A Private Sanctuary for Women in Transition
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and feeling frustrated with your changing body…
If your sleep is lighter.
If your energy dips without warning.
If your moods feel unfamiliar.
If you’re tired of being the strong one…
You are not failing.
You are in transition.
Essential Elevations offers private midlife retreats in Volcano, CA — a quiet, rustic, bodywork-forward sanctuary designed for deep rest and real recalibration.
What Makes This Different
This isn’t a resort-style spa with a long list of amenities to “get through.”
This is a small, private women’s retreat in Northern California rooted in what actually helps:
- skilled, nurturing bodywork
- unhurried time
- a calm, consent based space to rest, reset, and feel steadier in your body again
No crowds. No performance.
No rushing back into life mid-exhale.
