This retreat is where Black women come to restore themselves from the inside out

Reserve Your Spot

As a Black woman, a fitness trainer, and an adventure coach, I’ve seen firsthand how many of us carry the weight of family, work, expectation, and responsibility on our backs. We’re moving nonstop, pouring into everyone around us except ourselves. As a result women are often feeling disconnected from our own bodies in the process.

Though we are the foundation, the backbone, the ones who keep it all moving. But at the same time, our stress is higher, our risks are higher, and our needs are rarely centered in the conversation around health.

I want to change that.

I want to create spaces where we can pause, breathe, move, and reconnect.

Where strength doesn’t mean “pushing through,” but listening, training smarter, and honoring our bodies with the right tools.

I created this special luxury wellness retreat because I believe Black women deserve wellness that isn’t an afterthought but a priority.

I want to create spaces where we can pause, breathe, move, and reconnect.

A Black Women’s Wellness Retreat at Serenbe

Why This Retreat Matters

Black women are carrying more than ever stress, caregiving, work demands, aging parents, hormonal changes, and the unspoken weight of always being “the strong one.”

And it takes a toll.

On our bodies
On our hormones
On our sleep
On our mood
On our energy
On our identity

This retreat was created to give Black women a space where our needs are centered where we can rest, learn, lift, laugh, breathe, move, and be supported without judgment or pressure.

You deserve a pause
You deserve community
You deserve care that understands YOU
