Born From a Defining Moment

The Story That Sparked a Movement

It began in a hospital room. A diagnosis. A moment of stillness after a life lived in motion. In 2016, Tracy faced a life-threatening health crisis that changed everything — not just her lifestyle, but her purpose. In the chaos of uncertainty, she didn’t just survive. She saw a vision. Not for recovery alone, but for rebirth — her own, and eventually so many others’.

Unwrap the Best You was born not from despair, but from design: to create the kind of wellness experience the world was missing — one that honors the whole woman. Not just her symptoms, but her story. Not just her performance, but her presence.

But this isn’t just a wellness event. This is a recalibration point. A sanctuary. A launchpad. A room full of women who are no longer waiting to be invited into their lives — they are claiming them, fully. Some come to heal. Others come to rise. Many come already whole — but ready to live even more fully aligned.

This three-day immersive experience is a convergence of community, clarity, and conscious leadership. With heart-centered speakers, immersive workshops, and storytelling that peels back the noise, women reconnect with their best selves — and with each other.

You won’t be asked to fix yourself. You’ll be invited to feel, to rise, and to live more truthfully. Because this isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you are — and unapologetically becoming more of her.

This is Unwrap the Best You. It’s not just a retreat. It’s a return. Not just to health. To wholeness. To leadership. To you.

A Flow of Interconnected Wholeness

The Interwoven Rhythm of a Thriving Life

A woman’s journey is far more than a series of life stages — it’s a complex, evolving dance of emotion, identity, connection, and purpose. This year, we invite you to come home to your heart. Guided by the Four Chambers of Heartful Living — Resonance, Connection, Vitality and Direction — this immersive experience honors the fullness of who you are. It’s a space to pause, reflect and realign with what matters most.

Through storytelling, movement, rest, connection and intentional growth, we’ll explore the layered experience of womanhood — not as a problem to fix, but a heart to nourish.

This is a journey of rebuilding, reclaiming, and realigning — not just for our health, but for our wholeness. Because your heart hasn’t just carried you this far — it’s calling you forward.

Listen to the wisdom within

Tune Into Your Inner Truth

You have an inner wisdom that has never steered you wrong. Resonance is the art of tuning back into that truth — gently clearing away the noise, the doubts, and the distractions. When you listen to the quiet knowing inside, you find emotional clarity, self-trust, and the courage to live from your heart. In this space, your authenticity hums like a steady song, guiding your every step.

You are not meant to journey alone

The relationships that surround you can either dim or ignite your spirit. Connection invites you to step into spaces where you are seen, heard, and cherished — where you belong, just as you are. It’s in the giving and receiving of authentic connection that deeper meaning takes root. Here, you remember: healing happens best together.

Awaken the Energy Within You

Your body is a sacred vessel

Vitality is the life force that fuels your every breath, your every dream. It calls you to honor your body not through striving, but through devotion — nourishing it with movement, rest, and care. When you tend to your energy with kindness, you reclaim your strength from within. A vibrant, resilient life is yours to cultivate.

Live with Purpose, Move with Intention

Your values are the compass that lead

Direction is the quiet pull toward a life that feels fully your own. It is clarity born from knowing what matters most — and letting those truths guide your steps. When you align your actions with your values, every choice becomes an act of devotion to the life you are building. You are not lost; you are on your way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Women Like You Want to Know

Planning your experience should feel as good as the event itself. Below are answers to our most commonly asked questions — so you can arrive informed, confident, and ready to Unwrap the BEST You.

Come as you are. Many women attend solo — and often leave with lifelong friends. Whether you arrive with a group or walk in by yourself, you’ll be embraced by a welcoming community from the start.
Especially if you are. This space was created for real women living real lives. You don’t need to be “on top of your game” to attend — just open to growth, support, and whatever healing looks like for you right now.
100%. We’re all about alignment over archetypes. Whether you’re into crystals or spreadsheets, introvert or extrovert, high heels or house shoes — if you’re a woman looking to grow, you’re in the right place.
All kinds. Professionals, creatives, moms, caretakers, entrepreneurs, teachers, retirees — women in leadership, women just trying to catch their breath. What we have in common? We’re all here to live more truthfully and intentionally.
It’s a little of both — but mostly, it’s unlike anything you’ve been to before. Think: speaker sessions that stir your soul, wellness activities that recharge your body, and sisterhood that reminds you who you are.
Both. We go deep and we go high. You’ll cry. You’ll laugh. You’ll dance (maybe). The vibe is safe, soul-nourishing, and celebratory — with plenty of quiet reflection time in between.
We build in space to breathe. Yes, there’s an exciting lineup — but there are also grounding moments to recharge, reflect, and just be. You won’t need a vacation after this one.
Absolutely. You don’t need to come with a five-year plan. Sometimes the most powerful shifts happen when we simply show up with an open heart.
