Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish
it's a power move.
You’re juggling a million things – work, kids, life – and somewhere along the way, you lost touch with that fierce, confident version of yourself.
You’ve been telling yourself you don’t have the time, money, or energy to do something just for you. But here’s the thing: You deserve to feel amazing, and it’s time to reclaim the fire inside.

Who This Retreat Is For
- Are ready to step out of their routine and into an unforgettable Italian adventure filled with beauty, laughter, and new experiences.
- Want to explore coastal villages, cobblestone streets, and hidden gems while reconnecting with their most curious, confident selves.
- Feel called to expand - their perspectives, their joy, their sense of freedom - through travel, sisterhood, and self-expression.
- Crave a balance of adventure and indulgence: hiking seaside trails, sipping wine at sunset, and soaking in the magic of la dolce vita.
If you are reading this and something inside you feels warm, pulled, or a little scared, that is your sign. The woman you are becoming is calling.
Women wait years to choose themselves because fear sounds like logic.
“I do not have time.”
“It is not the right season.”
“I should focus on everyone else first.”
“I will do it once I feel more confident.”
These are not reasons - these are patterns.
Patterns that keep you small.
Patterns that are ready to be broken.
You do not need more time.
You need a container that lifts you out of your routine so your power can breathe again.
That is what these retreats are.

Hi! I'm Alisha
I’m the founder of Atlantic Boudoir, based in Wilmington, NC — but more importantly, I’m someone who designs experiences that help women come back to themselves.
For the past seven years, my work has centered on creating intentional spaces where women can slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with their bodies, their voices, and their sense of self. Whether through photography, workshops, or retreats, the heart of what I do is the same: presence, permission, and transformation.
What I’ve learned through years of holding space for women is that true change doesn’t come from fixing yourself — it comes from being seen, softened, and supported long enough to remember who you already are.
Retreats allow that process to unfold more fully. With time, nature, and community, something shifts. Women arrive guarded or tired, and they leave more grounded, more alive, and more at home in themselves.
This is the work I care about most. And it’s an experience every woman deserves at least once.
Prioritizing my own well-being made me happier and more confident. Now, I help other women rediscover their spark through photography and travel.
