We help people shake up their routine, recharge their soul, and feel alive again

Blending adventure, fun, and stillness, our retreats create space to reset, reconnect, and rediscover joy.

Partners in crime on and off the mat, Josh and Soph have been adventuring through life together for the past ten years.

They each came into the wellness world from different directions. Soph began her career as a high-flying Executive and Personal Assistant working with high-net-worth individuals, while Josh came from the world of sustainability consulting. While caring for the planet will always be part of what he does, the time came to swap hands in the soil for toes in the sand.

Today, they split their time between hosting events and teaching in studios in London, and travelling the world to host retreats. From Bali to the Caribbean, and island-hopping through Europe, they share their love of movement, mindfulness, and meaningful human connection with global communities.

Before this chapter, they spent over a year managing a boutique eco-hotel on the Nicaraguan coastline, honing their hospitality and retreat management skills. It was also here that their love of surfing deepened.

Everything they have learned through wellness and hospitality is now channelled into creating retreat experiences that help people slow down, reconnect, and feel truly alive.

Core beliefs

THE FOUR THINGS EVERY RADIANT WAVES RETREAT IS BUILT ON

1

Movement is life.

We believe that moving your body is the quickest route back to clarity, presence, and joy. Movement clears the noise and reminds you that you’re alive.

2

Curiosity leads to growth.

Stepping away from the familiar, exploring new places, and pushing your edges with care is incredibly fulfilling. It shifts your perspective and helps you see what’s possible.

3

Human connection matters.

We all function better with more hugs, more smiles, and more genuine interactions. Community isn’t a bonus for us, it’s an essential.

4

Nature resets everything.

Time spent outside the city and immersed in wild landscapes is unparalleled. Nature grounds you, inspires you, and brings you back to yourself in a way nothing else can.
