unsure of my next steps, feeling depleted, and I left the retreat feeling more connected with myself, others, and more aligned.
It was encouraging to be surrounded by other women, sharing healthy practices in a supportive way. I recommend the retreat to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves, others, or just take a breather from the business of life. Evangeline creates a beautiful, welcoming, and nourishing space!”
why join us at the waves of joy retreat?
In today’s fast-paced world it’s so easy to get lost in the constant cycle of doing, achieving, constantly striving for more. We feel pressure to be everything for everyone, and in the midst of it all we can lose sight of the power of being present to our lives, of soaking it all in, of feeling immense gratitude pouring into us.
The simple truth is that we’re meant to experience a life of joy. It ebbs and flows, yes, just like the waves… ~ ~ ~
But joy is there; shimmering under the surface, wanting to be felt, seen, expressed.
JOY often lives in the seemingly small moments of our lives, in the simple interactions with people we love, in the stillness as we sip on our morning coffee or gaze out the window at the sky. JOY swirls throughout our energetic body as we gaze into someone’s eyes, when we’re wrapped in the arms of someone we love, when we bury our bare feet in the sand, when that song comes on that you just HAVE TO get up and dance to.
The ~Waves of Joy~ retreat is here to remind you that you DESERVE to feel joy. Joy is an innate part of being alive, of feeling connected to yourself, trusting yourself, feeling satisfied, living a life that feels FULL.
We’re blessed with one life. Just one.
Let’s deeply connect with our inner-joy during this retreat, transforming ourselves through connection, movement, creativity, and PLAY.
Are you ready to…
tap into your creative energy?
be reminded of what makes you joyful?
feel exuberant joy?!
connect with your life-force?
re-awaken yourself to the magic of being alive?
re-connect with your body?
surround yourself with the healing powers of the ocean and salt-air?
relax your nervous system?
be seen in community and sisterhood?
feel rejuvenated and renewed?
have your cup filled up?!
This retreat is all about you and embracing YOUR JOY!

The focus of our movement sessions will be on deepening your connection to your own body, with an emphasis on strength, core, and mobility.
Alternative poses will always be offered, and we’ll use props like blocks to allow us to sink deeper into our practice.
Expect to end each session feeling grounded, connected, and energized!
Hi, I’m evangeline!
I’m happy you’re here! I’m an Energy Healing Practitioner, a Fitness Instructor, and a Hiking Guide. I find meaning in helping others to feel connected, present, and alive to their lives, and believe one of the best ways to experience this is through connection to self. Some of my favorite ways to help people re-connect with themselves is through movement, nature, and community.
I believe that if you’re reading this right now, we were meant to cross paths, even if for a brief moment in time. Born in Massachusetts & raised around the globe (my parents were missionaries), I learned early on in life that real connection with others, exploration, and gratitude are a vital part of finding joy and meaning in this world.
Through this upcoming retreat on Martha’s Vineyard, my focus is on guiding YOU to experience profound joy.
In 2024, after almost a decade working in a corporate role as a Director of Training Programs & Events, the universe gave me a nudge, and I went all in on trusting myself, listening to my intuition, and building a business that felt aligned.
Since beginning my entrepreneurial journey in 2024 I’ve led countless fitness classes, guided hikes, and community-building workshops. In May 2025 I hosted my first women’s retreat in New Hampshire, and in August of 2025 I began renting out a studio space to work with clients in-person for Energy Healing, Aura Cleansing, and Chakra Balancing.
Leading a retreat on Martha’s Vineyard has been on my heart for some time now, and I’m so excited to lead each attendee on a journey of connection through movement, embracing joyfulness, and being amongst community!
