UGG Founder Nadja Piatka

"Dream it - Achieve It"

 

From hiding from bill collectors as an unemployed single mother to being a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a self made millionaire.  Nadja made a dream come true. Armed only with an idea and a $100 investment, she became an international supplier to the food industry. As an unemployed, single mother, her amazing story of taking a company out of her kitchen and creating a successful food company was highlighted on the Oprah Winfrey Show and other international media.

 

Since no one would hire her, she decided that she would hire herself. She started her business by waking up in the wee hours to bake and deliver her baked goods in her car to local coffee shops. When her customer base grew, she outsourced her production and within a year became a supplier to McDonalds Canada, the first of many successes in the fiercely competitive food industry.

 

She is a bestselling author and is the recipient of numerous achievement awards in Canada and the US.

 

Nadja will share her amazing professional and personal story of why she started the Ultimate Girls Getaway for women, surviving leukemia, setting goals and helping others achieve their goals. Her presentation will be a guide and an inspiration to anyone who dares to dream big!

Get the party started!  Come hungry. Kickoff the weekend with a complimentary crantini, delicious food, music and entertainment.  Put on your favorite comfy flannels with the elastic waistband and get ready to indulge, showoff your dancing skills and laugh the night away!  

 

The Pajama Party is the signature event at the Ultimate Girls Getaway, developed over years of great parties and guest feedback just like we did when we were kids. After it's all over, we'll let the hotel clean up so we can go jump on the beds! 

We'll have food stations for you to enjoy all evening.  This years theme is Barbecue!

You'll meet great new friends, dance, sing and have the time of your life!  Shop at the UGG Trade Fair. We love to support women in business. This is also a time to get one on one time with our presenters, sponsors and UGG staff.

"The Divine Feminine" -  Tapping into the Energies of Love and Abundance.    An empowering life changing session with Grace Cirocco

10:00am - 11:30am

 

April 2018 marks 15 years that Grace started The Goddess Club, a monthly workshop series focused on women’s emotional, psychological and spiritual growth and resilience. She has delivered over 175 workshops at the Goddess Club and it has been a joy growing the “Goddess community”.  Originally started so that she could continue supporting and inspiring her Goddess Retreat graduates, it has, over the years, expanded and welcomed women as far away as Montreal, Windsor, Calgary and Victoria. Each month women came together to learn, laugh, grow and realize that we don’t have to be alone on this journey.  Grace is delighted to celebrate her special Goddess Club anniversary at this year’s ULTIMATE GIRLS GETAWAY with BFF Nadja Piatka and other beautiful Goddesses.

 

Keynote:  Many women have a dream living inside their heart but they lack imagination and courage to turn it into reality. The truth is that most yearn for more love, more joy, more peace and more abundance, yet many don’t dare to dream beyond what they believe is possible.  Others believe in their potential but they rarely lift off because they don’t have knowledge of all the steps. They haven’t been taught how to ignite imagination and push beyond the limitations to create amazing possibilities. In this session you will learn how to tap into your heart’s desires and truly come to understand why you are the Architect of your Life, and the Captain of your Soul. ©

 

Grace Cirocco is  one of Canada’s most gifted inspirational speakers, an intuitive healer, life and marriage coach and the author of  the Harper Collins best-selling classic, "Take the Step, the Bridge Will be There" available in several languages around the world.  Grace runs Intensive healing and transformational “bootcamps” for men, women and couples.  Her “Goddess Retreat” is a powerful and transformational experience that has helped thousands of women.   Grace encourages us to live authentically, and courageously. She inspires us to heal our dark side and reach for the luminous places not only within ourselves, but in one another.

Day 3:  Sunday April 29 

Yoga with Deb Taylor

8:00 am - 9:00 am

 

Here's why I #lovelife

As a Wellness Specialist, I’m focused on helping people feel better from the inside out.  I’m a teacher, trainer, yogi, entrepreneur and a learning friend committed to helping people feel better, in body and in mind.  With a modern family of 7, I’m all about my blended FamJam with 5 kids, all bigger than me now. I have a passion for helping people love their life. I know it can be done, and I can’t not share what I know.  Let's love life, and love the person in the mirror.   

I’ve been a fitness expert and wellness coach for over 20 years. For several years, I was simultaneously a high school teacher with a passion for all things healthy. Since 2008, being a full time personal trainer, fitness instructor, and Yoga Instructor has been the earth shaking shift in my life that has brought me to a place where I can truly say, I really do love life!   

 

I have worked as a physical therapy aid and also hold a Nutrition and Weight Loss Specialist certification. 

Let's do this together

I will help you feel:

improved energy, better range of motion, a stronger core and assist you in improving your quality of life from eating, to sleeping, to having more fun with family and friends. 

I made the shift in my professional life to take a holistic approach to health and wellness that involves all aspects of living well, including yoga/fitness, nutrition, and behavioral changes, weight loss, and mindfulness.  By sharing a new and improved philosophy that broadens our goals of good health to encompass mindfulness as an equally important part of our health, we'll feel empowered, defining and reaching our personal goals, both physically and mentally.

GUIDED MEDITATION: with  Grace Cirocco 

Cleansing Your Inner Chakras & Connecting with your Spiritual Guides

10:00 am – 11:00 am

 

Grace’s Sunday morning meditation class at the UGG has become a favourite with participants so we thought we would continue the tradition. Grace loves creating out-of-the-box guided meditations for women.  She intuitively “downloads” beautiful visualization journeys that allow for self-awareness, spiritual clarity, and emotional healing. Mindfulness and meditation neutralizes negative energy in your life and can become a powerful tool for personal transformation.  As a healer and mentor to women, Grace believes that meditation is the portal for personal transformation. It is nourishment for the body and soul and as life gets faster and crazier, meditation is the anchor our Divine Feminine Self needs.  Come and experience this very powerful hour with Grace and learn how meditation can transform your life.
