Welcome to our all-inclusive retreat designed especially for YOU
The woman who is seeking to forge a deeper, more loving connection with her inner goddess. Our soul-stirring experience is designed to empower and uplift you as you shed old limiting beliefs and embrace a more authentic version of yourself. You'll be surrounded by like-minded women who are also on their self-love journey, and we invite you to show up and dare to be emotionally and physically BARE as you explore and connect with your deeper self. At EmpowHERedSoul Retreats, our focus is solely on YOU, and we're honored to be a part of your journey toward greater self-love and empowerment.
Southern Utah Here We Come
May 2nd - 6th 2024
The Red Rocks in Southern Utah are very special to us as we are natives to the area. Come and experience Southern Utah with us, and build life long connections with your new tribe.
We have dreamed of bringing together our three passions: Empowering women, travel/adventure, and photography. Our mission for these retreats is to create a safe place for women to heal, support, empowHER, & work on our body image & insecurities. Picture a trip adventuring with like-minded women who are all committed to making this a safe space for you—a space where you can exist exactly as you are, feeling safe in the skin you are in.
During this retreat, we will be holding space for each other to heal, shedding shame about our bodies, empowering & lifting each other up, all while having your whole life-changing journey documented with stunning group & solo photoshoots to remember your experience forever. We are going to dive into our inner voice surrounding our body image—what it means to be confident & how to bring that into our everyday lives. Together, we will dance & move our bodies, feeling the freedom of being more comfortable in our skin. We will play & be free. We will create a sisterhood & ground ourselves in nature.

Hi, I'm Shanna
I started my photography journey in 2007 and after my divorce in 2011, when I was so defeated and lost in the world as single momma, by some guiding hand I'm sure, a boudoir shoot opportunity popped up and I TOOK it! The high that came from that one session with an expectant momma CHANGED me! Boudoir photography has given me something no time on my yoga mat or routine at the gym could give me. I was still shooting all the things like families, weddings etc but NOTHING ever came close to the high of doing boudoir sessions. Boudoir has become more than a hobby. I jumped in FULL time! It's a genuine passion. A lifestyle. A creative outlet I so desperately craved.
I can say with every fiber of my being that a boudoir session will change YOU! You will not regret it. You will not just get a great set of photos but you will find confidence and parts of you lost over time as we age and our bodies change. Reigniting that fire within!
In search of a way to expand this community I decided to host retreats and have been blessed with my friendship with LeeeAnn who excitedly teamed up to bring this to life. I've found my community, new friendships, and joy beyond measure. And so will you choosing to come along with us!
You want one good reason to join in? You. YOU are a damn good reason.
Cause babe, you fucking earned it.

The Location
OUR HEALER
Healer Kelsey
Kelsey specializes as a trauma informed somatic sexologist and is the womb and yoni alchemist. She believes everyone should live a magically orgasmic life both in and out of the bedroom. Kelsey's journey to magic and pleasure started when she opened her dog training, and doggie daycare facility. It was through owning Adventure Paws that Kelsey learned to embrace change and challenges, push the boundaries of possibilities, and to never give up on her dreams no matter how big they seemed! This led her on a new adventure and with the intention of upgrading her business, Kelsey opened herself up to a world where magic exists. This journey introduced her to several different types of magic including, energy work, sex magick, tantra, and erotic pleasure alchemy. After pushing the limits of her comfort zone and delving deeper into her own capacity for pleasure she decided to gain training into multiple modalities and create her second business, Wild Rebels, where she does the majority of her work in somatic sex coaching.
Private Offerings:
- Shame Release Circle

LOVE NOTES
Experience the power of women coming together. Here are love notes from our last EmpowHERment Retreat.
"This was a fantastic weekend of EmpowHERment! LeeAnn and Shanna created such an amazing experience where we all felt safe while we allowed our vulnerable-selves to be seen, focused on self-love, & learned how to heal in ways that each of us needed."
"I absolutely loved participating. This retreat was such a boost to my confidence. It was also an amazing way to meet women who are like minded and looking to create positive friendships. I cannot wait to go to the next one."
"It was eye opening and although there were some things I wouldn't normally do, I was able to experience them and find out if I wanted to do them again or not. It was an amazing experience to experiment in a safe setting and I was able to be myself without being judged and got some amazing advice about stuff happening in my life."
"I see that I'm more confident with my body...I'm going to wear my bikini at a hotel pool in Vegas! Like, showing my belly & no swim shorts over my bikini bottoms! That's HUGE."
"This has changed the way I see myself. I feel more comfortable and confident in my body."
"I would say this experience made me more comfortable with who I am and my body. It was fun to see myself in a different way and interact with other women and see them grow."
