Another great week!
Another great week at Lauvitel for the tenth time! Thanks a lot for the welcome! See you next year for the eleventh. Thanks to the whole team and to Caroline in particular for her kindness, her listening, and her healing hands.

A real favorite!
An ideal place with a charming team. A real favorite!

A magnificent place!
We leave with regret this magnificent and rejuvenating place with an immense desire to return. Very good moments with the family, a very warm welcome from Caroline who allowed us to take advantage of this place where each one could find their happiness!

A revitalizing stay!
A revitalizing stay, full of positive energy. Bravo for this exceptional place which can only offer a memorable stay. Long life to Lauvitel. See you soon on foot, by bike or by paraglider…

I want to say a huge thank you for receiving me so graciously when I was at my lowest, and helping me to find myself again over the past 12 months. I felt so lost for so long, and I hadn’t realised how far down I had spiralled until I arrived at your haven. To look back now I would have never thought I could get to where I am today in just a year. I really do feel like the missing piece has now slotted into place and I’m back! Bigger, brighter, bolder, and better.

Working with Caroline is a heart-opening and solution-generating experience. In the 7-month coaching program, I undertook with Caroline, there was not one session where I did not feel at least 100% of her attention and presence, and it felt like even more, if that’s possible. I remember starting many of my sessions with some hesitation and resistance and, without fail, at the end of the session I was lighter in mind and spirit and able to generate multiple options and that I would never have thought of before.

Caroline – well what can I say, she is amazing!

Talking through things or being open with how I felt wasn’t me, but I have never felt so comfortable with someone I have only briefly met, she has a way of making you feel there is no limit to how open you can be, how much you can learn or what you can achieve. Many things we spoke about I have never shared in quite so much detail or feeling, a strange thing for me to do and yet it felt so easy and right.

I have a new perspective on listening to how my body feels & what it needs. I now see that whilst I’ve been doing a fantastic job of looking after my family I haven’t been doing the same for myself.

Recommending Caroline to you is easy as there is simply only positives to gain.

Caroline facilitates the state of being centred in the present with awareness of what else is happening around you at that time. Each nature experience brings something slightly different, none of which you would get if you just did them by yourself. One made me more aware of my personality and my relationships with other people. During another I recognised previously unseen strengths. Throughout all, there are intense moments of clarity as to what I want from life and how to achieve it.

Unbelievable how one day can impact one’s life. After quite a tough week, I joined the one day retreat with plenty of questions in my head. I had visited the Lauvitel Lodge and I knew that a paradise was waiting for me, but I didn’t expect to have such an intense and effective time in a calm and trustful environment. Close to nature, relaxed but working hard, I fully charged my batteries and know what to do next.

Experiences with Caroline in the mountains in her fantastic place – it is the scenery of the place but not just this – it is with Caroline, who creates this incredible sense of calm, that is returning to balance and wholeness. Appreciating nature in a very natural way, doing the chi kung and T’ai chi exercises, her whole approach to nature is something that is really easy to connect with.

It is both calming and healing and, through that, it becomes like a soul experience, awakening us and returning to our connection with nature and ourselves. Going one step further, it is through this connection with ourselves, with nature and with others, that you rejuvenate yourself and have a chance to find or re-find your own path.

There is a particularly strong relationship.
There is genuine love, trust, reliability, honesty and care.

In our times of walking in nature and climbing in the Alps I have found these qualities to exist.

Fierce, Courageous, Steadfast, Caring, Encouraging

Taking me to the edge of my comfort zone and then setting me free, to find my way and pointing to the learning that comes in that moment. This resulted in believing what Caroline already knows – that I am more, that I am capable of more than I ever thought I was, especially in challenging environments. She does this with caring eyes, a knowing smile, holding the space for a response, an exquisite question – and then you go do it and put the next step in front of the other and learn through the experience.

My time with Caroline at Lauvitel has been deeply transformative. I’ve returned every summer for several years now for a personal retreat with Caroline, and each experience has offered something new, profound, and lasting.

What she bring as a coach is special—her presence, her intuition, and her gentle yet powerful way of guiding me to push beyond my inner boundaries have made a profound impact. What I appreciated most was her connection to nature, spirit and the land at Lauvitel. She would guide me through a morning mediation, tai chi, or a guided walk through the woods.

Lauvitel itself is a magical place—there’s something about the air, the mountains, the garden, and the food that seeps into your soul. It’s a place where time slows down and you return to yourself. I leave each time feeling at peace, deeply connected to nature, to myself, and to what lies ahead. The time I have spent having a personal retreat has been a gift to myself in every sense. I am grateful for Caroline´s wisdom, care and connection.
