Meet Kelly & Jules
Kelly and Jules, both having emerged from personal battles—Kelly with anxiety from her high-stress career and Jules from a traumatic birth experience—found common ground in their dedication to healing. Meeting through mutual friends 8 years ago, they instantly connected and raised their young children together. Combining Kelly's expertise in yoga and women’s circles, with Jules mentorship skills in feminine embodiment and somatic healing, they created a holistic program aimed at fostering emotional and physical healing. Together, they now run workshops and retreats around the world, offering a sanctuary where women can find peace, resilience, and empowerment, drawing strength from the serene environment and each other's stories through sisterhood.
Kelly Hillard
Kelly, once a high-flying private jet manager plagued by anxiety & burnout, found solace and transformation through yoga. Trading the high-pressure world of luxury aviation for the tranquil countryside, she now resides in rural Scotland. Here, she teaches yoga, guiding others towards inner peace and balance, much like she discovered for herself with a slower and simpler paced life. Kelly’s yoga journey began 15 years ago and has blossomed into more than just a passion. After completing over 1000 hours of training around the world, she became the proud owner of beautiful Orenda Studios in Scotland. It is here she has honed her craft as not only a teacher, but a sound healer, women’s circle and wellness host. Kelly has a gift of curating each class to the uniqueness of every participant and individual energies, ensuring a bespoke experience every time. She’s taken the advanced teachings from her mentors and now has the pleasure of sharing them with us.
Jules Theis
Jules, who endured a traumatic birth experience, channeled her pain into a powerful mission to support other women facing similar challenges. Drawing from her own journey of healing, she now works as a dedicated advocate and mentor for women, providing emotional support and practical resources. Her compassion and resilience inspire countless women, helping them navigate their own paths to recovery and empowerment.
Jules loves to lean into deep conversations that encourages us to dive within and expand our inner world. As an Integrative Somatic Practitioner she guides people to release stress, trauma and buried emotions through meditation, breath work and body movement.
With her passion for bringing like-minded women together, she is eager to provide opportunities for women from around the world to deepen their personal connection, in stunning and restorative locations.

Lasting Impressions
Thank you Jules and Kelly for the amazing retreat! It exceeded my expectations and felt like a true vacation. Everything was so well put together so I could just let everything go and just focus on the moment. Jules and Kelly are such a great team and it shows how much they love working together. Kelly with her many years experience as a yoga instructor guided us on beautiful practices in the garden. Jules with her writing background led us on such deep and descriptive inner journeys in meditation and visualisation. She also helped us get started on journaling and it was so helpful with all the questions and guidance she had prepared for us. It really made a deep impact on me. I wish you both continued success and I am very excited about your next retreat!
Célinne, Sweden
The retreat with Jules and Kelly was an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was perfect: the location, the food, the company. Was amazing to spend this time only focusing on relaxing and getting to know wonderful women in a place as beautiful as Provence. The yoga classes and meditations were also so lovely. Thank you girls!
Cami, Brazil
There is no such thing as coincidence! Jules & Kelly were amazing during the retreat. They both exceed my expectations, even though I had none, they have been beyond my needs! Feminine energy is such an important topic for us women. I felt so blessed to cross their paths and have the chance to hear the art on putting words on something intangible. Their words still infuse in my mind and body and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Jules & Kelly retreats!
