Kenzie Krieger is a nutrition professional, yoga and Pilates teacher, and lifelong student of holistic wellness. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and brings a thoughtful, integrative approach to nourishment that bridges modern nutrition and the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda.

For several years, she has explored Ayurveda through study, daily practice, and seasonal cooking workshops, sharing simple ways to align food choices with the body's changing needs. She is continuing to deepen her education through formal Ayurvedic Health Counselor training, expanding her understanding of personalized wellness and holistic nutrition.

As someone who has personally navigated complex dietary restrictions, Kenzie is passionate about creating meals that are both deeply nourishing and genuinely enjoyable. At this retreat, she will prepare vibrant, vegetarian meals inspired by Ayurvedic principles and grounded in modern nutrition. Her menus focus on seasonal ingredients, balanced flavors, digestive support, and foods that cultivate energy, vitality, and ease. Guests can expect thoughtfully prepared dishes that nourish both body and mind while complementing the retreat experience. Dietary allergies and restrictions will be mindfully accommodated so that every guest can feel cared for and nourished throughout the retreat.

She believes that food, like yoga, is a powerful practice of self-care—an opportunity to slow down, listen inward, and cultivate well-being through simple daily rituals. Her hope is that each meal becomes an extension of the retreat itself, inviting moments of presence, connection, and nourishment that guests can carry home long after the weekend ends.

Victoria is a retired High School English teacher who recently completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Jane’s House of Well-Being in St Charles, MO.

She has been teaching weekly classes in her neighborhood since and has immersed herself in the teachings of Michael Singer including running a class series at Jane’s House Studio based around his successful book, The Untethered Soul.

She combines her love of literature within her yoga classes by interweaving poetry into her teaching which hopefully helps her students to soften and reflect on their inner wisdom.

Originally from the U.K, Victoria has lived in the U.S for 12 years. Missouri is her 4th state having lived in Massachusetts, Georgia and Ohio. Her own yoga practice has helped her to soften into each new place along with daily morning journaling to help her ongoing search for clarity & peace.

Aileen Nagel is a pediatric occupational therapist, certified health educator, writer, and maker with a love of vintage papers and reflective practices. She has found that making with her hands offers a way to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect with what matters.

Her love of keeping journals began as a kid at summer camp, where she created “smile journals” in a wide-ruled Mickey Mouse notebook filled with magazine clippings, drawings, and little treasures. While her practice has evolved over the years, the joy of gathering meaningful pieces onto a page—and the stories ordinary objects can hold—has stayed with her ever since.

In both her personal and professional life, Aileen has witnessed the way making can create space for reflection and connection through many seasons of life. Through Paper & Ritual, she creates warm, approachable experiences where others can explore and make something meaningful—no artistic experience required.

She hopes each experience feels a little like a deep breath: an invitation to pause, notice, and create.

Jessica Imo is a Kripalu-certified Mindful Outdoor Guide who creates experiences to connect with nature, slow down and awaken the senses with breath, movement, meditation, silent walking, and sit spot practices.

Justine is an Intuitive, Astrologer, Reiki Master, and Certified Tarot Reader. She is ever curious and a consistent seeker of new knowledge and techniques in her practice. She found these modalities to be life changing in overcoming difficult challenges from her own childhood, relationship dynamics, and health-both mental and physical. She is passionate about helping and teaching others to do the same through self-awareness, healing practices, and by valuing oneself. Through Astrology, Tarot, and Reiki she helps others in their ascension process by recognizing patterns and outdated belief systems, releasing wounding, and expanding one's strengths. She loves sharing the depth and many layers of these modalities and teaching others how they can work with them to make more conscious and rewarding choices and decisions in their own lives. Through reiki, tarot, and by reading one's natal chart as a personal roadmap, she assists others in shadow work, growth, and their evolutionary journey toward mission and purpose. She connects with spirit, guides, and passed over loved ones to share personal messages. She believes these tools are keys to understanding one's past, practicing presence in the now, and for coming into alignment with the life you want to create in the future-the life you deserve, desire, and are destined to live.
