Meet YOUR HOST...
Hey, I'm Ariel
Women’s Health & Fitness Coach. Self-Care Enthusiast. The Burnout Whisperer. International Retreat Host.
As a current CEO and ex-HR corporate leader, I know that it can feel damn near impossible to juggle work life, home life, social life — while taking the best care of yourself.
But I know that it is possible.
So I’ve committed my life’s work to creating spaces for ambitious women, like you, to choose themselves without the guilt.
This international self-care retreat is one of those spaces. It was designed for women to escape from the to-do lists, take time to de-stress, and just…LIVE.
If you want to be intentional about taking a break, this retreat is for you. I’m excited for you to join me in Thailand in!
