What if rest wasn’t a reward—but a revolution?


What if pleasure wasn’t indulgent—but essential?

The Pleasure Pause is a 5-day gathering for women who are ready to step out of the swirl of stress and into deep nourishment, embodiment, and joy.

Sail on a luxurious private yacht in the beauty of French Polynesia, this retreat is an invitation to exhale—fully, unapologetically, and together.

This isn’t about fixing you.


It’s about loving you.

🌕 Why This, Why Now?

In a world that pulls you into urgency, numbness, or performance…
This is your invitation to slow down, drop in, and be seen.

đź’  Real Community
A live monthly gathering where you’re met without judgment and held without pressure. This is not a class—it’s a circle. You’ll be supported by women who are also walking the path of embodiment, intimacy, and wholeness.

đź’  Authentic Practice
This space isn’t just about talking—it’s about being. Each session is a living practice of intimacy: with yourself, with others, and with life. You’ll engage in powerful, facilitated authentic relating, share in breakout rooms, and receive gentle, timely coaching from Janet when it serves your growth.

đź’  Themes That Matter
Each month centers around a potent theme—like Orgasm, Boundaries, Trust, Desire, Communication, Identity, or Shame—designed to spark truth-telling, healing, and deeper connection. These themes help us explore the many dimensions of intimacy, sexuality, and selfhood, with space for all identities and orientations.

đź’  Support That Lasts
This is where insight becomes lifestyle. Where growth becomes embodiment. Not in isolation—but in connection.

Because you deserve to feel at home in your body.
Because your pleasure matters.
Because taking exquisite care of yourself is not indulgence—it’s wisdom.

When the world feels chaotic, coming back to the body is a revolutionary act.
When life feels too fast, gathering in circle is medicine.
This is your chance to pause, to nourish, to remember what it feels like to be fully you.

🏡 Your Home for Five Days

We’ll gather in a private, luxury estate nestled in the hills outside San Francisco—a lush, light-filled home with wide views, soft spaces, and the warmth of nature all around.

This is not just a venue—it’s a temple.
A lovingly held space for laughter, stillness, celebration, and sacred sisterhood.

Location:

A luxurious private home with panoramic views, cozy shared spaces, and elegant touches throughout. You’ll have the option of shared or solo accommodations, with plenty of quiet spaces and warmth.

My Story 

I spent most of my life hating my body.  After a childhood assault in which I learned my body was an unsafe and unhappy place to be, I pretty much gave up ever accepting it - let alone loving it.  I just knew it was too disgusting to ever be okay. 

I know what it feels like to be both completely disconnected from my body AND somehow at war with it.  I know personally how terrified I was to let someone see me - and how that terror kept me from being open to and receiving genuine romantic love.

I dieted, dressed up, cleansed, studied, hid, and paraded my own body in the hopes my attitude would change… And nothing changed.  Not that deep, afraid feeling inside I was too ugly.

Until I found that all of it somehow mattered less when I could finally just… love my body as it was...and love myself.

And when that happened, miraculously, I found love with another.  

Since that moment many years ago, I have had the privilege of being a body empowerment and intimacy coach, and have supported hundreds of women heal their own stories about their bodies as they recover from eating disorders, sexual trauma, childhood abuse, disability prejudice - and find love with a partner.

- With love, Janet
