Sunday to Thursday

The Rest & Restore Retreat

A private, intentionally small retreat for anyone feeling burnt out, depleted or overstimulated, and in need of real rest.

Offered Sunday to Thursday only, when Secret Sanctuary is at its quietest. Spaces are limited to protect the quiet and intimacy of the experience.

You don't have to wait until you're completely depleted to give yourself permission to rest.

How it works

Personalized for you

Every retreat is shaped around what your body and mind need most.

1. Consultation

You begin with a wellness consultation to talk about how you are feeling and what you need.

2. Massage

Your first session is a massage, to let your body settle and start to let go.

3. Your sessions

Your remaining sessions are personalized for you: massage, Reiki, yoga or sound healing.
