Hi, I’m Liesel

also known as the RETREAT QUEEN 👸

I’m here to create meaningful, unforgettable experiences that empower women and help build successful, profitable, value-driven retreats.

LET’S GET STARTED!

“How does someone who has fears about being in a room full of women end up on an island with about 200 of them?

I have close friends that are women, who I love dearly, but I have never been close with women. This retreat completely flipped that on its head. I met and bonded with so many amazing women at the retreat who were free with a smile, warm with affection and generous with love, and I will forever be grateful to have had this opportunity.”

Connecting women

“I had a most marvelous time at The Ultimate Girls Week Away. It was a true moment of communion to be able to spend time in paradise with so many diverse, extraordinary, brave, and searching women.

Over the course of the week, we all took turns playing the role of teachers, students, healers, role models. I will never forget my time in this powerful gathering space!”
