Why We Chose House of Aïa

​

Some places simply feel different. Upon arrival you're automatically transported to a deeper, calmer, more inspired state of mind.  You some how already feel supported.

​

House of Aïa isn't just where we're hosting a retreat—it's the place that inspired us to create one.

​

For years, I lived the life so many women know well: constantly doing, constantly giving, always thinking about the next thing. Building my business, caring for my family, and striving for excellence left very little room to simply be. Like many women, I wore "busy" as a badge of honor.

​

Everything changed when I experienced House of Aïa.

What I expected to be simply a beautiful getaway became something much deeper. Through the practices, the peaceful surroundings, and the intentional pace of each day, my nervous system finally had permission to exhale. I left feeling calmer, lighter, and more connected to myself than I had in years.

​

That experience became more than a vacation—it became my internal reset.

I noticed less anxiety. Less worry. Less hustle.

I stopped feeling like I always had to push.

 

I began trusting my intuition more.

 

I learned that slowing down wasn't falling behind—it was exactly what I needed to move forward with more clarity, confidence, and joy.

​

Around that same time, I had been attending Farida's Sunday Reset classes. Her gift for helping women reconnect with themselves through yoga, meditation, and sound healing perfectly complimented everything I had experienced at House of Aia. 

 

One Sunday, during one of those beautiful gatherings, something clicked. We looked at each other and felt the same pull. "What if we created something beautiful together?"​

That moment became the beginning of the Glowing Goddess Retreat.

​

While Farida helps women reconnect internally through her years of teaching yoga, meditation, sound baths, and healing practices, I help women transform externally through intentional skincare, facial therapies, and confidence-building rituals.

Together, we believe true beauty begins from the inside out.​

​

That's why this retreat isn't just about skincare. It's not just about yoga and sound baths. It's not just about relaxation.

It's about creating space for your nervous system to reset, your confidence to return, your intuition to become louder than your stress, and your glow—both inside and out—to naturally follow.

​

We truly believe House of Aïa is the perfect place for transformation - a place where you'll feel supported, restored and inspired. 

​

Our greatest hope is that you'll return home with far more than beautiful memories. We hope you leave with practical tools to navigate stress, meaningful friendships, renewed confidence, healthier skin, and a deeper connection to the woman you've always been beneath the busyness of everyday life.

​

We hope you'll join us for 5 unforgettable days of rest, renewal, and real connections. As one of our first guest of The Glowing Goddess Retreats, you'll become part of the "Founder's Circle". - A community we'll always cherish as the women who helped bring this vision to life. 

 

We would be honored to welcome you.

XOX, Sherry & Farida
