“Jessie’s retreats are life-changing experiences.”

Are you craving a restorative and transformative wellness experience?


There are no lectures in cold, windowless conference rooms. There are no lanyards or crowds. There are no buffets with chafing dishes heated by Sterno flames.

At all Pause & Presence physician wellness retreats:

We enjoy delicious, healthy, and beautiful culinary creations made with love.

We sit together at a table surrounded by nature pouring through the windows.

Group coaching and workshops take place on cozy, comfortable couches, under trees, on mountaintops, or by the pool.

Each retreat agenda is crafted intentionally to optimize pleasure, learning, and transformation.

  • “Amazing!! I highly recommend Jessie's retreats. I have attended twice and am going back again!!!

    She is a wise, compassionate, and supportive coach. The small size of the retreats makes it very personal. Mark's cooking is delicious and nourishing. The mix of yoga, coaching, mindfulness, and wonderful plant-forward meals is magic. And lots of laughter and fun! It has been helpful to me both professionally and personally. Jessie has tons of content available for free between her podcast and yoga classes (on YouTube)--check it out. If you like what you see, you'll love working with Jessie for coaching or one of her retreats. Maybe I'll see you there!! ❤️“
