Hi. I’m Lauren Spranger, founder of these retreats and instigator of your future endeavors.
I’m so glad you’re here!
Professionally, I am a Holistic Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, a certified Personal Trainer, and a Private Retreat Coordinator. Personally, I am an adventure-instigator, a beach lover, a sister, a friend, and most-importantly, a girl who loves to simply relish in the breath-taking beauty of God’s creation.
The more I work with women in both the Personal Training and Nutrition arenas, the more I realize there is so much more to a well-cared for self than food and exercise. Those things are simply scratching the surface - they don’t come anywhere close to the deep-rooted desires of a woman’s heart. And quite honestly, without addressing the deeper longings, changing the scale weight is like fighting an uphill battle. As woman, we need to go deeper, and we need a space to do that.
In 2018 I chose to move back to my hometown of Marquette Michigan because I had fallen in love with the it, just as my parents had many years earlier. Nestled on the northern coastline, Marquette has provided me the most perfect space to live out the life I desire. One full of sunrises, sailboats, seagulls, long stretches of beautiful coastline, tall pine trees, powdery snow, miles and miles of hiking trails, and friends to share it all with. It feels almost romantic.
These retreats were born out of my desire to share this place with women who feel they could use for life to romance them a bit. As I build the itinerary, I am thinking about the things that usher contentment and a sense of well-being into a woman’s heart..
Our desire to feel seen,
Our desire for epic adventure,
Our desire to know that we carry beauty.
We want to know we are captivating and capable.
On mission to empower women by filling their cup until it overflows (no, I’m not speaking of just champagne:), our time together will be filled with adventure, a variety of wellness practices, and time to simply slow down. As you explore, my hope is that the activities, laughter, and conversations that take place throughout your trip make you come alive. …and the best part is, you can bring that overflowing cup home with you. It will be the beginning of building new life-giving habits and rebuilding old mindsets.
Get ready to dance in the rain sister.
