RETREATS & EVENTS

My name is Riley Murtha. For those who aren't familiar with me or my story - here's the Cole's Notes version. I spent most of my 20s working in bars and restaurants and dedicated most of my spare time to my favorite hobby - partying. I have always been passionate about wellness - I grew up a competitive dancer, have always been active and became (very literally) obsessed with the gym around the age of 19. I struggled with disordered eating as well as a pattern of very heavy binge drinking from my teen years into my mid-late 20s. I partied hard, and I tried to make up for it by being extreme in my approach to fitness, health and wellness. (Spoiler alert: It didn't work). I truly thought I was happy because I was having "fun" - but my life was chaotic and highly self-destructive. 

​

It wasn't until I began doing the inner-work and slowing down, getting curious and exploring the WHY of my habits that the WHAT actually started to shift. I pursued a career as a personal trainer with the intention of helping others approach wellness in a balanced, sustainable way. After a few years, it became very obvious to me that we were approach wellness in an ass-backwards manner. I longed for an opportunity to discuss what I passionately felt was the root of the problem - the mindset, the disconnection from self and the unaddressed emotional experience that was underlying self-sabotage of all forms - and alas, that opportunity came.  During Covid, when gyms shut down, I began offering online self-love courses and was offered an opportunity to host a wellness retreat. The rest is history! Since then, my business has shifted organically to be more and more focused on empowering people with the information and self-understanding they need to make REAL, lasting changes in their life. In January 2021, I decided to leave the fitness industry all together and focus all my attention on self-love, mindset, personal development and real, authentic wellness.
