The "pause" that you never knew you needed.
Here is the chance to take back control of your life and find the person that you might have been missing.
Live
For 1 week, re-write what it is that you want from life and leave with a plan to start taking action.
Laugh
When is the last time you really laughed OUT LOUD? Laughter is the fountain of youth and (and it's fun)
Love
Learn to love yourself where you are NOW so you can start treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated.
Retreat
Definition: An act or process of withdrawing especially from what is difficult, dangerous or disagreeable.
Women going through menopause, often feel isolated, abandoned and alone and as a result, they often "retreat" from others and the outside world.
This luxury retreat was created for you; the woman who does not feel understood or seen and desires to reconnect to what was once there so they can feel confident and whole again
Release
Release all of the old stories in your head that you are not enough. This is your time to shed all of the things that are no longer serving you and keeping you stuck.
Menopause does NOT have to suck and you can feel better than you ever have when you abandon the idea that you need to "work hard" to achieve happiness and health.
Redefine
Redefine how you are going to show up on your life and exist for the next 20, 30 or 40+ years.
Menopause and midlife is an opportunity to do all of the things that you have always put off in order to care for everyone else.
Learn how changing the way you live, from the inside out, can create massive shifts for years to come.
Renew
Leave this retreat feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the world because you have all the tools you need from here on out..
With new friendships, connections and an understanding of where you are and what you can do, the possibilities are endless!

Your Host - Sam
Samantha (Sam) Montpetit-Huynh has been in the health and fitness industry for over 2 decades, is known as Sam Core Trainer and developed the most comprehensive online health program for women going through menopause and midlife.
She is the co-host of the massively successful High Heels & Hot Flashes event in Toronto, Canada and this retreat is an extension of that incredible night.
After her own transformative experience in 2023, Samantha decided to host her very own retreat in Costa Rica in March 2025 and to say it was a life-changing for the attendees, would be an understatement.
As a result, Sam has decided to host these luxury getaways 1-2 times per year in various locations in South America and the Caribbean.
Samantha has found herself again and now she wants to give women the same opportunity to reconnect with themselves so they can be the person that they want to be!! 🙏🏾❤️
