Ashley Claire is the founder of SERA Retreats, a women’s travel company built on the belief that the best adventures aren’t just about where you go, they’re about who you become along the way.

What began as a passion for bringing women together has grown into thoughtfully curated retreats that blend adventure, wellness, meaningful connection, and unforgettable experiences. Ashley loves creating spaces where women can step away from the demands of everyday life, try something new, and return home feeling more confident, inspired, and connected.

Whether it’s exploring a new country, sharing stories over dinner, or watching strangers become lifelong friends, Ashley believes the most meaningful moments often happen outside our comfort zones.

Her mission is simple: to create retreats where every woman feels welcomed, supported, and empowered to rediscover herself—one unforgettable journey at a time.

Kelli Blake is a Portland-based fitness instructor and Certified Sound Healing Facilitator, with a passion for helping women reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.

Throughout the retreat, Kelli will guide daily wellness experiences including strength and mobility classes, yoga-inspired movement, restorative sound baths, breathwork, and mindfulness practices designed to leave guests feeling grounded, energized, and present. Her welcoming approach creates an environment where women of all experience levels feel supported, encouraged, and empowered.

Kelli believes wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about slowing down, listening to your body, and making space for gratitude. Whether leading a class, facilitating a sound bath, or sharing conversations after sunset, her goal is always the same: to help every guest leave feeling stronger, more connected, and more at home within themselves.

She is honored to co-host Return to You alongside SERA Retreats and can’t wait to welcome you to Costa Rica.
