Radiance Retreat

For years, I moved through the world feeling like I had to shrink, in size, in voice, in spirit. As a plus-size woman and therapist, I often felt like I didn’t belong in wellness spaces. I’ve been the one packing walking sticks in case there weren't handrails, holding my breath during excursions, and quietly wondering if I was too much.

Everything changed when I found people and places that made room for all of me. Not to fix me, but to welcome me. That kind of healing reshaped how I saw myself, and I knew I had to offer it to others.

I created Manifest Wellness Retreats to be the space I wish I’d had. A space where joy isn’t conditional. Where bodies aren’t policed. Where rest, connection, and radiance aren’t earned, they’re your birthright. You don’t have to change to belong. You just have to show up. And I’ll be here to welcome you.
