Fall Equinox Women’s Wellness Retreat | September 20–22nd, 2026 | San Juan Island
The fall equinox is one of the most powerful moments of the year — a natural pause between seasons when light and dark hold equal ground. It's a threshold worth marking intentionally, and the inspiration behind everything we've built into this retreat.
This is a three-day, two-night experience for women who are ready to step away from the demands of everyday life and return to themselves.
Balance: The equinox asks us to pause. We'll honor that with an evening letting-go ceremony around the fire — a ritual to release what's no longer serving you and create space for what's next. Yoga, breathwork, and time in nature hold the rhythm of each day.
Move: Movement is at the heart of what we do. We'll strength train together, hike San Juan Island's stunning landscape, and dip in the ocean — building the kind of physical confidence that follows you home.
Nourish: Chef Juels prepares lunch and dinner each day — seasonal, farm-to-table, and deeply satisfying. Leave the planning and decision-making at home. We'll also spend time learning about macros and how to eat in a way that genuinely fuels your body — practical nutrition knowledge you can take home and actually use. Your only job is to show up and be present.
Connect: There is something that happens when women gather with intention. Woven throughout the weekend are moments for reflection, honest conversation, and the kind of connection that stays with you long after you've returned home.
Saltwater Farm on San Juan Island is our home for the weekend — a stunning, peaceful property that sets the tone from the moment you arrive.
18 women. Three days. One beautiful turning point in the year.

HOST, HEALTH COACH, & FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
With a deep passion for health and fitness, my 20 years in corporate healthcare left me wanting to help people truly optimize their health instead of turning to pharmaceuticals or surgery. Leveraging my extensive experience, I co-founded Island Strength and Movement alongside my husband, a venture that reflects our shared commitment to empowering individuals through physical activity and holistic wellness practices. I got certified as a group exercise instructor and love to teach classes focused on building strength and resilience. Most recently I became certified as an Integrated Nutrition Health Coach and provide actionable guidance to help people optimize their health and thrive. I reside with my husband and triplet boys in the charming community of Friday Harbor.
