For the woman who does it all... and needs a moment for herself
Are you always on? The one holding it down at work and for her family? If you love your life… but are ready to feel a little more alive in it, then this is FOR YOU!
This isn't just a "girls' trip", it's your chance to get outside, get grounded, and feel that thrill of "Wow! I'm really doing this!"
This is the reset you didn’t know you needed!
Because you’re craving more than just a break—you’re craving a shift. You do so much for others, juggle all the things, and rarely pause long enough to ask, “What do I need?” This Retreat is your answer.
Pacific to Peaks is for the woman who’s ready to step out of the noise and into the now. For the one who yearns for adventure but also deeply needs rest. Who wants meaningful connection, room to breathe, and time to just be herself—no roles, no expectations.
From the salty breeze of the Pacific to the stillness of Yosemite’s granite peaks, this journey invites you to return to yourself. To remember what lights you up. And to come home not just refreshed—but reawakened.
You’ll be in the company of incredible women—mothers, nuturers, leaders, creatives—who are all carving out time for themselves, maybe for the first time in a long while.
Some are traveling solo, some with a sister or best friend—but all are showing up with open hearts and a shared desire to reconnect with their inner spark. They’re the kind of women who cheer each other on, laugh easily, and know the value of a well-earned exhale.
My promise?
By the end of this retreat, you’ll feel recharged, more connected to yourself, and deeply inspired to carry that presence back into your everyday life—with clarity, joy, and a renewed sense of wonder.
This is a beautifully curated experience designed with you in mind.
What truly sets it apart? The heart behind it.
This retreat was created for women who do so much for others—and are finally ready to do something just for themselves.
It’s personal, intentional, and rooted in connection, not crowds.

If you’re anything like me, life can get so full—of people you love, of work and volunteering you care about, of responsibilities that never seem to pause. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was craving something just for me.
Travel has always been that space where I reconnect with myself. It’s where I remember who I am outside of all the roles I play. It’s where I celebrate my spirit, my curiosity, and my wonder of the world. Every new place teaches me something—about life, about others, and about myself.
I created the Pacific to Peaks Retreat because I believe every woman deserves a chance to have an experience of her own. A moment to breathe, to explore, to laugh until her cheeks hurt. To come home not just with photos—but with a renewed sense of joy, clarity, and connection.
If you’ve been needing that, I hope you’ll join me.
With heart,
Janey Jewell
