I’m Carina, the founder and host of Island Within Retreats. I’m half Filipino and half Australian, and while I live as a modern city woman, I carry a deep love for island life, sunrises by the ocean, barefoot living, and the simple joy of nature.
Health, wellness, and mindful living are at the heart of everything I do. I care deeply about meditation, movement, and trying new things, and I bring this spirit into the retreats I create. Each retreat is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and find balance through nourishing food, energizing practices, and moments of reflection.
My vision for Island Within is to remind you that your own “island within” is always accessible, an inner sanctuary of calm, clarity, and joy.
