Overwhelmed, stressed, and looking for a way to re-center yourself? To remember who you were before being a mom? This was literally MADE FOR YOU!
Mom – Meet You Again!
A Weekend to Find the Woman you’ve ALWAYS Been
Join us for an Intimate Retreat: October 24th – 26th, 2025 in the catskill mountains!
Motherhood changed you. Maybe your body is changing too. But your confidence, joy, and sensuality? Those are yours to keep.
Join us for a 3-day luxury retreat in the Catskill Mountains, designed exclusively for moms who are ready to reconnect with their confidence, sensuality, and true selves—at every stage of life.
This retreat is a holistic experience designed to nurture every part of you—your mental health, sexual wellness, physical strength, and your relationship with your body. Through empowering conversations, movement tailored to your stage of life, confidence-boosting photography, and a safe space to be fully seen, you’ll leave feeling more connected to yourself than ever before.
What Awaits you?
Let us handle everything—meals, schedules, and even the cozy beds—while you finally get to do that wild thing called self-love. That’s right: no grocery lists, no chauffeuring to soccer practice, no splitting chicken nuggets five ways. Just rest, reconnection, and real conversations that are all about you.
Your weekend will include:

Krista Hudson – Your Coach for Overwhelmed Moms
Certified Life Coach | Owner of Hudson Life Coaching
www.HudsonLifeCoaching.com | FB & IG: @HudsonLifeCoaching
Between the laundry piles, and endless car rides to activities, I found something surprising….me. I’m Krista Hudson, mom of three, music lover, hoodie collector, and life coach dedicated to helping moms rediscover themselves through the beautiful chaos of Motherhood.
At this retreat, I will be guiding workshops to help you set powerful intentions and reconnect with the woman within; the one inside all the roles, the noise, and the constant to-dos. Through journaling, deep reflection, clarity building exercises, and real conversation, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and gain clarity on how you truly want your life to feel and look like. You’ll walk away with simple tools to bring more ease, confidence, and alignment into your everyday life.
Eleni Economides – Your Sexual Wellness & Intimacy Coach
Owner of New Intimacy Coaching for Women | Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
www.NewIntimacy.com | IG: @TheLibidoCoach
Eleni is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and a Sexual Wellness and Intimacy Coach for women.
She works with women with low libido and helps them remove the blocks to their sexual desire so they can experience more joy and pleasure in their intimate relationship. Motherhood is one of the biggest identity shifts in a woman’s life. This shift comes with lots of joy and fulfillment, but also with what seems like the loss of a part of us that once was something more and that often has a huge impact on our connection to our sexuality and our sexual desire.
At this retreat, Eleni will lead a Sexual Wellness and Intimacy Workshop. This will be a space to discuss the female experience of motherhood and explore ways to reconnect to our sexual selves.
Natalie Grace – Your Menopause , Exercise, & Nutrition Expert
Owner of Graceful Bodyworks | Licensed Massage Therapist
www.GracefulBodyworks.com | IG: @Stronger.Through.Menopause | FB: @GracefulBodyworks
Licensed Massage Therapist. Menopause Strength Coach. Lazy Nutritionist. Hype woman for women who are tired of running on empty. With over a two decades of helping women reconnect with their strength — not just physically, but emotionally , too, Natalie blends body knowledge, evidence-based strategies, and just the right amount of real-talk to help women feel empowered in their skin (especially when that skin is navigating stress, hormones, or motherhood).
At this retreat, she’ll be guiding three signature experiences: an evening movement session to help you exhale the week and settle into rest, a hands-on nutrition class where we will prep and enjoy a meal together, and an educational session that breaks down what to expect when you are expecting menopause. You won’t just leave this retreat feeling better — you’ll leave feeling more you.

Where you will be staying:
Your FAQs….Answered!
What are the sleeping arrangements?
We’re staying in a beautiful, cozy home in the Catskill Mountains with bunk-bed style accommodations. Think summer camp energy—but way more luxurious (and no one’s making you do dishes). Expect late-night chats, shared laughs, and your own comfy space. There are 2 full bathrooms available in the house, with an additional 3rd full bathroom available steps away in the yoga room.
Are all meals covered?
All meals except one are covered! On Saturday night, we’ll go out to a local restaurant as a group. We’ll treat you to shared appetizers, and you’ll cover your own entrée + drinks if you’d like them.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We’ve got you. You’ll fill out a short form before the retreat so we can accommodate any dietary needs, preferences, or allergies with love and care.
Do my kids have to be of a certain age for me to Join?
No! This is open to moms in all stages of their lives. Whether you still have kiddos running around in diapers, or are an empty nester, this retreat is for you!
I don’t know anyone going. Will I feel awkward?
Not for long. This retreat is intentionally intimate (just 11 attendees) and carefully crafted to help you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. You’ll leave with connections—and friendships—you didn’t know you needed.
Can I come late or leave early if I have other obligations?
Life happens! While we hope you’ll be able to experience the full retreat, we understand that Friday arrival may be tricky. That evening is designed to be more casual so latecomers won’t miss any of the core programming.
Do I need to have experience with boudoir or feel confident in front of a camera?
Not at all! Most women who join us have never done anything like this before. You’ll be fully guided through each pose during your Confidence Portrait Experience—no modeling skills required. And you’ll be surrounded by women cheering you on the whole way. It’s about confidence, not perfection.
What should I wear for the boudoir photos?
Whatever makes you feel good. That might be lingerie, a cozy robe, a tank and undies, or even a favorite oversized sweater. You’ll get prep tips before the retreat, and we’ll help you choose what feels most empowering once you’re here.
Boudoir for Every Body:
Think you need a “certain kind of body” to do a boudoir shoot? Think again.
Every woman featured below is a mom—of different ages, shapes, sizes, and seasons of life. None of them are models. All of them showed up with nerves. And every single one left feeling powerful, beautiful, and fully seen. These images are proof that you don’t need to change a thing about yourself to be worthy of celebration.
Hello there, Beautiful Soul!
I’m Jolana! I am the Owner of The PHOTOGRAPHY Experience
And my life goal is to Eat, Hike, and Photograph my way around the world, all while empowering everyone I meet… not necessarily in that order :P!
Let me start off by saying that I’m a huge goof. I love anything food and travel related, am a little too sarcastic for my own good, and am a huge optimist. I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie: Give me heights, rock climbing, new experiences, crazy local foods, and a camera to capture it all with. Outside of photography, I am a writer, and am actually a published author for a book of poems I created with a close friend of mine titled….you ready for this? “Tales from the Toilet: A collection of Poems.” Yes, you read that right. I am also currently working on a novel!
I am a sucker for Human Connection. I truly believe that is our purpose here on this planet, and my purpose is to capture it. To capture those awe-inspiring moments, to remind us how we felt in a specific moment of time, and to show others the emotions we cannot express otherwise.
I also believe it is up to us to help preserve this beautiful planet of ours, and to soak in all the wonders this planet has to offer. Getting to combine these two things… well… I couldn’t ask for a better job <3
SO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PASSIONS, YOUR LOVE, AND YOUR DREAMS… AND LET’S MAKE THEM HAPPEN!
xoxo,
Jolana
