A Retreat for Rest, Renewal & Rising
Tucked into the wild beauty of Gabriola Island, Saltbranch is a space where you can reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with others.
Rooted in simplicity and strength, our guesthouse offers a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember who you are beneath the noise. Whether you’re joining us for a retreat or staying as a guest, Saltbranch invites you to come as you are - and leave with more clarity, courage, and calm than you arrived with.
We host small group retreats, mother-daughter weekends, and women's empowerment workshops led by founder Emma Hamilton, blending martial arts, mindfulness, movement, and rest.
