A Wild Dolphin – Wild Woman Retreat

With Sandy Hughes & Courtney Ward
The wilderness of the open ocean is calling YOU!
Step out of the city & into your SOUL!
There comes a time in every woman’s life when the call to pause, to breathe, and to rediscover herself grows louder than the noise of the world. In the stillness between what has been and what is yet to come, there is a sacred invitation: to step away from the demands of life and return to your own essence. This retreat is that sanctuary—a space to be held by the ocean, to swim with wild dolphins, and to remember the woman you are becoming: strong, alive, and deeply connected to nature’s pulse.

Sandy Hughes
Functional Medicine Health Coach & Transformation Guide
As a Health Coach, I empower individuals to reclaim their health, vitality, and mental clarity through a science-backed, deeply personalized approach. With a profound passion for the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive, I merge bio-individual data, precision lifestyle design, and cutting-edge Positive Intelligence techniques to create lasting physical and emotional breakthroughs.
My work extends beyond traditional coaching—I lead transformative online and in-person fasting experiences and facilitate exclusive retreats for women in Mozambique, where deep healing and personal evolution unfold. For a select number of private clients, I provide an unparalleled level of support, accountability, and education, guiding them toward profound, sustainable health transformations.
I believe that true health is the foundation of an extraordinary life. By aligning with the body’s natural rhythms and harnessing the power of mind-body synergy, we unlock boundless energy, mental clarity, and the ability to step into our fullest potential.

As the founder of Halo Gaia, Ocean Safari guide in Ponta Malongane, leading Dolphin Swim Facilitator, and dedicated data collector, she brings decades of experience and devotion to her work. Through her deep relationship with the dolphins, her love of people, and her profound connection to the ocean, Courtney offers a truly unique and transformative Ocean Awareness program.

She Lived
She never smoothed her wild edges.
She never stopped writing new chapters.
She fell.
She rose.
She danced.
She unraveled.
She let go.
She evolved.
She was a tangled mess.
She was strong.
She was fierce.
She was brave.
She was a badass.
The ocean was her therapy.
Grace was her religion.
Imperfection was her backbone.
Forgiveness was her freedom.
She lived like there would never be enough time.
She lived like there was fire in her veins.

"The Women’s Rewilding Retreat was precisely this – a chance to let our hair down and engage with the elements – grounding in the earth, swimming in lakes, harnessing light in our sun salutations, journeying into sound, dancing around a fire, sharing insights, experiences, dreams, and spectacularly divine food. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Sandy and Courtney."
Erin
"I would highly recommend that any women attend this retreat. The facilitation is gentle, firm and spot on. The functional medicine, yoga and sound journey sessions are perfectly balanced with enough free time to rest and restore to your core. The ultimate highlights are the feasts – food made with so much love, attention and the freshest ingredients, and the wild swimming… The dances under the stars, the connection to each other and nature, and the beautiful lodge space to do it make this retreat a simple must-do. It was a high value for money exchange, and I will do it again in a heartbeat, and take more women with me to share the experience."
Mari
"I’ve never delved so deeply into an experience holding such authentic, loving, joyful & compassionate Truth. Showing up exactly as I am, and being embraced with unconditionally loving support – opened up the most massive internal space for healing to express itself through grace. There was not a moment that went by where I tried to (even subconsciously) avoid deep presence, every second held such power. And, not only did the space provide light to be anchored at a given point in time but it has served as an eternal flame, and an everlasting love.
Thank you deeply to everyone involved."
Aimee
"This is a beautiful part of the world – the breath taking views and peaceful tranquility have stolen my heart. Sandy and Courtney are both incredible women and hold a magical space. Wellness and music combine effortlessly to create this incredible retreat experience."
