Retreat testimonials
“I'm so thankful I was able to join this experience I'm coming back for more. After months of isolation, the community Kendall has created was just what I needed. She brought together a group of adventurous, fun, empathetic people and took us on amazing adventures to grow...from surfing to hiking to sound healing. This is a priceless experience I'm so thankful to be a part of!”
-Emily G, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“I spent the most wonderful month meeting new friends, explore new experiences, learning new skills, and having lots of fun in Hawaii! This experience has the perfect balance of activities to nourish my mind, body, and soul. Everyone is so kind and welcoming! Kendall has created a magical community for us to connect and get the immersive Hawaii experience. I would recommend this experience for anyone seeking to refresh, reconnect with themselves, and join a wonderful community!”
-Andina B, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“Blue Crushin' It gave me such a new perspective on how I want to travel. Getting to experience a whole host of new things I wouldn't have tried and feeling like I was part of community during my stay was truly special. Will definitely be checking out more trips in the future.”
-Josh S, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“These three weeks have been one of the best things I’ve ever done! My only regret is not staying longer. I found peace, joy, connection, excitement, and clarity during this. Blue crushing it met all my expectations and more! I really got to immerse myself in the local culture and experience North Shore life. The people, activities, food, and beach location were amazing!”
- Deirdre O, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“Kendall curated an incredible experience in Hawaii! It was truly some of the 2 most special weeks of my whole life! The community are folks that I have formed beautiful, deep friendships with, and I learned SO much just by being around the group. It truly fed my soul!”
-Anna C, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“Like the pure saltwater of the Pacific, this experience cleansed me of the isolation-and-stress sludge built up on my soul from the pandemic. I don't know how I would have gotten back into normal life without this, but I do know I wouldn't be thriving like I am after doing this.”
-Scott C, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“This was a really fun and thought-through experience. Having the lodging, meal, and fun but non-mandatory activities provided a great base for a Hawaii trip first-timer. Fun group, and everyone bonded very well.”
-Chris F, participant in the Blue Crushin’ It Hawaii Experience
“The intimacy and variety of experiencing France with Kendall and her amazing friends and their families gave us the insider view into so many unique experiences that are truly part of French living! Bravo Kendall. ”
—Leslie P, participant on Authentic Travel Adventures Provence edition
“Authentic? Truly! Travel? First class! Adventures? Only every day! Each day we said, “this was the best day!” Our own private Petit Caberet soirée welcomed us the first night! Then, there was the vineyard, the gardens and terrace lunch, the boulangerie and patisserie, lunch and dinner with a French chef in our petit chateau kitchen, cheese tasting with graduates of cheese school, shopping at the market, outings at best restaurants, Cassis by the sea—a picnic, swim and boat ride, then art!…walking with Cézanne to paint Mont Sainte Victoire, a local artist, our guide—to her studio and home for a lovely dinner! And…Marseilles’s church on the hill to watch over the sailors. And still time to swim in the pool overlooking lavender beds and olive trees!
Each best day, a slice of Provence, put together one whole beautiful unforgettable experience! Our hosts, Kendall [& her local friends] were flexible and accommodated our every need, like personal guides. Their friendship will last long after we said our goodbyes. Authentic Travel Adventures created a unique new way to travel, a new way to see, a new way to be and to learn about a world beyond our own. Honestly, the very best time of my long life! ”
—Lynnette R, participant on Authentic Travel Adventures Provence edition
“What a great time we had in Provence on Kendall’s inaugural tour. We learned so much about French culture by living and eating like the French do everyday, not to mention painting with a professional artist outside, looking at the mountain Cézanne painted 87 times! We never expected to have so much fun...swimming in the Mediterranean, picnics with amazing food, and soirées in the evening with live performers! Kendall and her team went out of their way to make us fall in love with southern France, and we sure did. It was the most fun, intimate tour I have ever been on, and I can’t wait to sign up for the next one!”
—Mimi H, participant on Authentic Travel Adventures Provence edition
“What I enjoyed most about working with Kendall is that she always helps me get to the point, cut through BS, and create real and time-bound goals. Somewhat in the S.M.A.R.T. goal framework, but as an example, I might say "I want to do such and such", and she would say "ok, when?" and thus really putting together a concrete plan. I also absolutely love the acknowledgement part of her coaching…I know I wouldn't have achieved many, or perhaps any of my goals, without her. And at the end, to get that feeling of not only accomplishing something, but have your guide person state how proud they are..it's certainly an awesome feeling.
Some of my tangible results working with Kendall over the past 18 months or so include: weight loss, a very cool photo shoot based on that weight loss and body improvements, a new approach to dating and in all aspects of life (going "all in"), as well as various coaching practices that I will and have carried into my own coaching.
Some of the bigger and more recent results I would say are really emphasizing self-care and self-love. Reflecting, for example, on the 'what I have accomplished, am good at, and am grateful for,' each day really renews my energy and inner peace, and helps to chip away at self-doubt.
She was patient, really cared about me as a person and my growth, and unquestionably, I would recommend Kendall as a coach to others.”
