A Newly Discovered Healing Energy Oasis Sparks a Wellness Retreat near Ottawa, and You're Invited!

It all started with a little mix-up. Few years ago I lived in Toronto. I was looking for a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, so I booked myself a getaway airbnb in what I thought was Muskoka, a 3 hour drive from Toronto.

The day of the trip I realized that the airbnb I booked was not in fact in Muskoka, when I punched the address into my Google apps. I mistakenly booked an airbnb near Ottawa.

Four and a half hours later, my partner and I found ourselves ​in the enchanting arms of ​a place we never knew existed ​Wakefield, Quebec! This place was like a bohemian wonderland nestled alongside the serene Gatineau River, about 25 minutes north of Ottawa, Canada.

The moment we arrived, tranquility washed over us, ​and we felt as if we had been ​whisked away to California's dreamy shores, or Costa Rica's beachy towns or Bali's enchanted ancient forests.

That's when IT all started.

Everyone whom we spoke to who lived in Wakefield, Quebec talked about IT.

They would say… "this place is different."

They would say… "this place makes me feel really good."

"Of course it does" - we thought.

• It has the best swimming holes tucked away in these cool river mazes.

• You can hop on a paddle-board and cruise along, with rolling hills and epic mountain views as your backdrop.

• It's also Golfers' and Skiiers' paradise with multiple golf courses and 3 ski mountains 10 minutes distance from each other.

• You can chill at the Nordic spa with a fancy infinity pool and a cocktail in hand, in a true Quebecois liberal style.

• You've got hip microbreweries, cafes with views that'll make your jaw drop, and charming French bakeries with the most delightful pastries.

• And, who can resist chasing waterfalls in hidden nooks?

• If hiking's your jam, there are tons of trails in the Gatineau Park.

• For the brave hearts, there's even bungee jumping.

It's not your regular life; it's a life filled with adventures around every corner.

But that's not even the best part.

There's something even more sacred about this place.

Wakefield almost feels like a place where the Earth itself is saying, "I got your back, come and heal!"

It's a place where you just feel the healing energy radiating from the earth.

It's like plugging into nature's own electrical outlet.

What sets this enchanting village apart from the rest is its unique and little-known secret – its electromagnetic properties.

Wakefield, QC, is home to a rare phenomenon known as a "Magnetic Anomaly," similar to Sedona and Mount Shasta.

This term refers to places with unusually high levels of magnetism, often caused by minerals in the rocks.

Now I know why everyone who lives here talks about IT.

They say… “This place is different.“

They say… "This place makes me feel really good."

The IT is the ‘Magnetic anomaly.’

Just look at this interactive map of electromagnetic energy across North America.

Wakefield's got some seriously high levels of this magnetic mojo that we can tap into for healing and getting our groove back.

How I ended up building a Wellness Retreat near Ottawa So YOU My Friend Can Also Experience The Magic of This Place

It all happened to me when I dared to embrace the theme "Limitless."

Every year, I make it a personal tradition to choose a theme for myself and I encourage my coaching clients to do the same.

It's like picking a guiding light for the year ahead, something to keep me focused, motivated, and inspired.

That year, I chose the theme ‘Limitless.”

Ah, the universe often reveals its guiding hand in the subtlest of ways. It whispers through chance encounters, serendipitous moments, and the unexplained pull of our hearts toward particular paths.

That year I realized the city was holding me back.

The fast-paced urban grind, the rising cost of living, and the exorbitant expenses associated with buying real estate were definitely the top culprits.

Stress levels were off the charts, pollution was taking a toll on my health, and finding an affordable living space that wasn't the size of a shoebox was next to impossible. 

One thing that became painfully clear in the city was the absence of real community.

It seemed like everyone was caught up in their own whirlwind of busyness. Amidst the hustle and bustle, true connections and meaningful interactions were few and far between.

The city of Toronto felt isolating, with neighbours coming and going like ships in the night. 

My soul was craving something different that I couldn’t yet articulate.

I knew something needed to change but I was scared to leave my constricting comfort zone behind.

I was scared about venturing into the unknown, to be honest, so much so that I jumped headfirst into the whole 'real estate frenzy.' 

I ended up investing in a condo right in the heart of the Junction in Toronto—a new development that sold the dream of a fantastic city living in a prime location.

But Destiny had other plans.

I can still picture it like it happened just yesterday.

I'd just wrapped up a Women's Retreat focused on
stirring up the inner power within us, and I gotta say, we sparked some pretty remarkable shifts for the women there.

Now, here's where my own little shift came in.

Ding-dong, the doorbell went off.

I opened the door, and there he was, our neighbourhood mailman, holding out a letter addressed to me.

Well, you can imagine the curiosity it sparked.

Inside that envelope, I found something I wasn't expecting— a $25,000 check.

But it wasn't just that; there was a card along with it. The card had a message that said, "We're returning your initial investment for the condo. After giving it some thought, we're unable to move forward with the construction."

It was one heck of a surprise and a pretty incredible twist of fate, especially coming right after an empowering weekend focused on helping women align with their true path.

Talk about serendipity!

Guess what I immediately thought?

‘If there was a sign, this is IT.

Long story short, we ended up buying land and building a wellness retreat in the Edelweiss Valley, in Wakefield Quebec, near Ottawa.

We all have limits that we need to shatter to find our true path.

To open yourself to bigger possibilities, you need to distance yourself from your current reality, so you can get a better perspective on your life.

If you never visit a new place, spending time with new people, get exposed to new ways of thinking, being and living, you won't know that something so much better is possible.

It’s hard to understand the whole picture, when you’re too absorbed in the nitty gritty of your daily existence.

That is why I'd like to invite you to the Unlimited Retreat here in Edelweiss Valley, in Wakefield, a wellness retreat near Ottawa.

It's an experience that's gonna awaken your senses, give your body and spirit a recharge.

You'll...

 1. Take time to reflect on the past year, the choices you have made and results you’ve gotten

 2. You clearly define your priorities and intentions for the coming 12 months

 3. Identify any unhelpful behaviours, beliefs and/or habits you previously indulged in that will no longer serve you down this new path

 4. Create an action plan that involves new set of habits, rituals, and beliefs that will help bring your goal to fruition

We’ll work on:

• every excuse
• all your objections
• all the things you don’t think you could do
• challenge every story you have about your capability and just about everything that’s sabotaging your brighter future

This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
