Jenny, founder of Yanssima Retreats

Meet the Founder

You're not here to fix yourself. You're here to remember who you already are.

Thirty years in beauty and wellness taught me that self-care alone was never quite enough.

Hi, I'm Jenny — founder of Yanssima.

With over 30 years in the beauty and wellness industry, I've worked with thousands of people on their journey to feeling good in their bodies and confident in their skin. Somewhere along the way, I noticed something deeper was missing — not just for the people I worked with, but for me, too.

People weren't just looking for another service. They were craving space — room to feel, to rest, to think without an agenda, and to remember what they already knew about themselves.

That's why I created Yanssima. Whether you join a live workshop from your couch or come sit with us in person in Montana or Mexico, this is your invitation to show up exactly as you are.

How It Works

Three phases. Your own pace.

Rest

Step out of the noise and into a rhythm that gives your body and mind room to breathe.

Recalibrate

Real tools — coaching, journaling, mindfulness and movement — not just good intentions.

Realign

Leave with steadier footing, practical tools, and a clear sense of what's next.

Our Mission

A life built on purpose, not pressure.

Every retreat and workshop is built around the same goal: help you let go of what's not working, and get intentional about what's next.

Our Story

Built from decades of watching people run on empty.

Yanssima started with one idea: give people real room to slow down, think clearly, and hear themselves again — not just around others, but on their own.

After decades in the beauty and wellness industry, it became clear that self-care alone wasn't cutting it. People needed real space, not another service.

Our Values

What we actually stand for.

1

Whole-Person Care

Mind, body and spirit — we don't treat them separately, and neither should you.

2

Authenticity

Your pace, your process — we're not handing out a script.

3

Presence

Healing isn't a race. We build in room to actually feel things.

4

Accessibility

Online and in-person, so your schedule and budget don't decide whether you get to start.

5

Staying Power

We care about what happens after the retreat ends, not just during it.

Your Invitation

Come as you are. See what shifts.

Whether that's a $44 workshop or a four-day retreat in Cabo or Montana, there's a place to start that fits exactly where you are right now.
