Our Mission
Our mission at Head to Body Retreat is to unite Black women who are committed to shedding old habits and navigating from the shadows of their trauma toward the illuminating path of self-exploration. This holistic retreat is designed for Black women seeking sisterhood, self-discovery, and the healing power of somatic practices to access their inherent capabilities fully. We curate unique, tranquil, and rejuvenating experiences to guarantee an enjoyable and impactful journey for every participant.

Experience the transformative Liberation In Paradise Belize Retreat, designed specifically for Black Women, taking place in the beautiful month of October 2025. This 7-day, 6-night retreat offers an enriching and rejuvenating experience that promises personal growth and connection. Enjoy a harmonious blend of relaxation, self-discovery, and empowerment in an inspiring setting.
Meet Ashley, Founder & Retreat Hostess
Greetings and welcome! I am Ashley Rhys, a Belizean American, who was raised in the beautiful country of Belize, Central America. I am a dedicated Retreat Facilitator, Reiki I and II Energy Healer, Meditation and Sound Healing Facilitator, and Founder of Head to Body Retreat, LLC. I am a proud member of the African American/Black and Afro-Caribbean community. I have a deep passion for also guiding Black Women on their transformative journeys, while bringing a unique perspective and cultural sensitivity to the realm of holistic well-being/wellness. I enjoy nature, the beach, dancing, hiking, and being in environments, where I can completely be FREE. My hope is that each person that attends our retreats will just feel just as comfortable as I do.
As a License Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified EMDR/Trauma Therapist , I leverage my 11 years of experience to create enriching and inclusive retreat experiences for black women to learn how to heal and empower themselves one day at a time. My approach is rooted in the rich tapestry of African and diasporic traditions, weaving together ancestral wisdom with modern methodologies to provide a holistic and empowering experience.
