RELAX AND RECHARGE IN THIS STUNNING LOCATION
Blended naturally into a landscape of vivid red rock cliffs and canyons of southern Utah, Red Mountain Resort is consistently voted one of the top hotels in the country, with exquisite features in an ideal location. It allows for convenient planning of a customized adventure to Zion or Bryce Canyon National Parks, while Snow Canyon State Park is only about a quarter of a mile down the road. You can enjoy an exhilarating rock climb or savor a solitary walk on the resort's private trails.
Red Mountain Resort offers a diverse group of health, fitness, nutrition, cooking, stress management, anti-aging, and wellness classes and programs designed for life-enhancing changes that last much longer than your stay. Not to mention one of the top spas in the U.S.
It's the perfect spot to get away - or, if you want to bring your spouse, they'll have plenty of activities to choose from while you're deep in retreat sessions!
Want To Get Away?
From The Noise Of Social Media, Zoom Calls . . . And Yes, EVEN Your Family?
It's Time You Did Something for YOU
You need some space to think, to dream, to plan, and to explore what really matters most to you—personally, uniquely you—in this crazy busy stepfamily life.
❖
Imagine a chance to slip away...
To a place where you can release the constant pressure you're under to be everything to everyone. Where you can take care of YOU - for once.
Where the conversation is authentic and meaningful, rest is prioritized, food is deliciously prepared and served by somebody else (no dishes!), and long walks, leisurely meals, and opportunities to breathe and reflect are interspersed with sessions for learning and self-improvement.

Welcome to The Stepmom Retreat: A Rejuvenating And Private Getaway
Link arms with an intimate group of stepmoms (right now we're saving space for only 10 women) and two experienced stepfamily coaches for two days of inspiring workshops, heart-to-heart talks, and plenty of time and space to rest or play on your own schedule.
❖
The Stepmom Retreat is a chance to get real about challenges, support one another, and refine your focus on what actually moves the needle in your stepmom life (and what does not).
" Beth and Cameron completely validated my feelings, made me realize I’m not alone, that I do have support, and that there are other people out there WHO GET IT. They completely changed my perspective on who/what a stepmom is and have given me the validation that it’s okay to step back and let my husband lead with raising his daughter."
— Jennifer H., Stepmom

This was my first time having any stepmom support system. I felt hopeless and filled with anxiety about my husband's ex - and at times my stepdaughter. Then I started hearing things like, "Not your responsibility," "Set boundaries," "You are not the mom and do not have to take on that role,"your happiness comes first," and I could go on and on! I needed to hear those things to start to understand what my role is as a stepmom. And to give myself permission to step back without feeling guilty.
I can now say I feel FREE! I have lots of work to do, but I now have the mental headspace to do what I need for ME! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work behind the scenes to make this available to stepmoms. I can't wait to be a part of future events!

Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions, we've got answers!
WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING?
The Stepmom Retreat is taking place Thursday, November 9th through Saturday, November 12, 2023 at the gorgeous Red Mountain Resort in St. George, Utah.
Check-in is at 4 PM local time (contact the resort if interested in earlier), though you can utilize the resort amenities as early as 12:30 on your day of arrival. The first retreat activity, our Casual Kickoff Cocktail Party, begins at 7 PM Thursday evening.
Friday, we'll start by setting our intentions for our time together and move into our sessions for the day. We'll eat lunch together and after our afternoon session, we'll end the day with a meditation before dinner on your own. After dinner, we'll regroup for a fire ceremony under the desert sky to release regrets, fears, and negative beliefs, and embrace heartfelt dreams and desires.
Saturday, you are invited to join us for a 7:30 AM hike into Snow Canyon (no experience necessary) prior to our morning coaching. Lunch will be at the restaurant and followed by our afternoon coaching and some time on your own for reflection. Once afternoon coaching has concluded, we'll have a group dinner to say goodbye.
Please note that hotel check-out is 11 AM. You may utilize the spa until closing and the hotel will hold your bags until departure. Or, feel free to extend your trip and stay through Sunday - or longer!
HOW DO I BOOK MY ROOM?
We have a room block with the resort. Once you register, we'll send instructions on how to book your room. We suggest booking it as soon as possible.
IS MY ROOM INCLUDED IN THE COST?
No, rooms should be booked separately. The rates are super reasonable: $375+tax for single occupancy and $650+tax for double. AND rates include 3 meals per day in the Canyon Breeze Restaurant during regular hours, morning group guided hiking (not private), fitness classes, access to resort amenities, including seasonal pools, bicycles, a walking trail, a meditation labyrinth, and fitness center. Wi-Fi, parking, and airport shuttle during scheduled hours are also included.
HOW DO I GET THERE?
The Red Mountain Resort is an easy 30-minute drive from the St. George airport. Delta, United, and American offer routes to St. George. You can rent a car or the resort offers a 30-minute shuttle from the St. George Airport at pre-scheduled times. Guests must request transportation pre-arrival, and may arrange for return to the airport while they are at the resort.
The resort is a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas. You can rent a car or hire a shuttle service, and the resort has recommended services HERE.
WILL I NEED A ROOMMATE?
That's up to you!
Single or double rooms should be booked directly through the hotel.
Once you register, you'll be invited to join a group portal for attendees where you can connect in advance and look for a roommate if you'd like to share a room at the retreat.
SOUNDS GREAT - BUT I'M STILL ON THE FENCE . . .
If you're feeling isolated in your stepmom journey and haven't had a trip to yourself - ever - you will not regret saying yes to this!
The best way to have your family take more responsibility is to step away. You'll be taking this time to recharge and come back home happier and more energetic.
CAN I BRING MY FAMILY?
The short answer? Yes, but we don't necessarily recommend it . . .
Regarding kids: Red Mountain resort is a wellness experience, so the guests there come for quiet relaxation and renewal. There are areas of the sort, like the Meditation Grotto and Labyrinth, that are specifically for quiet reflection.
There are outdoor and fitness activities for those ages 16 and above, but a parent/guardian must accompany kids aged 16/17 on any private appointments (spa and wellness) and outdoor recreation activities.*
For more information on resort policies, you can head HERE.
If you choose to bring your spouse, there are lots of activities they can partake in while you're with us. But we do ask that only you attend all retreat sessions (sorry!).
*Confirm details of resort amenities with the resort prior to booking.
HOW MANY SPOTS ARE AVAILABLE?
It is important to us to keep this event intimate so that everyone attending can get the best coaching experience possible. That is why we will be limiting the number of spots for this event.

Also included is a mindful hike, meditation, and an exclusive Stepmom Retreat swag bag.
You will be responsible for your transportation to and from the resort, and any incidentals while you're there (including any alcoholic beverages at meals).
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
Due to the limited availability of this event, Stepmom Retreat tickets are not refundable once paid.
