Our Mission
Leadership Coach • Counsellor • Retreat Facilitator • Wellness Expert
Melissa Horrell has spent 25 years mastering the art of wellness leadership — from aromatherapy to spa director, to spa owner and retreat designer. Using her fluid intelligence, she empowers women in wellness to navigate complexity, lead with heart, and create thriving teams and businesses.
With more than two decades of experience across eight countries, I’ve led teams, built and sold a million-dollar spa business, trained managers, facilitated community work, and guided women through life’s hardest seasons.
My philosophy is simple:
You can lead powerfully without losing your softness.
You can succeed without burning out.
You can rise while staying rooted.
Everything I teach is grounded in lived experience—from navigating loss, resilience, and reinvention, to rebuilding life with intention and courage.

Benefits & Outcomes
Why invest in a 1:1 retreat on Vancouver Island?
Online courses can teach information, but transformation requires immersion, presence, and personalized attention — and that’s what this retreat delivers. When you step away from your everyday environment and into a private sanctuary held just for you, something shifts. You’re not multitasking or squeezing learning between responsibilities; you’re fully supported, fully guided, and fully able to receive what you need.
This retreat is an investment because it gives you:
1. Accelerated Breakthroughs (Months of growth in a few days)
With 1:1 attention, personalized practices, and uninterrupted time together, you move through blocks, patterns, and blind spots far more quickly than in any online format.
2. Tailored-to-You Leadership Growth
Your sessions, teachings, exercises, and strategies are custom-built around your spa, your leadership style, and your goals. No generic modules — everything is precise and relevant.
3. A Nervous System Reset
Deep healing and deep leadership require a regulated, rested, grounded body. The island, the ocean, and the pace of the retreat restore your nervous system so you can think clearly, lead confidently, and return home renewed.
4. Undivided Guidance From a 20-Year Wellness Leader
You’re not one of many faces in a Zoom room — you have my full presence, insight, and mentorship. Every conversation uncovers what you truly need to lead well and live well.
5. Space to Hear Your Own Wisdom Again
Stepping away from your routine opens up clarity that is impossible to access through a screen. In-person retreat time creates mental spaciousness, emotional release, and a reconnection to your deeper purpose.
6. Integration Support That Actually Sticks
You’ll leave not just with inspiration, but with clear, actionable strategies and a grounded plan to apply your healing and leadership insights back home.
This is more than a retreat — it’s a reset for your mind, your leadership, your energy, and your long-term wellness.
Whether you're stepping into leadership, rebuilding after a transition, or seeking clarity in your next chapter, you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s work together to help you grow into the strongest, clearest, most grounded version of yourself.

Where Leadership Meets Wellness — And Women Rise
There comes a moment in every woman’s life when the old way of doing things simply doesn’t fit anymore. You feel the call for more clarity, more grounding, more alignment — and a new style of leadership that feels deeply human.
That moment is where Spa Sisterhood begins.
Blending leadership psychology, counselling tools, somatic practices, and the restorative wisdom of Vancouver Island, my work supports women who want to evolve in every dimension:
professionally, emotionally, and spiritually.
This is leadership without the burnout.
Growth without the pressure.
Clarity without the chaos.
Whether you join a retreat, book a coaching series, or step into a tailored workshop experience, you’ll find a space that feels equal parts grounded, inspiring, and transformative.
Your next chapter doesn’t need to be overwhelming.
It needs to be intentional.
Welcome to the place where you rise — gently, powerfully, and on your own terms.

The Heart Behind the Retreats
Guided by Compassion, Rooted in Transformation.
As both a certified counsellor and a leadership and wellness coach, Melissa Horrell brings a unique, heart-centered approach to every retreat she leads. Her work is rooted in deep listening, emotional & fluid intelligence, and the belief that healing and growth happen when we feel truly seen and supported.
During your retreat, she guides you through gentle yet powerful processes to help release old stories, gain clarity, and reconnect with your purpose. Whether through one-on-one conversations, guided reflection, or group sharing circles, her role is to create a safe, nurturing space where transformation feels natural, empowering, and deeply personal.
