OUR RETREAT HOSTS
JOYCE YOUHANNA
HOST & RETREAT FACILITATOR
Joyce Youhanna is a certified clinical Hypnotherapist and Life Coach specialising in cognitive behavioral therapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). On top of all that, she is also the mastermind behind the concept of Vie Retreats. The combination of clinical hypnotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy is her process of choice to address both the conscious and subconscious mind, particularly in relationship and couples therapy or helping a patient deal with grief.
Joyce is viewed as a specialist in her particular field and her many appearances on regional TV networks including MBC and Abu Dhabi TV is testament to her reputation in the Middle East. She has used her televised cameos to shed light on topics such as relationship issues, guilt, positivity and other issues that most viewers might not be aware of. Joyce always uses a combination of theories and personal stories during her workshops, seminars and TV interviews to spread awareness and provide hope.

LARA KLAIT
GUEST FENG SHUI MASTER
Lara has always been passionate about understanding energy flow of space and objects to understand how it affects us. After finishing her Bachelor of Science degree from the Lebanese American University, she headed to Malaysia to fulfil her passion for studying Feng Shui mastery and became a Master Consultant certified by Lilian Too. In addition to Feng Shui, she studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Cape Town and attuned herself to Reiki healing energies.
Lara started her career by consulting friends and enhancing their space. At a later stage, the business evolved to conducting seminars and consultations throughout the region. My vision is to add value and make people content with their lives, or at least provide the support and knowledge to attain it.
