Angela and her team created a calm and inviting atmosphere during a 3-day conference in Savannah. The chair massages were a huge hit with our conference attendees. The therapists were professional, attentive, and helped guests recharge during a busy event! Angela is courteous, kind and an expert in her field.

Angela was amazing from the very start. She answered all my questions beforehand and greeted me so warmly when I arrived. She really took the time to get to know everyone and created a space where it felt safe and comfortable to just be ourselves. The retreat house was beautiful and super cozy, with so many thoughtful touches like toiletries, Goddess cards, and creative supplies. It was also just a short walk to a gorgeous beach, which made yoga extra special and was wonderful to enjoy during free time. One of the best parts was that we did not have to think about planning or logistics at all. Everything was taken care of. And the food Rubi made was some of the best I have ever had. Every meal was both delicious and nourishing- another expression of her creativity. Plus, she was such a warm addition to the home. I loved the workshops and meeting the different facilitators. The sound bath was definitely a highlight for me (my first one) and having it up on the roof made it even more magical. The mix of art, sound, writing, energy, and a little mysticism really helped everyone open up and connect. This weekend was exactly what I needed. It was restful, inspiring, and heart-opening. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a retreat that truly nourishes you inside and out.

Arriving at Lake Atitlan in Solola, Guatemala was an exciting experience. It’s not a quick trip by any means, but when you arrive magic happens. The environment is truly healing. It’s beautiful and alive with exotic plants and rare species of birds you rarely see in the states. Angela has purposely and intentionally chosen this location to create a container for each group of women who attend. The container opens a channel for healing, rejuvenation, and renewal to integrate into your life during and after the trip. Angela and the wonderful staff at Villa Sumaya were exceptional hosts and provided wonderful meals, beautiful accommodations, self-care options, and so many thoughtful extras. I highly recommend this trip for any woman who seeks a greater connection to herself or beyond.

My sister and I have been together at the Tybee Wellness retreat for the past three years. We keep returning because the experience is simply magical every time! Angela thinks of every single detail from the moment you arrive to make you feel welcome, relaxed and nurtured. She has gathered a team of women to provide delicious food and self care services to encourage a spiritual and healing weekend that is simply unforgettable! Bridgette

Treat yourself! You deserve it! I had never been on a retreat before, and never traveled alone to somewhere where I wouldn't know anyone at all. I was welcomed and embraced by the host and perfect strangers, who you build a bond and grow mentally & spiritually with, it's LIFE CHANGING. I am so glad I went to Tybee Wellness Retreat and ready to go back. The experience was truly AMAZING.

This retreat is beyond words!! The clarity I came home with was incredible and the things I was able to work through was truly life changing. Angela was the best hostess and the kindest woman, very attentive and always communicating well. Sue, Chrissy, Laurie, Cindy and Jessi were all an amazing addition to the retreat. The location was perfect the home was gorgeous, room so comfortable and Amber our chef was fantastic. I was hesitant with a vegetarian menu but it was all incredible. I can't wait to go back. All the women that attended were fantastic and I am so grateful to have treated my mind, body and soul to this unforgettable and perfect weekend. Thank you xs 100000 I will brag to everyone I know and already have. I feel like a new woman!

Anticipating greatness is one thing - to receive it is another. Thats what I found with Angela Lightsey at Tybee Island Wellness Retreat. From the moment you meet her you are taken in by her Southern hospitality mixed with magic. She performs miracles with her team. Her tribe consists of a fabulous Chef who makes healthy, creative beautiful dishes from strawberry rhubarb cobbler to Goddess bowls. A soundbath at the beginning captivated the group with trickling rains, thunderstorms & wind. Next the life altering moves of a very intuitive yoga instructor, Laurie. Laurie took special care of me from moving parts of my body on a sandy beach with the sounds of birds and children playing in the background. After learning my husband had cancer, Laurie made me realize it was okay to feel all the feels. She even shared a mantra. Cindy the art instructor had some insight with art excercises including breathing techniques. After yoga, my massage therapist, Deb gave the ultimate massage including a prayer and reggae music we selected together. It makes me want to return. Namaste my friends!
