Sometimes a wellness retreat is all about a farm-to-table feast. A simple massage peppered with locally sourced products, a leisurely read, and lights out at 8 PM. And sometimes, it is a round-trip ticket to a far-flung place to indulge in rituals beyond the imagination. Learn lifelong habits of loving yourself this February and gift yourself with endless rewards and positive practices. Here are a few ideas, and remember to put yourself on the list.

Palyma the House of AiA – in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
What makes an intimacy wellness retreat the ideal gift that couples will appreciate long after the suitcases have been put away? And why is it that vacation sex is always steamy, passionate, and memorable? Maybe it is because we have unpacked the daily grind and left behind the relentless expectations, responsibilities, and doingness.
What if you could book an intimacy retreat that gives you all the tools you need to build a long-term, dynamic sexual relationship with someone you love, where you would feel seen, heard, and wanted? When you work with Xanet Pailet, coach and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life: Heal Yourself and Awaken Your Pleasure, you will enjoy complete liberation from everyday life, from the children to the housework.
