The Exhale Method
You share your vision. I handle the rest.
Bespoke Wellness Retreat Curation
A highly-personalized concierge service for women navigating demanding responsibilities and new transitions, who are craving balance, renewal, and time away to reconnect with themselves.
The Exhale Method Promise
Your 7-day personalized wellness immersion will reset your nervous system through evidence-based practices such as guided activities, breathwork, mindful nutrition, and sleep-supportive routines.
You'll return home with tools to sustain your reset on the long term and measurable improvements in your energy, focus and overall wellbeing.
You don’t need more willpower.
You need a calm, clear place to come back to yourself.
You pride yourself on handling everything
but lately even simple decisions feel heavy and you worry you’re operating on fumes.
You’ve taken weekend breaks or spa getaways before,
yet the relief never lasts and you return feeling just as depleted as when you left.
You know something needs to change
but the idea of researching, planning, and coordinating a retreat only adds to your mental load.
You appear composed to others
but inside you’re running on reserve energy and quietly longing for space to exhale without being needed.
This is where The Exhale Method comes in.
I take the planning, pressure, and uncertainty off your plate so you can focus on what truly matters: restoring your energy.
Nice to meet you!
I was born in France, lived 15 years in Spain, and eventually built my life in the United States. Speaking English, French, and Spanish allows me to coordinate retreats with ease across borders and cultures.
Before creating Curated Retreat, I worked for years in high-stakes environments serving affluent clients, where precision and discretion were essential. Motherhood then revealed how deeply women need intentional space to reset.
As a certified wellness retreat advisor, I now curate restorative retreats for women who want clarity, calm, and a grounded return to themselves. My direct partnerships with leading wellness resorts give you secure access, preferred treatment, and insider insight that protects your investment.
Curated Retreat exists so you can step away without the stress of planning and come home feeling genuinely renewed.
You’re burnt out because you’re overdue for an experience that restores you.
How I help you step into a transformative reset
I will match you with the wellness retreat environment that aligns with your goals, energy levels, and current season of life.
Curate a fully tailored 7-day program including therapies, expert-led sessions, and structure designed to support physical, emotional, and hormonal restoration.
Coordinate all travel logistics, transfers, and arrangements so you can step away without managing a single detail.
Secure access to preferred rates, wellness practitioners, and VIP amenities through direct industry partnerships.
Prepare you for departure with a streamlined itinerary and integration guidance so your reset begins before you travel and continues after you return.
My purpose is to give you a trip that gives you back a feeling of calm and restoration.
When you finally step away and return restored, you will:
Think and make decisions from a calm, grounded place instead of reacting from exhaustion or urgency.
Show up in your work and relationships with renewed energy and clarity, without needing to push through depletion.
Reconnect with who you are outside of your responsibilities, strengthening your confidence and alignment in the next season of your life.
Have tools, practices, and structure that help you maintain your reset long after you return, instead of slipping back into survival mode.
Recognize that pausing is not a luxury but a strategic choice, and prioritizing your wellbeing becomes a non-negotiable in how you live and lead.
What we’ll work on:
Clarifying your wellness priorities and intentions
So we align your retreat with what you most need in this season of your life. We’ll explore where you are today, what’s impacting your energy, and what you want to experience when you return.
Selecting the retreat environment and program that matches your intentions
Whether you need deep structure or gentle restoration. This includes guidance on activity levels, therapeutic modalities, and expert-led sessions appropriate for your current mental, physical, and hormonal state.
Designing your personalized retreat itinerary
Including daily structure, spa treatments, wellness consultations, movement practices, or therapeutic experiences such as equine therapy, breathwork, or functional diagnostics (depending on the property).
Preparing you for departure with intention
Using a streamlined process that ensures everything is organized, including travel logistics, schedule, packing guide, and mindset preparation so you can begin releasing pressure before you travel.

FAQs
I’ve tried similar strategies and they didn’t work for me.
Many women try spa weekends, staycations, cabin escapes, or even design their own retreats with friends. Those experiences may offer brief relief, but they rarely address real depletion. You’re not just tired, you’re depleted. And that requires more than a weekend escape.
I don’t want to come back and lose momentum.
Many retreats include post-stay support with follow-up calls, continuation plans, or guided integration.
Long-term momentum is reinforced by treating wellness retreats as part of a yearly recalibration, not a one-off reset.
What happens if something unexpected comes up while I’m away?
Every retreat includes comprehensive travel insurance for disruptions, medical needs, or trip interruption.
You also receive a “Life Happens” package outlining emergency steps and who to contact.
If something occurs during your trip, I act as your direct point of contact and handle all necessary adjustments on your behalf.
I’m not sure I can commit to an entire week.
If a full seven-day reset is not possible, many resorts offer three- or four-night programs. These shorter stays deliver meaningful impact and often become the catalyst for a longer future retreat.
I’m worried I’m not in the right physical or mental place to get the most out of this experience.
You don’t need to be in perfect physical condition or already living a wellness lifestyle. That’s why you work with a certified wellness retreat advisor.
Using The Exhale Method®, I identify where you are today and what you need. Many retreats also offer pre-arrival consultations to tailor your schedule with specialists.
You have direct access to me for questions, adjustments, or reassurance. You are fully supported from the moment you decide to go until you return home.
I don’t understand exactly what I’m getting working with you
We begin with a complimentary discovery call to clarify your vision and determine the right planning package.
Within three business days of paying your planning fee, you receive up to three curated retreat options.
You choose between two planning paths:
• Concierge Path: high-touch support, follow-up calls, preparation emails, pre-departure briefing, WhatsApp access.
• Executive Path: streamlined support with a dedicated app and pre-recorded guidance.
Regardless of the path, I manage all logistical coordination. You are supported from our first conversation through your return home.
Make it stand out.

"Sandy was absolutely amazing from start to finish in this booking. The proposal she made was clear and all the hotels she suggested did check all our requirements. The presentation of them was clear and she was always available to answer any questions that we had. We didn’t have to wait long for her reply (despite the time change between us). I’m definitely recommending her to everyone who needs the planning of a trip to be taking off their shoulders. And next time we need, she’s the first person I’m calling. Thank you for everything Sandy!"
