Melanie DiPaola, MEd, E-RYT200, Reiki & Sound Practitioner
Melanie is a former Elementary Teacher who quickly realized that a Mom’s overall wellbeing had a crucial effect on the child’s healthy development. A woman’s self-care has a fundamental ripple effect beyond her home and on her community as a whole, and sadly so do her insecurities. Melanie pivoted from a secure career focusing on the child, to her passion of focusing on the great agent of change – Women.
She helps Women feel better about themselves and feel more fully their True Self. Driven by her passion for holistic well-being, Melanie founded The Zen Collective—a community of expert teachers and sacred spaces dedicated to healing, growth, and spiritual evolution.
With her gentle guidance and nurturing spirit, she cultivates an environment where women can explore the depths of their practice and discover their inner wisdom. As both a teacher and a lifelong student deeply committed to her own personal growth and development, Melanie leads by example, embodying humility, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to the practice of yoga and energy healing.
Realizing that her imperfect body was strong and capable in ways that other skinny bodies were and were not, brought profound freedom. She had a new appreciation for what her unique body could do, and feel, regardless of its shape, age and weight. Melanie knew she had to share this body-acceptance and ease of body, mind and spirit with as many people as she could.
Melanie is so excited to spend a week in paradise with you and other diverse women. There will surely be plenty of laughs, maybe some healing tears, relatable stories, and so many practical tools to help support your process from the present you to the future you, and inspiration to realize that you are the main character of your life!

Kimberley Gunning, MSW, RSW, Reiki Level 1&2, Therapist and Wellbeing Coach
Kimberley is passionate about the benefits of integrating holistic wellness with traditional therapeutic modalities. She holds a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Toronto with over 20 years experience in the field and is founder of Kaleidoscope Wellness Niagara. Kimberley believes that the most important thing women can do every day is show up for ourselves.
She brings lived experience and knowledge of what it is like to come back from burn out. During a time when many practitioners were overwhelmed from the demands of the pandemic, Kimberley focused on finding alternate ways of healing. She completed her Reiki Level 1&2, implemented meditation, yoga and reiki into her daily living and now shares new tools in her clinical practice. Recognizing that we need to continue to grow, Kimberley is about to step out of her comfort zone and will be starting Yoga Teacher training in October 2024.
Kimberley believes that in order to navigate life’s challenges we need to use humor, self compassion and find community. She loves travel, wellness and other humans and is committed to making this retreat a transformational experience for all participants.
