I invite you to this space to heal your heart and womb to reconnect with your true essence and to remember the magic of who you truly are.
​​
If you feel called to take the leap and allow yourself to just be, integrate parts of yourself, be taken care of, and have fun traveling with other like-minded women, it's for a reason!
​
You are having a soul call. It is your soul calling you back home to self, to spark back the fire within, to embody your soft divine feminine, and to remember the essence of who you truly are. 
​
When we listen to our intuition and follow our soul calling, everything starts to flow with less resistance, less pain, and more pleasure and ease.

Esencia is a retreat to soften and activate our sacred heart and womb. In this Journey we allow our old skin to shed that are blocking us from channeling and embodying our true divine self. 
 
We will heal our wounds with compassion, cut energetic cords that are tying us to the past, and have soul activations so we can live and flow empowered with more clarity, confidence, and integration.
​
We will remember our softness, sexuality/sensuality, worthiness and power.

This is for the women who are feeling drained, disconnected from your divine feminine power, need soul nourishment and activation to heal and transform their journey through life.​

Your Facilitador

Joanne Macgregor Nieves was born and raised in the beautiful land of Puerto Rico and is the founder of Magical Women Wellness. She is a proud Latina, mother, mystic, and artist, devoted to guiding others on their journey of healing and self-discovery.
 
With 15 years of experience in yoga and mindfulness, Joanne holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and is a twice-certified Women’s Circle Facilitator (Christine Gutierrez/ Beatriz Bonnin & Womben Wellness), a 200-hour Registered Rocket Yoga Teacher (Yoga with Carson), and a 100-hour Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (Beatriz Bonnin).

Last but not least, she is currently training with Christine Gutierrez & Beatriz Bonnin on Shakti Medicine to work even deeper with women's healing and transformation.
 
Through her personal journey, Joanne has deeply explored the alchemy of transformation—learning how to turn darkness into light within herself. By taking full responsibility for her healing, she experienced such a profound shift that she felt called to share the very tools that led her back to self-love, resilience, and walk through life with grace.
 

Her mission is to guide women back home to themselves—helping them reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and inner power so they can remember the magic that has always lived within them.

"...desde el primer día yo dije: quiero ser como ella, su energía te hace sentir bienvenida, siendo mi primera vez haciendo yoga fue lo que hizo que me sintiera cómoda. Joanne te explica con una pasión, un conocimiento y una paciencia. Se toma el tiempo para enseñarte a hacer bien las poses, se esmera en hacer que todos se sientan parte y le saquen el provecho a la clase. Algo fundamental para mi es que Joanne nos permite hacer preguntas y con eso uno llena un poco mas allá de hacer yoga y ya, realmente te permite conectar con la practica."

(Yoga, 2024)
