The Wellnest offers an Invermere women’s retreat facilitated by Valina Lapointe, designed to create space for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies, this Invermere women’s retreat invites women to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves.
Within a safe and supportive environment, women gather to share experiences, release what they’ve been carrying, and rediscover their curiosity, joy, and sense of belonging through genuine connection and community.
Each Invermere women’s retreat is thoughtfully designed to support reflection, connection, and personal renewal.
Within a safe and supportive environment, the retreat experience nurtures emotional wellbeing, meaningful
conversations, and a deeper connection with yourself and the women sharing the journey.
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.
If you're curious about the retreat experience but not quite sure if it's the right fit, you don’t have to figure it out alone. This clarity conversation offers a relaxed space to connect with Valina, ask questions, and explore whether one of the women’s wellness retreats feels aligned with what you’re looking for.

I had the pleasure to teach reflexology at a very cozy wellness retreat recently, called the "Wellnest". Valina Swan,the retreat's creator, offered this cozy nest in a comfortable rustic cabin in the mountains, near Invermere. Though I was only there for a portion of the time, the group of women gathered there were relaxing before my healthcare professional eyes. There was nutritious food, art supplies a plenty, interesting discussions to participate in, nurturing and learning new self health care skills of aromatherapy and reflexology potentials, horse therapy, hot tub and sauna or nap options. The group that had been there had formed a safe bubble of peace to trust, learn and gently press refresh, to return to their life at home recharged. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of that bubble and look forward to longer stays at Wellnest retreats in the future.
“Being. Being able to be myself, surrounded myself with good people. I am not alone. (I have always had a hard time connecting with other women, so this was a very positive experience.) 100000/10! Definitely signing up for the next one!”
"Deep connections with the other ladies. What I learned about myself. What I learned about others. The abundance of thoughtfulness in all areas (food, crafts, activities) Seven our of five stars! Thank-you Valina for sharing your special gifts and love with all of us!”
