INTRODUCTION

Led by a Harvard-trained lifestyle & nutrition specialist, alongside expert guest speakers in women’s health, this retreat blends evidence‑based lifestyle medicine with slow, nourishing experiences that support the body, mind, and nervous system. This is not a retreat about fixing yourself or chasing transformation. It’s about feeling better in your body, supported in your choices, and confident in how you care for yourself—now and in the years ahead.

SUPPORT FOR YOUR BODY AND NERVOUS SYSTEM

  • Thoughtfully curated plant‑based meals that support energy, digestion, and metabolic health.

  • Yoga, walking, and optional kayaking focused on strength, balance, and mobility. All movement is adaptable, with plenty of space to rest and listen to your body.

  • Practical, realistic tools for stress management and nervous system regulation that you can bring home and use in everyday life.

  • Supportive conversations around sleep as a foundation for healing and resilience, plus meaningful social connection with women navigating a similar stage of life. The weekend is held in a mindful, alcohol-free environment that supports clarity, better sleep, overall vitality, and more genuine connection.

What You’ll Experience

Every element of the weekend is grounded in evidence-based lifestyle medicine, supporting:

Rachael Armenti

Rachael Armenti is a Harvard‑trained lifestyle and nutrition specialist who works with women over 50 who want to feel stronger, more energized, and more at ease in their everyday lives.

Her work blends evidence-based lifestyle medicine with deep respect for lived experience—because real change happens when information meets compassion. After navigating her own midlife health shifts, Rachael recognized that the advice that once worked no longer applied in the same way. Rather than pushing harder or chasing quick fixes, she embraced simple, evidence‑based lifestyle changes that support changing bodies with compassion and realism.

Through retreats and one‑on‑one coaching, Rachael guides women in building sustainable habits around nutrition, movement, stress management, sleep, and connection. Her approach is grounded, supportive, and flexible—focused on helping women understand their bodies and feel confident caring for them long term.

  • "You never know if you’ll click with a group of strangers, but I genuinely enjoyed every person I met at this retreat. Egos were left at the door, creating a space where everyone could speak openly and truly listen to one another The waterfront setting was beautiful, and the schedule struck the perfect balance between activities and downtime. We enjoyed a sound bath, drumming session, cooking demonstrations, makeup session, time management tips, morning yoga, kayaking, sauna time, and a visit to Blithewold Manor to tour the gardens and house. Each day left me feeling energized rather than exhausted, with plenty of time to relax and simply be. The plant-based meals were delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and caring. What stood out most was that the owner and CEO of Thrive, Rachael Armenti, genuinely wanted our feedback and valued what we hoped to gain from the experience. This retreat was time well spent, and I’m grateful to have met new, inspiring souls along the way."

    — Linda L.

  • "From my observation as the yoga instructor, it seemed each guest fully enjoyed their retreat experience. Five women arrived as strangers, each curious to explore new ways to enhance their lives and deepen their sense of well-bring. By the end of the retreat, they had formed meaningful friendships, leaving with a wealth of ideas, practical tools, and inspiration to strengthen their personal wellness practices. Well done!"

    — Michelle S.
