Meet Your Practitioners

A team of gifted facilitators will guide you through this transformative journey:

Irene (Irie) Rutherford | Healing Arts Practitioner: Massage , CranioSacral Therapy, Clinical Aromatherapy, Intuitive Guide, Storyteller
Your retreat founder and host, Irie creates and holds a nurturing space for self-discovery, offering insights and tools to support deep personal care. A guide for transmutation, she is a constant presence during IrieTreat, facilitating rest, growth, connection and honouring the unseen. A curated experience is Irie's specialty. Usually booked well in advance for massage + craniosacral therapy with limited new client intake, coming to our retreat is a sneaky way to get on her client list. ;) 
Only 2 bodywork sessions remain.

Julie (Jewels) Moraes | Acupuncturist, Herbalist & Yoga Instructor @pivotpointacupuncture
Jewels is a seasoned yoga instructor with a holistic background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbology, and integrative movement. She brigs a deep understanding of the body's natural healing processes and a holistic approach to all of her classes. Her 25 year journey practicing yoga has brought her much joy, connection and travel as she studied with teachers in Brazil, Mexico, Sweden and Costa Rica. Through mindful movement and breathwork, Jewels empowers people to regulate their nervous system and cultivate body awareness and resilience, both on and off the mat. She is very honoured to be teaching yoga and offering acupuncture at IrieTreat this year. 

Raye Anderson | Bodyworker
Raye's approach to healthcare is holistic. This means seeing the interconnectedness of the body, especially through the nervous and fascial systems, and using that framework to identify the roots of pain and dysfunction. This interconnectedness weaves through the many layers of the body, involving not just the physical body, but also the emotional, mental, energetic, wisdom, and spirit bodies. This perspective is based largely off of Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurveda) as well as North American Indigenous Medicine, from which fascial work is founded, as a branch of the great big tree of Osteopathy. You can expect a treatment that is both logical and intuitive, drawing from the best of both Western and Eastern practices. Founder of Sentient Bodywork, Raye is 100% Irie Approved. 

Optional massage sessions with Raye, Jewels or Irene are available in the afternoons at an additional cost of $135/hour session. Book with registration. 

This is an exclusive opportunity to connect with these inspiring women, learning firsthand how they stay nurtured, centered, and thriving.

For IrieTreat, Eric will be combining his expertise in both cuisines to create nourishing meals that celebrate his culture and passion for food, using fresh ingredients and mindful preparation.
