Message from the Founder and CEO, Jane Large

In the last 5 years I have experienced some dramatic changes in my life. At first they were not changes I welcomed or wanted, yet I had drawn them to me for a purpose. As it turns out that purpose is one that I could never have imagined in the past. This ultimate purpose was to learn to love myself and create joy in my life.

 In 2002 I had to give up what I considered my reason for living – running and triathlon. However, like so many other female athletes I was racked with a poor self-image, disordered eating issues and a perfectionist attitude. I literally ran myself into the ground, until I couldn’t get up anymore. When I had to stop training I felt lost and overwhelmed – what was I going to do without training and who was I now?

Since then I have had the opportunity to work with some fabulous teachers and have come to see all those changes as a blessing. I was literally saved from myself. Slowly and surely I learned that I was much more than the label that I had limited myself to before. I came to know that I was capable of so many things at every level of my life. I learned to allow joy and love into my world! 

And from that love and joy I have created Girl Power and Girl Power Retreats. My vision and intention is to help women all over the world discover their inner strengths and joy! And I hope you join me through this website and at my retreats so that you may also discover the magical life that awaits you once you discover your inner strength and joy! 

I look forward to seeing you soon!
