The Retreat Experience

this holiday season treat yourself (or gift a loved one) a one-of-a-kind private retreat

Craving a getaway? Dreaming of a staycation? Prefer to spend your money on experiences rather than material things? Want a unique, personalized, soul-nourishing experience to share with a friend or loved one?

If you want the magic of a retreat without international flights or jet lag, my Charleston Private Retreat is for you.

This one-of-a-kind experience is fully customized to your goals, preferences, and desired vibe. We’ll begin with a Discovery Call so I can design a personalized itinerary based on your goals, desires, and what your body + soul are craving right now.

Expect a nourishing blend of daily movement (walking, yoga, dance or strength training), healing bodywork and massage, delicious meals at award winning restaurants, exploring Charleston’s rich beauty and history, and plenty of time for rest and relaxation.

For the entire weekend, I’ll be your host, hype woman, teacher, coach, tour guide, personal driver, and new BFF - creating a retreat experience that feels luxurious, nourishing, and unforgettable.

Although this retreat was originally created as a 1:1 experience, you now have the option to bring a +1 (BFF, sister, mom, partner, etc.). It not only makes the investment lighter, but creates a meaningful memory-making experience you’ll cherish forever.

Why attend a retreat?

Retreats give you the rare opportunity to pause the noise of daily life and redirect your energy inward. They create space to slow down, breathe, reflect, and receive. It’s amazing how much inner peace, creativity, and clarity arise when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to relax.

If you’re struggling with sleep, digestion, anxiety, headaches, or stubborn weight, these are signs your body is asking for a break. When you’re constantly in “fight or flight,” your system can’t rest, digest, or heal. A retreat helps you shift into a state of receiving & tap into a parasympathetic state - the place where true restoration happens.

Retreats are nourishment for every part of you - mind, body, and soul. And unlike a typical vacation where you come home bloated, tired, hungover, and needing a vacation after your vacation to recover… this experience will leave you feeling energized, clearer, and more aligned.

You’ll return home refreshed, inspired, and empowered with tools & practices you can weave into your daily life.

About Me

Hi, I’m Cortney! I’ve called Charleston home for the past 18 years, and every day I feel grateful to wake up in this beautiful, vibrant city. It’s been the backdrop for my healing work, my creativity, my retreats, and the community I love so much.

I’ve been a massage therapist for 18 years, specializing in therapeutic, intuitive bodywork. I’ve worked with world-renowned professional tennis and soccer players and have a unique gift for blending yoga, stretching, massage, and energy awareness to help clients feel incredible in their bodies.

I’ve also been a yoga teacher for 16 years with over 1,000 hours of training in Ashtanga, Power Yoga, Laughing Lotus, and Jivamukti. My teaching style is a soulful blend of intelligent sequencing, hands-on assists, high-vibe playlists, and spiritual wisdom that inspires transformation on and off the mat.

For over a decade, I’ve hosted yoga and wellness retreats around the world - Costa Rica, Mexico, Southern France, Iceland - as well as beloved local retreats in Charleston, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, and Lake Keowee. Creating unforgettable, heart-centered retreat experiences is one of my greatest joys.

Three years ago, I purchased my downtown Charleston home and built a private Airbnb suite on my property. That space quickly became a “Guest Favorite” on Airbnb (top 10% of all listings) and turned into an extension of the welcoming, nourishing energy I love to create.

My passion for personal growth led me to coaching women for over 10 years through my signature programs: Craft Your Path: A Journey of Self-Discovery and The 30 Day Glōw Up - a transformational experience for women ready to elevate their health, mindset, and lifestyle from the inside out. My coaching touches everything from relationships and self-worth to wellness, business, and aligned living.

I’ve also mentored yoga teachers for more than a decade, supporting them in finding their voice, building confidence, refining their sequencing, hands-on assists, branding, social media presence, and creating successful workshops and retreats. Helping teachers create fulfilling, heart-centered careers lights me up.

I’m endlessly passionate about astrology and human design and have completed Level 1 Astrology training and Levels 1 & 2 Human Design. I believe the stars offer a beautiful roadmap to understanding our gifts, patterns, and purpose. I offer readings, workshops, and deep dives for those wanting to explore these systems.

You may also know me as the host of The Unique Way, my podcast where I explore wellness, personal development, spirituality, relationships, creativity, and the messy, beautiful journey of becoming.

I’m so excited to combine my eclectic work & life experience to create an epic retreat experience for you! This private retreat feels like the most amazing & aligned offer for me because it literally combines EVERYTHING that I do & love, all wrapped up in one amazing package.

I can’t wait to share it with you!

Reviews

“This beyond exceeded my expectations! It was 10/10 & I’m already thinking about convincing my friends to do it :) I learned so much & I’m feeling refreshed, rejuvenated & reinvigorated. Finically it was so easy to justify - it was so worth it!”

“It is hard to find the words to explain my experience at Cortney‘s Yoga Retreat. It was truly the best weekend of my life”

- Justine Mejak

Mom, Artist & Extraordinary Human

“Cortney is a master of all she does. Having the privilege of witnessing her in her zone of genius, sharing what she loves with the world & being in her potent presence is such a gift & is sure to transform & alchemize any part of you or your life that feels challenging, stuck or unclear.”

—Emily Cassel

Business Strategist & Leadership Coach

“…Cortney taught the most thoughtful yoga class I’ve taken outside of Santa Monica Yoga Works and Yoga Glo in years…The most challenging classes I’ve ever taken hold postures (often the “basic” ones) and encourage you to dive deep — the challenge lies in being present in the quiet discomfort, and not flying past it in a whirl of push-ups. The class I took yesterday had a beautiful forearm (take a break from your wrists) and upper back theme. By the time forearm stand was offered (read: taught), my body was hungry for the focused challenge. And on a side note: I was drenched in sweat and sore the next day. Meatsuit tended to: check. But the absolutely best part: once I came out of Savasana I couldn’t move. I had to stay put, be quiet, and absorb. And voila: asana as the gateway to meditation and knowing yourself verses checking off your daily burn. Thank you, Cortney. You made me a happy yogi.”
