Retreat Origins

Introducing Just Breathe:

A one-of-a-kind retreat that focuses on deepening partnership, intimacy and connection through through a combination of breathwork and mindfulness practices.

A Note from Beth:

Just Breathe was born out of my desire to help couples reconnect and manage their conflicts more effectively. I noticed that many of my clients were becoming overwhelmed during therapy sessions, making resolving conflicts difficult. I realized that if this was happening in the therapy room, it was likely also happening at home. After a decade of observing couples get stuck in the same conflicts, I realized the importance of a calm and regulated central nervous system during conflict discussions. I drew on my own experience of learning to be less reactive in my relationships through consistent meditation. I began teaching my clients how to become more aware of their emotional reactivity. This led me to collaborate with Dr. Sarah Anne Rothman, a Naturopathic Doctor and Breathwork Retreat Leader, to create a holistic retreat that promotes inner peace, harmony in relationship, inspiration and deep connection. We're both thrilled to share this unique experience with you.

Breathwork with Dr. Sarah Rothman:

Breathwork is a deeply healing and sacred ancient practice. It is one of the most powerful modalities I have ever witnessed and is so beautiful and efficient because it is all about self-exploration and self-healing. It honours the medicine within you. It is an active and energizing form of breathwork that goes deep beyond words.

It brings out the medicine within you.

It can help spread light, move stagnation and old stuck energies, emotions, and patterns. It can help release trauma, grief, and pain that we may carry from our childhood, our lineage and our environment. It can help deepen self-love as well as love and compassion for everything that surrounds us. It can bring out the wildest joy and the most tender of tears. It is a beautiful practice to expand and explore creativity, connectedness, and purpose. It can help rekindle and reignite the spark, passion, compassion, and joy in relationships. I am in love with this work, as it has helped me and all those I have worked with expand on so many levels. One Breathwork Healing session can feel like 20 years of meditation, therapy, or yoga. It cracks the heart open quickly and is accessible to everyone.

The interior design of Just Breathe is inspired by mindfulness and relaxation, focusing on creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The design elements incorporate soft lighting, natural textures, and muted color palettes to promote relaxation. Using organic materials like wood and stone establishes a connection with nature and helps ground guests in a peaceful atmosphere. Additionally, including natural elements such as plants and water features serves as a reminder for guests to breathe and stay present in the moment. Overall, Just Breathe is a space where couples can disconnect from the outside world and focus on finding peace within themselves and their relationships.

Incredible energy, an abundance of love

and of course, high vibes.

Please note that if the retreat is cancelled due to force majeure, such as a pandemic, natural disaster, or travel restrictions, we will offer a rescheduled date instead of a refund.

Secure your Interview spot

We will be able to host 8 couples for this retreat

With an unwavering commitment to providing an unforgettable experience, we ensure that every couple who joins us embarks on a journey perfectly tailored to their needs and desires.

In order to maintain the intimate and personalized atmosphere that defines Just Breathe, space is limited to just eight couples. To ensure that this serene haven aligns seamlessly with the aspirations and expectations of each couple, we have implemented a thoughtful selection process. Every interested duo is invited to partake in an interview, allowing us to delve into their unique stories, desires, and intentions. Through this process, we curate a group of like-minded individuals whose aspirations harmonize and complement one another, fostering a transformative environment for all.

As we understand that life can be unpredictable, we have reserved a few interview slots leading up to the retreat, even after the initial selection process. This allows for any unforeseen cancellations and provides an opportunity for eager couples to join us on short notice. Additionally, those who interview but are unable to secure a spot will be added to our "first to know" list for our upcoming retreats, ensuring they remain informed and prioritized for future opportunities.

Join us at Just Breathe, where intimate connection and personal growth intertwine in an idyllic setting. Let us create the perfect backdrop for your journey toward renewed love and profound experiences.

Retreat Hosts

Beth Wylie

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I am A Conflict Navigator and Empathetic Mediator. I'm someone who loves to help others navigate through conflict, providing empathy and assistance whenever I can. I'm also funny, loving, anxious, and passionate. Sometimes, I'm guilty of having double standards for the people in my life. I'm also a mother, daughter, wife, and friend. In 2018, I got sober, which opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me to show up in a better way in my relationships and the world, including learning how to use my breath to calm my central nervous system.

I have developed expertise in couples therapy as a licensed marriage and family therapist in Hawaii and WA state. I am a level III trained Gottman Therapist, Bringing Baby Home Educator, and a relationship workshop facilitator. I also hold the credentials from Hawaii to perform Marriage ceremonies.

I find tremendous fulfillment in this work. My specialty is creating a comfortable and safe space for two individuals to explore their actions, goals, and efforts. Relationships have always been a central focus of mine. Over the past decade, I have come to appreciate the profound impact that trauma can have on our central nervous system and overall well-being. I am fascinated by how our brains and past traumatic experiences affect our ability to navigate conflicts. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients understand their physiological responses and how they can impact their ability to solve problems.

I offer virtual couples counseling and marriage therapy for individuals living in any of the Hawaiian Islands and Washington State. I also provide in-person couples intensives in the Upcountry area and couples therapy retreats throughout the year .

I strongly believe that having a positive mental attitude is essential to achieving success in both personal and professional life. In my experience working with couples, adopting a PMA perspective has proven to be beneficial in strengthening relationships. Being kind and forgiving towards oneself can lead to greater empathy and understanding towards others.

Dr. Sarah Anne Rothman

Certified Naturopathic Doctor

I am a Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, Breathwork Facilitator and Mama of two. I am a lover of the ocean, the trees, neon green moss after the rain, the medicine in plants, flowers and food, people, giggles, sunshine and barefeet.

I value an integrative approach to health, through preventative medicine, functional medicine, mindfulness and individualized treatment.

I encourage you to take an active role in your health and honor your body's innate ability to heal.

Healing in all its forms ignites me. I am honored to bear witness to it daily, in myself and in all the amazing humans I have met on this journey.

I am a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor in California, Hawaii, and British Columbia and a Nationally Licensed Acupuncturist. I am currently offering patient visits through telemedicine for those near and far and in person on Maui and in California. I also offer Retreats and Breathwork programs all over the world, as I am passionate about group medicine, integrating mind and body, functionality and frequency and embodiment of the ethereal.

With a background in clinical practice, I have received extensive training in Women's Health, Fertility Thyroid Health, and Pediatrics. My experience also includes working in clinics and hospitals abroad, particularly in Bolivia, as well as collaborating with patients and physicians in rural natural health and homeopathic clinics in Kenya. For over a decade, I founded and served as the Medical Director of Thyme Integrative Health, a leading Integrative Health Clinic in Northern California that brought together and managed a diverse group of practitioners, including psychologists, integrative MDs, midwives, physical therapists, naturopathic doctors, and acupuncturists.

I believe that how we choose to nourish and move our bodies is integral to overall health. I believe strongly in the power of food as medicine, the healing potential of herbs and nutrients, and the importance of mindfulness and breath in health.

I work with and see YOU as a complex, fascinating, and whole person.
