YOUR HOSTS
Danielle Boyd
DANIELLE BOYD I’m a physiotherapist living in beautiful North Vancouver, BC and a firm believer in a BALANCED lifestyle. I am an adventurer, a foodie, a traveller and lover of family, friends, wine, the lake and the mountains. I am not a dietitian or a counsellor, nor am I perfect, but I do have some self proclaimed nuggets of wisdom to share. I believe in big goals and setting the bar high without losing sight of what really matters.
I started The Balanced Collective in 2014 as a place to put my thoughts on health and wellness into words. It has evolved, and continues evolve into a concept and a community of well being. The blog has now evolved into The Balanced Ideas as a way of creating a dialogue on topics in health and wellness. It is a place for me to continue to put my thoughts and musings into words. The Balanced Collective has also evolved into actual conversations by means of a podcast. On the podcast, I interview health and wellness practitioners as well as entrepreneurs to learn what self care looks like for themselves and how they achieve their visions.
I’ve realized that my perfect vacation is a feeling. It is feeling free, liberated, active, nourished, relaxed and playful. My perfect holiday consists of being active through some sort of daily fitness – going for a run, doing a HIIT workout or taking a class. It consists of exploring new locations through adventure – hiking, surfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, snowboarding or cycling for example. It consists of eating delicious and nutritious food and sharing it with friends. My goal with this Costa Rica fitness retreat is to help all our guests achieve these same feelings that I so love to experience while I am travelling.
