Wellness retreats for women
Rest is the whole point of the week.
My retreats are wellness retreats in the plainest sense: you sleep, you move, you eat well and you are left alone when you want to be. A small group of women, a house, and a week where you are not the one holding it together.

Not a spa. Not a bootcamp.
A lot of wellness retreats sell a schedule: early yoga, a cleanse, a talk at every meal. Mine are built the other way round, around structured solitude inside a small group.
There is daily movement and there are sessions, and every one of them is optional. Nobody asks you to share. If you spend the first two days catching up on sleep, that is the retreat working.
Everything handled
Lodging, every meal and the plan for each day. You do not cook, book or organize anything.
Movement, your way
Daily movement led for the group, and skipping it needs no explanation.
A small group
Small enough that you know everyone by the second night. No forced sharing, ever.
Where you could be.

In their words.
From the women at the last retreat, in Costa Rica. Watch Melissa’s video on the retreats page.
“I was burnt out and struggling to figure out why I always felt behind. My need to be perfect and always reliable had become the reason I failed to show up for myself.”
Kristi · Retreat guest, Costa Rica “Intimate group size, and leaders able to make us think, laugh and cry without judgement. No waiting, no rushing.”
Carol · Retreat guest, Costa Rica “I learned that I matter too.”

What is included in a wellness retreat?
Lodging, every meal, daily movement and the sessions for the week. Each retreat page lists exactly what is and is not included; airfare and travel insurance never are.
Are the retreats for women only?
Yes. Every open retreat is for women, and you do not need to own a business to come.
Do I have to take part in everything?
No. Every session is optional, and there is no forced sharing. Rest is a perfectly good way to spend the week.
How do I hold a place?
$500 holds your room on any open retreat, and the balance can be spread out. A place is held only once the deposit is received.
Women’s retreats, by place and purpose.
A week where you rest.
