Our Story
Harmony Experiences was born from the shared vision of Ian and Emily, two passionate advocates for wellness and self-discovery.
With a background in mental health, Ian brings his expertise from We Are Hummingbird, a dedicated organization focused on mental well-being. Emily, a seasoned yoga, meditation, and breathwork teacher at YOGA by Emily, enriches our experiences with her deep understanding of mindfulness and movement.
Our retreats and events are designed to help you find your inner balance while encouraging you to embrace life’s adventures. We create luxurious, all-encompassing experiences that blend wellness with pure happiness because we believe that self-care should never feel restrictive.
At Harmony Experiences, you’ll find a community that celebrates true connections, meaningful moments, and the power of living well.
Join us as we navigate the journey of life together, finding harmony in every step.
Healing, High Vibes & House Music
We’re no strangers to retreats or to the dancefloor.
With years of experience hosting and running both wellness yoga retreats and music-fueled DJ getaways around the globe, we’ve found a way to bring it all together into something truly special.
At Harmony Experiences, we blend the soul-nourishing goodness of yoga, mindfulness, and mental wellness with the electric energy of music, connection, and celebration.
Each retreat is simple: create spaces that feel like freedom.
Meet the Team
Ian
Co-Founder Harmony Experiences
Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Instructor
Ian is a dedicated mental health and suicide prevention instructor, drawing on his own experiences. After 17 years managing high-profile accounts in global insurance—amid intense stress, long commutes, and the pressures of family life—he reached a moment of clarity which led him to take a Mental Health First Aid course, inspiring him to support others in finding balance.
In 2018, Ian left the corporate world to found We Are Hummingbird, focusing full-time on mental health and suicide prevention training. As a certified instructor in Mental Health First Aid and Suicide Prevention, Ian delivers accessible, tailored training across the UK and beyond. His down-to-earth approach makes mental health discussions impactful and relatable.
Ian’s work naturally complements the vision of Harmony Experiences, where he creates retreats that foster self-discovery, peace, and meaningful connection. Through his expertise, Ian guides participants on a path toward balance and fulfilment.
