Don’t just walk. Run away. To WhileWoods.

Self-discovery, healing and happiness await you at my magical Kawartha Lake Spa-ttage (spa-cottage retreat centre).

Discover our Retreats

In harmony with nature, the luxurious WhileWoods Retreat Centre is located on a divine waterfront property overlooking a shimmering Kawartha Lake. Are you ready to feel better, so you can do better? Come join us.

I think you’re ready, or you wouldn’t be reading this! It's no coincidence that what you seek is also seeking you.

Family. Career. Household. Obligations. Stress. Angst. Fear. Sadness. Frustration. Even illness. I feel you. 

I’ve been exactly where you are. And now here I am at WhileWoods to help you do the work that takes you from “I wonder how I can be happy, and in a life I love?” to a sense of complete wonderment — about life’s infinite possibilities, and your own infinite potential.  That pivotal, transformative moment of self-discovery and rebirth happens for my WhileWood guests every day, and I promise it can happen for you too. It’s a much shorter distance from pain to progress than one would think.

I’m sitting here on the dock, as I write, watching 11 tiny fish swim around my toes beneath the surface of this glistening water at the lakeside. Sipping my morning coffee, nibbling freshly baked goodies from the WhileWoods kitchen. And my heart is open so wide, ready for you to come join me. Yes, I’m ready for you to fall into the embrace of this beautiful, joyful place as it magically transforms you just like it’s done for me and so many other women just like us.

While you’re at WhileWoods, you will choose how you want and need to while your time. But you never have to while alone. As women, we are all branches from the same tree. We walk similar paths, although our individual  journeys may be different. And we all learn and gain strength from one another, along with WhileWoods leadership like myself and visiting coaches from a wide range of disciplines.

I have personally experienced pain and past hurts — even serious illness — and I’ve come back stronger than ever. Healed — and ready to heal — more than just myself. WhileWoods was created to provide a healing space for women, especially those who may feel a little lost or unfulfilled in their life’s purpose and potential, and are notoriously overextended.
​​
The WhileWoods model was formulated to help you escape your current reality. Here, where a luxury spa meets an upscale cottage (hence the term “spa-ttage”), I will immerse you in the peace and calm of this setting’s breathtaking natural beauty. I’ll lift you up with a sisterhood of likeminded women and mentors. I’ll surround you with luxurious comfort, delightful surprises and thoughtful touches, inside and out, everywhere you look. And — I promise — this experience will imbue your spirit with the pure, je-ne-sais-quoi magic that each WhileWoods Woman understands because it touches every single one of us.

Meet Jenn,

your WhileWoods host

 

Who I am, how I got here, and where we’ll go together.

Hello
Lovelies!

While away at
WhileWoods

Awaken all your infinite senses
Serenaded by the wind and the pines
In a land without fences
Where yesterdays are left behind
While your soul and body are renewed
And your mind reignites 
While you succumb to the embrace
Of deep connections and decadent delights
And luxuriously appointed spaces
While you tickle the lake with your toes
and reimagine all your tomorrows
While away, while away,
While away in the woods
By Dana K.
