Meet Ashlee Sunshine
Hi, I'm Ashlee Sunshine - yoga teacher, retreat designer, holistic lifestyle guide and creator of Sunshine Paradise Retreat.
In March of 2025, my world changed forever. I lost my partner, best friend, lover, and soulmate to complications after suffering from a sudden brain aneurysm rupture. The days that followed were some of the hardest I've ever known. I didn't know how I was going to keep going, but I kept showing up - some days just to breathe, some days to cry, and other days to sit in silence and let the world soften around me.
Through this deep personal loss, I felt called to create something new - a sacred space for others moving through the grief of losing a spouse, partner, or soulmate. Not to fix or rush the pain, but to offer real support, comfort, and a place to land where everything feels upside down.
For over a decade, I've been guiding others as a yoga teacher, holistic nutritionist, and retreat facilitator. I work with creatives, professionals, and sensitive souls - helping them to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and find a sense of peace through holistic practices like breath-work, sound, mindful movement, and nature-based rituals.
Now, I am pouring everything I've lived, learned, and led into Sunshine Paradise Retreats - customized in-person and virtual experiences for those who are grieving, rebuilding, or simply looking for somewhere safe to just be.
Whether you're looking for rest, quiet support, soulful practices, or nourishing meals made with intention - this space was created with you in mind. I believe grief deserves tenderness, and that even in our most painful seasons, we can still be met with care, presence, and beauty.
You are not alone. I'm here, walking this road too.
