Essential Elevations

Private Retreats for Women in Midlife Transition

Volcano & Jackson, California

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and feeling the shift — in your body, your energy, your relationships, or your identity — you’re not crazy. You’re changing.

Midlife isn’t a breakdown.

It’s a turning point.

And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’m Brandy LaRae. I create private therapeutic retreats and grounded in-office care for women moving through menopause, caregiving fatigue, divorce, reinvention, and that quiet but persistent question: What do I want now?

My work is unhurried.

Intentional.

Intuitive.

Deeply nurturing

Private Overnight Retreats

Volcano, California

My signature offering is a private three-hour or overnight retreat on seven wooded acres in Volcano.

This is not a spa day.

It’s a structured, therapeutic experience designed to help your nervous system soften and your body feel safe again.

You’ll stay in a private guest suite with separate entrance and bath.

You’ll receive skilled, intuitive touch.

You’ll have space to rest afterward — without rushing back into responsibility.

Come alone for a true reset.

Or bring a friend and share the experience in a quiet, intentional way.

This is where women come when they’re done pushing through.

Therapeutic Massage

Jackson, California

If you prefer steady, ongoing support, I offer individualized massage therapy at Global Healing Arts in Jackson.

This is grounded, practical bodywork especially supportive for:

• Perimenopause and menopause

• Chronic discomfort

• Hormonal shifts and sleep disruption

• Caregiver fatigue

• Stress-related tension

• Nervous system regulation

Steady care.

No rush.

No pressure to perform wellness.

About Brandy LaRae

I’m a massage therapist, hypnotherapist, former childbirth educator and doula, mother, and lifelong caregiver.

After years of supporting women through birth and major life transitions, I saw the pattern clearly:

Women know how to hold everything together.

They rarely get held long enough for it to matter.

Essential Elevations is my answer to that.

I don’t stack appointments.

I build in time and space to settle in.

I work slowly and intentionally.

Whether you’re walking into my Jackson office or arriving for a retreat in Volcano, you’re stepping into care that is steady, experienced, and real.

I’m genuinely glad you’re here.
