Joining Health & Wealth Forces of Luxury

Having met in the jungles of Costa Rica, Jess & Laura bonded over a shared passion of living their most abundant, rich and luxurious reality, in every facet of life. From health, wealth, relationships and experiences.

These two quickly became spiritual soul sisters and embarked on travels around the world seeking out the sisterhood and retreats where they could immerse themselves in a reality of pure opulent abundance, while embracing the divine, deep soul work with a sisterhood of conscious women.

Despite many wonderful experiences, one thing became clear, what they were searching for was not yet out there. So they decided to join forces and create it themselves.

The FEMME Retreat

Led by: Vanessa Grutman – Master Biohacker, Integrated Health Practitioner & Successful Entrepreneur

Available Dates

Retreat Dates: October 5th to 10th, 2024

Booking Window: Until September 6th, 2024

This exclusive and intimate women’s retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with your intuition and femininity to amplify you and your business’ authenticity, beauty and magnetism.

Awarded Coach of the Year in 2023, Vanessa is a Certified Integrated Health Practitioner, Kinesiologist and successful entrepreneur dedicated to supporting women in reclaiming their energy and reconnecting with their true innate power for infinite abundance.

While always being passionate for health, she spent the last decade building a successful 7-figure business in the skin health industry. She sold and exited this business in 2023 and is now fully dedicated to her coaching practice, which grew exponentially, reaching close to 7 figures in its first 12 months of life.

She walked through her first experience as an entrepreneur deeply rooted in her masculine energy, fuelled in hustling, wanting to be busy, hitting big goals and crushing her daily to-do list, despite birthing 2 children. It definitely worked, until it didn’t. After spending thousands of dollars on biohacking tips & tricks and trying to “fix” herself, she realized she had to take responsibility for her own healing and decided to get certified as a health coach.

Through this work, she reconnected with her body, her worth, her stories and her emotions to not only heal from burnout but like a phoenix, rise from the ashes.

She is now devoted to showing women how to get away from the trap of hustle to re-align their life’s purpose with their unique gifts and create a life of abundance with more flow. As a strong brand builder, she understands the power that personal branding and online presence plays in magnetizing with ease ideal clients and building an authentic business that brings financial abundance. Her unique coaching approach encompasses her decade of experience as an entrepreneur, team leader, spiritual junkie, biohacker and holistic health guru to help her clients not only heal but transform deeply.

Return to Center: A Wellness Immersion for Body, Mind & Soul

Led by: Lauren Lewis

Available Dates

Retreat Dates: November 6th – 10th, 2024

Booking Window: Until October 7th, 2024

A unique retreat designed to offer a deep-dive into all aspects of holistic health. On this 4-night retreat we will gather on the white sands of Playa Del Carmen, kissed by the turquoise ocean in the spirit of rejuvenation. Through modalities such as yoga, meditation, deep rest (in luxurious accommodations), organic plant-based cuisine, and time in conscious community we will reconnect to our natural state – one of peace and possibility.

Finding balance in our daily lives can feel like a monumental task. For many of us our output outweighs our replenishment and we end up in a state of depletion. Carving out time for our wellness can fall by the wayside in our daily busyness, but the benefits are profound. Return to Center was created as a reboot so that we may return to our lives with steadiness and perspective.

During our time together at Palmaïa – The House of AïA we will meet twice daily for group practices led by Lauren Lewis. Morning practices will consist of meditation and Vinyasa yoga. Afternoon sessions will vary, including group discussion, slow flow and yin yoga. We will journey into yoga philosophy and reflect on how we can utilize these ancient teachings off the mat.

In addition to our curated content, we will have two special, privately-led sessions with in-house Palmaïa experts on topics related to holistic wellness.

For those craving even more, as a part of staying at the resort, we are all invited to participate in their robust daily classes including movement, sound, mindfulness and shamanic arts.

Palmaïa is a decadent and luxurious, all-inclusive resort that has all of the amenities you will desire. Think fresh water cenotes, cold plunge pools, large swimming pools with swim up bars and thatched roofs, beachside service, live music and a perfect beach. The resort boasts 4 incredible restaurants along with room service and a vegan taco truck. As a group we will join nightly for dinner at each restaurant, traversing global plant-based cuisine. Breakfast and lunch will be at your leisure.

I hope that you join me on this one-of-a-kind retreat. All are welcome!

Lauren’s teachings weave a fabric full of challenging flows, invitations to evolve with kindness, and an understanding that vulnerability is the pathway to connection. Her approachable teaching style incorporates her passion for fluid sequences, her love of music and her extensive background as a natural foods chef and student/ teacher of vinyasa yoga. After nearly two decades of personal chef, catering, and culinary education work Lauren has noticed that the practice of mindful cooking and eating share a huge amount of parallels with the practice of yoga. She loves to weave the wisdom of these two healing modalities into her classes. Practitioners can expect classes that help them discern where their unique edge is and move toward it with compassion. Lauren embraces the idea that the more we can show up and love ourselves, the more we can get out of our way to shape the world around us positively. Outside of the studio, you can find Lauren hiking, camping, or biking in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado with her family or cooking up a storm in her kitchen.

We get disconnected from ourselves, and we forget how much control we actually do have over the quality of the experience we’re having, and how much we can call to us. When we venture lovingly into our subconscious mind to clean out the limiting beliefs that block our abundance, we empower ourselves to rise up to new versions of ourselves. We make it possible for us to claim our most successful,, empowered and blissful lives. When we make the unconscious conscious, we step into our higher selves and start actualizing at the level of our full potential. We start becoming a magnet for our own dreams. When we learn how to create our reality on purpose, we give ourselves the opportunity to make this life the absolute best it can be for us, and we empower ourselves to thrive in all ways.

Happy Camp is where you come to return to a state of love and remove the obstacles blocking your abundance. It’s where you reconnect with your bliss and your power as the conscious creator of your life experience. It’s where you come to remember how powerful you are and that you can create anything you want in your life his retreat will leave you ready to step back into your life and start thriving at the highest level.

Come play in the magic of Playa Del Carmen at the luxurious Palmaia resort. Move your body with twice-daily yoga, calm your mind with daily relaxing guided meditations, and gain freedom from limiting beliefs in mindset coaching sessions with Katie.
