FEEL BETTER NOW — Together: A Couples Wellness Retreat

After a decade of leading transformative co-ed wellness retreats, I’m thrilled to introduce my first-ever couples-only retreat, at the breathtaking Château Okanagan, just 15 minutes north of Kelowna.

This is a luxurious, neuroscience-based immersion designed to help you and your partner slow down, regulate your nervous systems, and reconnect with what matters most.

Offering the space, safety, and simplicity required for real, lasting change, this retreat is designed for couples who love each other deeply — and know it’s time to pause, reset, and reconnect.

Château Okanagan is a private waterfront villa & spa inspired by French elegance,

perched on the breathtaking bluffs of Kelowna’s Okanagan Lake, offering an unparalleled escape in the heart of Canada’s premier wine country.

Choose from one of 8 lavish suites,

offering breathtaking vistas of the serene lake, majestic mountains, and the ever-changing sky, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Experience total privacy on 44 beautifully kept acres,

draped across a kilometre of exclusive shoreline, with five craggy beaches and numerous pathways awaiting your footsteps.

Indulge in an oasis of wellness at the European-inspired spa,

designed for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. Enjoy hydrotherapy-focused amenities, including a steam room, sauna, hot tub, and outdoor pools — all with stunning views of Okanagan Lake.

Explore your adventurous side.

Get out on the water with one of the estate’s kayaks, try your hand at a game of tennis on the professional-grade court (or take some solitude with the auto-ball dispenser), or take a walk on the private hiking trails that connect to a vast network of public trails at McKinley Mountain Park.

Give yourself permission to slow down and unwind.

Curl up with a book in the cozy loft library, take in the spectacular views of Okanagan Lake from your chair on the private dock, or relax in your elegant estate room with the doors to your terrace open wide.

Move your body.

Increase your strength, stamina, and flexibility as you’re guided through a variety of indoor and outdoor movement sessions, led by Catherine – a certified personal trainer, fitness instructor, and older adult specialist.

Nourish your body.

Indulge in farm-to-table feasts created in collaboration with Catherine and prepared by estate chef Joshua Mueller.

Rest your body.

Take your time, revive your energy, and reinvigorate your joy for simple pleasures.

Connect with other bodies.

Restore your relationship with nature by connecting with the bodies of water and land that surround this special place — the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx peoples.

Try a digital detox (your nervous system thanks you).

You are bombarded with more information every single day than the human brain once absorbed in a lifetime. This is the perfect opportunity to see how it feels to truly disconnect from the external world and deeply connect with your internal world. Don’t worry, we won’t confiscate your devices White-Lotus-style! We’ve set aside this beautiful space for you to use if you decide to pop back online.

Try a ceremonial cold plunge at our private beach.

A sunrise submersion in the lake (optional) on our last day together can be a significant mark of the commitment you’ve made to your wellbeing! And the hot tub, sauna, and steam room await you if you need a little warming up afterwards.


Why a Couples Retreat?

When stress is high and time is scarce, even the strongest relationships can drift into survival mode. 

This retreat helps you reset by providing you with space.

Space to slow down. Space to regulate your nervous systems. Space to remember who you are — individually and together.

When couples step out of daily life and into a calm, supportive environment, something powerful happens:

  • Communication softens

  • Presence deepens

  • Patterns loosen

  • Intimacy is renewed

  • A shared vision re-appears 

Using the FEEL BETTER NOW framework — rooted in mindfulness, self-directed neuroplasticity, and simple daily rituals — you’ll learn how to feel better individually and relationally, in ways that are sustainable long after the retreat ends.

This is not therapy. There’s no pressure to overshare. 

It’s a guided, supportive experience focused on creating the conditions for wellbeing, intimacy, and joy to naturally re-emerge.

What Makes This Retreat Different

  • Neuroscience-based wellbeing, brought to life through movement, reflection, rest, and connection

  • A non-judgmental, deeply safe container — no forced sharing, no performative vulnerability

  • Practical tools focused on self-directed neuroplasticity to rewire habits and patterns that shape your wellbeing and relationship

  • A luxurious, unhurried pace that supports integration, pleasure, and true rest

  • Time together and space apart — because healthy connection needs both

You’ll leave feeling:

  • More regulated

  • More grounded

  • More connected

  • More clear

  • More alive

  • And well-equipped to sustain this work back at home 

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for couples who:

  • Are successful and “doing well” — but feel stretched too thin

  • Want to strengthen their relationship before resentment or burnout takes hold 

  • Value personal growth, emotional intelligence, and embodied wellbeing

  • Crave depth without heaviness, science without rigidity, and luxury without pretence

  • Want tools that work in real life, not just on retreat

You don’t need to be in crisis.

You just need to be ready for something richer.

What sets These Events apart?

One of the things that gets me up every morning is my fascination with our disconnect.

Every single one of us struggles with some form of disconnect.

We want things, and we know what we need to do to achieve those things… yet we don’t take action consistently to see the results we want to see.

Why is that? Fascinating, right?!

The Life Delicious curriculum is designed to combat this exact problem – to systematically build a bridge that overcomes your disconnect.

The curriculum facilitates the hardwiring of specific habits, so you can struggle less and achieve more.


What's the ROI on these transformative events?

Are you trying to figure out how to achieve the dazzling success you desire while balancing family, work and life?

Would you love to just be handed a simple plan that could cure your overwhelm and allow you to live with energy and ease?

Enter the wellness retreat: an education for your mind, an invigoration for your body, and a transformation for your spirit!

The Life Delicious specializes in helping leaders develop the energy and discipline to operate at full capacity.
