I am a mental wellness facilitator and retreat leader. Through my women's wellness retreats, I guide women into a safe
and supportive space where they can begin to unlearn negative patterns and undo what life experiences, expectations, and
past relationships may have shaped. Together, we slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves
that have been waiting to emerge — while forming meaningful friendships that often last a lifetime.


At The Wellnest, I guide women through women's wellness retreats designed to create space for rest, reflection, and honest connection. Together, we slow down, release what we've been carrying, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have been waiting to be heard.
Life experiences, relationships, expectations, and responsibilities can quietly shape the patterns we carry. Over time,
these emotional burdens can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and unsure how to move forward.
The retreat creates space to pause, reflect, and begin releasing what no longer serves you.
We often carry struggles quietly while supporting others, rarely giving ourselves space to pause or share
what we hold.
We sometimes repeat emotional patterns shaped by past experiences, without realizing how they continue
to shape our lives.
We can lose touch with our inner voice and curiosity when life becomes overwhelming and responsibilities
take over.
We often feel responsible for
holding everything together for
others,leaving little space to
acknowledge our own needs.
We may carry experiences or grief quietly for years, without the time or space to truly process what we've
been through.
We all long for connection with others who understand our experiences and offer empathy, support, and belonging.
RELEASE THE BURDENS WE CARRY: Within a safe and supportive
space, we begin to gently release emotional burdens we've carried alone.
REDISCOVER WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE: Through reflection
and connection, we reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may
have been forgotten.
Each of our women's wellness retreats is thoughtfully designed to
support personal reflection while nurturing meaningful connection.
Every woman's journey is unique, yet the shared experience often
creates powerful moments of understanding, insight, and belonging.
If you're feeling the need to pause and reconnect with yourself, you don't have to go through this journey alone.

I believe there is a special kind of magic women can create for each other that allows us to release our burdens and rediscover our childlike wonder, curiosity, and playful spirit. My women's wellness retreats are designed to nurture exactly that experience.
If you're feeling the need to pause and reconnect with yourself, you don't have to go through this journey alone. Many women
who attend our women's wellness retreats describe leaving with deeper connection, renewed clarity, and meaningful friendships.
“I spent time with old friends and new friends and got to embrace a new part of me. I was in a beautiful rustic setting in the mountains surrounded by trees and warm magic. I was in the midst of laughter and tears and community. It was a beautiful, heart warming experience.’”
“The worksheets were the best! They asked me questions I needed to hear and consider, but hadn’t been asked yet. This weekend had so many great moments. 10/10, 5 Stars, two thumbs up!”
“What a successful experience! I want to use the new skills I’ve learned from sessions and other’s sharing. Building our little community of trust over the weekend was really fun. Thank-you for your efforts, Valina I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!”
Within these retreats, women come together to share experiences, offer support, and realize we are not alone.
Through reflection and connection, we reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have been forgotten.
This is a space where you can show up honestly, release expectations, and feel supported.
