Over the years of attending yoga classes at Higher Ground Wellness Retreat has taught me how to effectively manage distressing thoughts and cultivate a calming mindset. Leaving the studio, I feel rejuvenate and empowered, equipped with the tools to enhance my daily well-being. Gordana's unwavering dedication to her clients is truly exceptional. She treats us like family and is always eager to witness our progress...

I recently had an Access Bars session with Gordana in her beautiful space. The session was so nurturing and relaxing, and was such a contribution to my body and being. Bonus points for the smile I couldn’t wipe off my face and the deep belly laughs afterwards! Looking forward to next time, thanks again!

I have been attending Gordana's yoga classes for the past few years and have truly appreciated her genuine, caring approach. She is incredibly knowledgeable and creates a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported.
I have also had the opportunity to experience her Reiki and healing sessions. Her intuitive, gentle presence made a meaningful difference in my own healing journey, and I am grateful for the care and compassion she brings to her work.
Her beautiful studio is warm and inviting, made even more special by her sweet dog, Teddy, who adds to the calming atmosphere. I always leave feeling more grounded and look forward to continuing to attend her classes and sessions for years to come.

I went to Higher Wellness retreat really just desperate for time away for myself.
I didn’t know what to expect, but Gordana put me at ease right away by tailoring the retreat to what I needed. The food was unbelievably delicious – my only complaint was I ate too much! The guided meditations were great and I will incorporate these into my day to day routine. The breathwork session was deeply impactful and I know it will take me time to unravel the meaning and integrate this into my life. I felt nourished and cared for in every way – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!

I also highly recommend any healing modalities including sound, reiki, nutrition, gut and brain health connections; Gordana offers the real deal! Oh and the property is stunning!!! Gordana has the knowledge, healing and magic touch and Higher Ground Wellness Retreat is a treasure!
