Running a retreat and leading one are two different jobs.
When you're planning and managing the experience yourself, the logistics never stop. The venue, the schedule, the transfers, the meals, the marketing — every detail lands on you.
WHY THE RETREAT ATELIERYOU DESERVE A CREATIVE PARTNER
The Retreat Atelier brings taste, expertise, and curated connections to every retreat we design.
Unmistakably Yours
Every retreat we design begins with your vision and ends with an experience that could only ever belong to you. Your brand, your clients, your style — reflected in every detail.
Curated Experiences
We bring years of firsthand knowledge and curated connections in Paris, Biarritz, Milan, London, Bangkok, and beyond. We don't work from a vendor list — we work from relationships, so every detail of your retreat feels intentional and extraordinary.
Profit-First Model
Your retreat should provide an additional revenue stream. We build profitability into the process from day one — and because we work on commission, we only succeed when you do.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING:“Intentional, personal, and alive in every detail”
"Hannah made possible something I would not have been able to create alone: an experience that felt intentional, personal, and alive in every detail. She helped transform ideas into a lived environment where people could connect, learn, move, rest, and grow together. What impressed me most was not only her organization and professionalism, but her ability to hold the spirit of the experience while managing countless moving parts behind the scenes. She consistently exceeded my expectations with her care, responsiveness, and follow-through. I felt deeply supported throughout the entire process."

ABOUT USMeet Hannah Rae, Your Retreat Architect
I know how much focus and energy it takes to lead a retreat because I've been in the wellness industry for over 10 years myself. My career has taken me across Europe and beyond — teaching, performing, and building the kind of firsthand knowledge and relationships that only come from actually being there.
Based in France, I started The Retreat Atelier because I believe you deserve a creative partner who can take your vision and translate it into something extraordinary, without you having to carry the weight of making it happen.
Hannah Rae - Pilates and Yoga instructor, retreat designer, world traveler - based in France.

QUESTIONS WE HEAR THE MOSTFAQ
-
Profitability is built into the process from the start. We work through pricing and numbers together on our first call — and because we work on commission, it's in our interest to make sure your retreat is financially worthwhile for you.
-
That's exactly what we’re there for. Our global network means we work with contacts we trust, and our on-site support option means you're never handling unexpected changes alone. You focus on your clients — we handle whatever comes up.
-
Everything starts with your vision. Unlike a retreat center that designs around what they offer, we design around what you want. Your brand, your audience, your intentions — every detail reflects you.
-
Our job is to handle the heavy lifting so yours is as light as possible. Beyond our initial conversations and a few key decisions along the way — like approving the itinerary and confirming bookings — most of the work happens on our side. You stay informed and involved without being overwhelmed.
-
Absolutely. Everything starts with your vision and nothing gets decided without your input. We handle the logistics and bring ideas to the table, but every key decision — the destination, the schedule, the feel of the experience — reflects you and your brand. Think of us as the people who make your vision happen, not the people who replace it.
-
That's not part of what we do — and it's worth being clear about this upfront. We don't market your retreat to a new audience or find clients on your behalf. The audience comes from you. What we can do is support you with marketing strategy and guidance so you can promote your retreat to the people you already have with confidence.
-
We work with a carefully curated network of boutique hotels, luxury villas, and retreat venues around the world, including Paris, Biarritz, London, Milan, Bangkok, and beyond. Every retreat is different, so we'll carefully match you with the destination and venue that best fit your vision, audience, and goals.
-
We specialize in wellness retreats, but we also support a wide range of experiences, including women's retreats, writers' retreats, corporate retreats, leadership retreats, creative retreats, and conferences.
-
We begin with a discovery call to learn about your vision, audience, and goals. From there, we handle every aspect of planning—from venue sourcing and budgeting to profitability strategy, logistics, and marketing support. You'll be involved in every key decision while we take care of the details, so you can focus on creating an exceptional experience for your guests.
-
For most retreats, we recommend allowing 9–18 months for planning, with around 12 months being ideal. More lead time gives you the best choice of venues, more time to market your retreat, and a smoother planning process, so we encourage you to reach out as early as possible.
-
The specifics are tailored to each retreat and discussed openly on our first call. We work on a commission basis — which means no large upfront fees and no conflict of interest. Our compensation is tied directly to the success of your retreat, so our goals are completely aligned from day one.
-
That's entirely up to you. Hannah can join as a co-presenter if that's something you'd like — but it's not required. Her default role is behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on leading your clients.
