Bonjour! We are Bree and Dez.
To put it simply, we offer the best wellness retreats to relax, restore, rejuvenate, and reconnect. However, more often than not, our wellness retreats offer powerful change toward more authentic living. We promise to offer the tools that will support you on your journey.
Our Story
Bree and Dez met as Marriage and Family Therapist Interns in southern California working together in community mental health. Their friendship developed over the years across several shared and separate office spaces, licensing exams, private practices, community thanksgiving turkey drives, self-care socials, and calls of support. Dez had the brilliant idea of doing a therapeutic yoga retreat for women, and called upon Bree to collaborate and develop our premiere yoga workshop titled “Empowered Singlehood” in the Summer of 2019. We had such overwhelming demand and positive feedback that we decided to offer new original workshops and the best wellness retreats focused on empowering people in various aspects of their lives.
