Whatever Nicole did, sending Reiki vibes my way worked! I went from having the fertility office suggest cancelling an upcoming IVF appointment to having six follicles that are ready for retrieval.

This was my first reiki session and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Nicole guided me through the experience and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed to give and receive energy. Nicole is very gifted at her craft and genuinely cares about her clients throughout each session, before and after. I can't wait for my next session!

Nicole doesn’t just know the poses – she understands the human body. My hips were destroyed from sports, and surgery left me with flexibility issues. Nicole found counter-intuitive movements that worked magic, released the muscles, and made my hips looser than they’ve been in years! Even my
physical therapist couldn’t deliver the relief she did!

A Retreat Space That Supports You
Support when you want it, space when you don’t
We created Beyond Stays and Retreats to make hosting meaningful experiences more accessible. Securing a location can often be the most time consuming and costly part of planning a retreat or gathering. Our goal was to simplify that process by offering a ready to use space that feels supportive, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared.
Here, retreat leaders and hosts can offer meaningful experiences at a reasonable price without sacrificing beauty, comfort, or support. The natural flow of the home allows groups to move easily between connection, rest, and reflection, creating an experience that feels easeful for both hosts and guests.
This is a home designed for connection, comfort, and flow. Flexible gathering areas, cozy sleeping arrangements, and an environment that naturally encourages rest allow retreats and gatherings to unfold in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and unforced. The space easily supports moments of group connection as well as quiet time for reflection and restoration.
Beyond Stays and Retreats is supported by a thoughtful network of trusted health and wellness practitioners. We are happy to share a curated resource list that includes health and wellness coaches, life coaches, career coaches, yoga teachers, Reiki masters, and other practitioners with a wide range of specializations and training backgrounds. Whether you are looking to add gentle movement, energy work, guided reflection, or coaching support to your gathering, these resources are available to help you shape an experience that aligns with your vision.
Support Without Pressure
We believe the most meaningful retreats and gatherings unfold when hosts feel supported rather than managed. At Beyond Stays and Retreats, we are intentional about not micromanaging your experience or imposing a rigid structure. This is your gathering, your people, and your vision. Our role is to support that vision, not control it.
For hosts who would like guidance, we are available for consultation throughout the planning process. This may include talking through ideas, exploring the natural flow of the home, thinking through group schedules, or identifying ways the space can best support rest, connection, and intention. For those who prefer to plan independently, we respect that fully. Support is always optional and offered as a resource, not a requirement.
You are welcome to bring your own facilitators, teachers, and practitioners. If additional support feels helpful, we are happy to share options and availability for local practitioners who align with your retreat goals and values. Whether you are hosting a wellness retreat, a corporate offsite, or a personal gathering, we are here to answer questions, help you understand the rhythm of the space, and ensure you and your guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and at ease.
The teachers and practitioners connected with Beyond Stays and Retreats bring a wide range of offerings that can be thoughtfully woven into your retreat or gathering. Depending on availability and your vision, support may include yoga and mindful movement, restorative and yin practices, meditation and breathwork, Reiki and energy work, somatic and body based experiences, sound and vibration sessions, and guided reflection or integration. Coaching support may also be available, including health and wellness coaching, life coaching, and career focused coaching, for retreats that incorporate goal setting, transition, or personal growth. Each practitioner brings their own training, style, and approach, allowing hosts to curate experiences that feel aligned, intentional, and supportive of their group.
Our intention is to create a setting where you feel confident leading your gathering, supported when you want it, and free to let the experience unfold naturally.
A Place to Gather, Rest, and Reconnect
Beyond Stays and Retreats is more than a location. It is a place where retreat leaders can offer experiences that feel intentional, nourishing, and accessible. A place where guests arrive, soften, and leave feeling restored and whole.
If you are interested in hosting a retreat, we would love to hear your vision.
Share your dates, group size, and the type of experience you hope to create, and we will connect with you to explore what is possible.
