"Abby’s Hot Springs retreat was an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. Abby is a wealth of knowledge and has such a giving heart. She truly wants everyone to be their healthiest self, mentally, physically and emotionally. Taking time to recharge and rediscover yourself is something everyone needs to do now and then. Having a few days of self reflection and growth was exactly what my soul needed. I can’t wait for the next one! Such great memories!"

"I have been on 6 Well Weekends and they all offered something unique. A Wellness Weekend is a place you can speak and not be judged. Vacations are great, retreating with positive, strong women...life changing!"

"Abby's Well Weekends are a breath of fresh air, much needed "me" time and a wonderful time to connect with new friends. I can't express how much these well weekends feed my mind, body and soul."

"Yosemite was amazing! Breathtaking views as we hiked the beautiful waterfalls, and the evening belly laughs at the pizza party. However, Lake Tahoe has my heart. My souls feels at peace near the water. Its beauty from seeing it from the plane in the sky to viewing on ground though... just wow! My favorite was yoga by the water one morning, the calmness, the sun shining on us, and being in tune with me. Ahhh!! Such great memories!"

"I came to the 2018 Well Weekend (Napa Valley) not quite sure what to expect. What I found was a group of welcoming, kind women from all over the country looking to make themselves a priority and to build relationships with each other. The food was great, the location was great and the company was the best part!"
