There is a place in the woods that is waiting for you.
Seven private acres in the Sierra foothills, where the trees are tall and the quiet is real.
No agenda.
No performance.
No one needing anything from you.
This is your sanctuary, your clubhouse in the woods— the place you slip away to when the weight of ordinary life has been carried long enough.
Where someone tends to you for a change.
Where your body gets to exhale, your mind gets to wander, and you are allowed — fully, completely allowed — to do absolutely nothing.
Come for an afternoon.
Stay the night.
Let the property work on you before the bodywork even begins.
Essential Elevations exists for the moments when you most need it and you are always welcome here.
ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR:
Those navigating hormonal shifts, fatigue, or disrupted sleep
Those carrying caregiver exhaustion
People in the middle of a big life change — divorce, reinvention, loss, becoming
Couples wanting to slow down and reconnect in a space that holds them well
Those who simply haven’t stopped in too long
The Pause
2 hours • Solo • $155
Available Weekday Mornings
2 hours set aside just for you.

– Herbal foot bath
– Yoni steam
– Apothecary blending station
Scheduling a monthly Pause with Brandy has help me navigate my grief and loneliness since my husband died. Susan, Pine Grove
The Reset
3 Hours • Solo, Duo, Couples • $255 + $55 additional guest.
Three hours to slow all the way down.
Your Reset flows through restorative bodywork in Brandy’s gentle, intuitive style — combined with the chi machine, aromatherapy steam facial, herbal foot bath, yoni steam, and the full apothecary.
Unhurried from beginning to end.
WHEN THERE ARE TWO OF YOU, CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE:
Individual Sessions
On the table, one at a time, in the same gentle intuitive style. While one person is being worked on, the other rests, steams, or wanders the property.
Restorative Touch
A side-by-side experience on yoga mats, weaving restorative yoga and gentle therapeutic touch. Both of you held at the same time — creating tranquility and memories.
After my cancer diagnosis, my sister planned a beautiful day wine tasting, concluding with a Reset at Brandys adorable place. The experience was already perfect, then I had my massage …just wow. Never in my life had I felt so safe and relaxed. Can not wait for my overnight experience in June.

Overnight Sanctuary
7pm – 10 am · Solo, Duo, Couples, or Small Group • $455 + $55 for each additional guest. Limit 4.
You arrive in the evening. You don’t have to be anywhere until morning.
There’s generous time to wander the property, sit in a hammock, take a steam, rest in the red light lounge, and simply be.
That’s the whole point.
Every year we plan an overnight retreat with Brandy. We loved her place in Plymouth and how convenient it was to the wineries, however her new places is so special. More grounded. Totally worth the drive. Hanging out in the hammocks after a massage in a silky robe as the sun sets is magical.”
