Join 2,000+ couples who've experienced complete nervous system reset through our evidence-based 3R approach over 13+ years.
You can’t work on your relationship when you’re both running on empty.
Our 3-night restoration isn’t couples therapy. It’s systematic individual restoration that creates natural reconnection—the same transformation 4,000+ couples have experienced over 13 years.
You restore first. Connection follows naturally. That’s the ME-WE approach.
Research shows it takes 72 hours for your nervous system to fully shift from sympathetic (stress response) to parasympathetic (rest and restore) dominance. Our mountain-top location, combined with evidence-based thermal therapies, creates the perfect conditions for this essential reset.
You’ll arrive carrying the weight of daily life. You’ll leave with renewed energy, deeper connection, and the tools to maintain this transformation.
