Limited to 6 Women
This pilot program is made possible through a Pay It Forward Microgrant from Zonta Club of Hilo. This session is currently being offered at a reduced cost of $20 per woman (less than half the regular cost).
Feminine ~ An intentional space for women 21+ with soothing sensory details that honor being a woman.
Embodiment ~ A shifting from thinking about the body as an object to living within the body.
Oasis ~ A deep sigh of relief, "me time", a space for you and only you with no pressures or conversation.
The Feminine Embodiment Oasis is a sensory sanctuary using guided mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and calming sensory elements for your nervous system health. No experience is necessary. You will be fully and gently guided along the way.

Your Facilitator
Michelle Gallagher Escobar, MA
Women’s Somatic & Mindfulness Facilitator
I created Wild Women Hawaiʻi out of a desire to offer women down-to-earth authentic spaces of pressure-free belonging and heart-led somatic mindfulness in a calming environment.
I hold a Master’s degree in Dance, with a background in education and ongoing specialized study in Somatic Experiencing®, authentic movement, and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. Instead of following a single training method, I draw from multiple modalities that align with my vision combined with my own research and artistry. My work has naturally evolved into a calming, bespoke blend of embodied movement, mindfulness, authentic creativity and nervous system support.
The Feminine Embodiment Oasis is an intentional complement to:
The Hearth Circle, a talking-witnessing circle with deep sharing and trauma-sensitive boundaries.
The Den, a loosely structured gathering with peaceful space for both contemplative silence and natural conversation.
Her Blue Body Women's Retreat, a beautiful blending of all offerings combined with guided ocean therapy, comfortable ocean-front accommodations, and wholesome food.
Private Somatic Sessions, for deeper, individualized nervous system support.
While participation in all offerings is not required (and not possible for those who are off-island), women who attend all will experience the full depth, purpose, and benefits of Wild Women Hawai'i. You are welcome at one or all, and you will never be pressured to join more than you are comfortable with.
