"I had the pleasure of joining two women's climbing retreats with Heidi, and both were fantastic experiences! Heidi is thorough, patient, and so much fun to work with. She creates a supportive environment, explains things clearly, and helped me build both skills and confidence in climbing. I learned so much from my trips!" Dora Chen

"The word I keep using to describe Heidi‘s retreat ln Kalymnos is magical. Superb limestone climbing, amazing guides, a sweet little ocean view room to stay in with a view of Telendos Island, yummy Greek food and amazing people.
Our group gelled so well and we stay in frequent contact nearly 2 years later. The yoga and life coaching components were helpful in my personal journey as a climber. All in all the retreat was a perfect combination of getting after it/pushing boundaries, social time, recovery and introspection.

Best money spent, ever!" Emily Draper

"It’s hard to describe in words how amazing the entire Earth Play Retreats experience and team were during the spectacular Puerto Rico Feb. 2025 adventure. All of my expectations and my desires for both learning and growth through their excellence in instruction and handling of logistics, as well as in camaraderie and friendship among the participants and with the professional instructors, were far exceeded. The team is gracious, adaptive, and so open and friendly. Some of my favorite times were of course on the beautiful rock at the crags crushing new goals, on the yoga mat, on the slack line, and riding the tropical waves. However beyond all the epic sporting fun, preparing and sharing in communal meals, hearing about everyone’s lives and adventurous spirits and our shared passions, while making friendships surrounded by extreme natural beauty, were all sincerely heartwarming. I can’t wait to join the team again somewhere on this blue marble, either back in PR or another awe-inspiring destination. Blessings to you all Heidi, Petch, Sam, and Raquel - you are all such wonderful beautiful people, phenomenal and patient mentors, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for sharing what you love with us in the way that you do - as knowledgeable (and truly professional at your sport) friends." Skyler LaBuff

"My retreat was way more than I ever expected. Gentle mornings doing yoga while listening to the birds & being outside in the pure quiet. Heidi is an incredible yoga teacher & climber/climbing instructor. She has an eye for what you need to do to improve & advance. Heidi had a way of removing all our egos, supporting & making all participants feel important & in turn we all were close & supportive of each other. Even with a difference in ability we were all able to achieve goals. There was lots of laughing & and over all feeling of being safe when we felt vulnerable. So much more than climbing & yoga. So grateful I went on this adventure!" Roxanna Brock

"I’ve been on 3 Earth Play Retreats. That’s proof enough of how great! Heidi not only brings her absolute passion and wealth of knowledge of climbing. She also has a knack for finding the most amazing fellow knowledgable and badass that climbers (and humans) that she teams up with to make an unforgettable experience!" Regina Scala
