A Size-Inclusive Wellness Experience for Plus-Size Women

Who It’s For

You will find a space where your needs are anticipated, your body is welcomed, and your spirit is lifted. We offer excursions that are truly accessible, moments of movement that celebrate your form, and circles of connection where no one has to hide.

Radiance is for you if…

• You avoid travel because of seatbelts, excursion weight limits, or fear of judgment
• You crave friendship that doesn’t start with small talk
• You’ve longed to feel light without having to lose weight
• You’re done muting your joy to make others comfortable
• You want rest that feels like coming home to yourself

Here, you’ll be met with:

✔ Community, not comparison
✔ Accessibility, not anxiety
✔ Care, not correction

Curated Retreats That Feel Like Coming Home

I’m Katherine Illgen, founder of Manifest Wellness Retreats, and I created this space because I’ve been there too. As a therapist, plus-size woman, and world traveler, I know how hard it is to find joy when you’re constantly adjusting yourself to fit in. That’s why I’ve designed every retreat with inclusion, rest, and real connection at the core.

Whether you’re unmasking for the first time or learning how to take up space unapologetically, these retreats are about more than just travel, they’re about finding your people and feeling seen.

This is your invitation to rest, reconnect, and show up fully.
