About Ocean Calling Retreats
Ocean Calling Retreats was created from a lifetime shaped by nature, exploration, and human connection. It brings together my two worlds: a deep love for the ocean and animals, and a professional background dedicated to smooth, thoughtful travel experiences.
Each retreat is crafted with licensed instructors, trusted local guides, and partners who know their islands intimately. Together, we offer experiences that are safe, ethical, and deeply immersive. The focus is to move gently, respect the environment, support local communities, and create a welcoming space for everyone.
Our retreats are designed for travellers who want something personal and meaningful. A place to explore alongside like-minded people, enjoy the ocean, discover local culture, and feel part of a warm community. Every journey is intentional—shaped by real moments, shared experiences, and a natural rhythm that lets guests feel cared for from the moment they arrive.
My retreats are for travellers who want to feel part of something meaningful, explore with like-minded people, and create moments that stay with them long after the journey ends.
Our Mission
Ocean Calling Retreats creates small-group ocean experiences that are safe, ethical, and deeply personal. Our mission is to help travellers connect with the ocean, with themselves, and with a supportive community—through meaningful adventures guided with care, intention, and respect for nature.
Our Core Values
Safety and Clarity
Every retreat is built on careful planning, trusted partners, and transparent communication to ensure guests feel supported from start to finish.
Ethical Travel
We work only with local operators who respect marine life, protect natural habitats, and follow responsible wildlife practices.
Small-Group Connection
Our groups stay intentionally small to create a warm, personal, and community-focused experience.
Respect for Nature
We move gently, avoid exploitation of animals, and encourage environmentally conscious behaviour throughout every retreat.
Inclusivity
Solo travellers, beginners, and experienced explorers are all welcomed with an open and supportive approach.
Our Retreat Approach
Ocean Calling Retreats follows a slow, intentional approach to travel. Each retreat blends ocean adventures with meaningful, grounding experiences designed to feel calm, personal, and supportive. Groups are kept small to give every guest space to relax, connect, and explore at their own rhythm. The atmosphere stays warm and human—never rushed, crowded, or commercial. Every detail is planned with care so guests can focus fully on the experience.
Welcome every mind
Many travellers carry invisible differences that shape how they move through the world — the way they process sensations, focus, emotions, transitions, or social dynamics. These experiences are often misunderstood or overlooked, and it can make travel feel overwhelming instead of freeing. At Ocean Calling Retreats, every mind and every background is welcome.
Our studies in neurodivergence and human behaviour help us understand the unique ways people think, feel, and experience the world. This allows us to support travellers who need clearer structure, gentler pacing, sensory awareness, or simply a coach who listens without judgement. You do not have to mask, adapt yourself, or explain your inner world — your needs are recognised and respected.
Freediving is a powerful space for reconnecting with yourself: your breath, your body, your emotions, your rhythm. Having guidance that understands how your mind works creates safety, calm, and permission to be fully you. Here, you can explore the ocean — and yourself — with people who truly see you, support you, and honour the way you experience life.
You belong here exactly as you are.
Our Ethical Promise
Ocean Calling Retreats follows a strict ethical approach to wildlife encounters. We never chase, feed, touch, or disturb marine animals. All activities are guided by licensed instructors and boat crews who prioritise safety, respectful distance, and responsible behaviour in the water. Plans are adapted to ocean conditions and animal movement, ensuring that every interaction is calm, natural, and non-intrusive. Our goal is simple: to observe marine life in a way that protects their wellbeing and preserves their home.
Our Partnership Promise
Ocean Calling Retreats partners only with operators who meet strict standards of safety, ethics, and local expertise. All instructors and guides are fully licensed, use reliable equipment, and have proven experience working in their region’s specific ocean conditions. We select teams who prioritise respectful wildlife practices, follow environmental guidelines, and avoid mass-tourism behaviours that harm marine life or local communities. Every partner is chosen for their professionalism, their integrity, and their commitment to protecting the ocean.
Our Community
Ocean Calling Retreats is designed for travellers who want to feel part of a warm, supportive community. Our small groups allow people to connect naturally—through shared ocean days, relaxed conversations, and meaningful moments that unfold without pressure. The atmosphere stays open, friendly, and inclusive, giving guests space to be themselves while also feeling held by the group. Whether you arrive alone or with someone, you become part of a community that grows throughout the journey.
What You Can Expect
Guests can expect retreats that are thoughtfully organised from start to finish. Every detail—logistics, schedules, local partnerships, and safety considerations—is handled with care so guests can focus fully on the experience. The atmosphere is calm and supportive, with small groups, ethical wildlife practices, and clear guidance throughout the journey. Each retreat offers meaningful ocean time, cultural moments, and a welcoming space where travellers feel safe, comfortable, and connected.
