Winter Wellness Retreat

Led by psychotherapist and wellness advocate Lorraine Kenlock, this immersive retreat invites guests to pause, restore, and reconnect. Blending evidence-based therapy with Caribbean-rooted healing, Lorraine curates experiences designed to nurture emotional balance and nervous system calm. Guests will explore somatic practices, reflective journaling, and nourishing Ital cuisine—all within Salterra’s tranquil landscape. This intimate weekend honors stillness as a form of luxury, where care is intentional and every detail restores mind, body, and spirit.

Event Schedule & Pricing

Salterra’s Wellness Retreat, in partnership with The Ital Life and guided by psychotherapist Lorraine Kenlock, offers an intimate journey of renewal rooted in both science and soul. Designed as a three-day immersion, the experience invites guests to release tension and reconnect through clinically informed, culturally grounded care.

Drawing upon her expertise in trauma recovery, somatic therapy, and mind-body integration, Lorraine creates a space where restoration feels deeply personal. Each day unfolds through a thoughtful rhythm of guided movement, reflective dialogue, and gentle rituals designed to rebalance the nervous system. Guests are invited to slow down and reattune—through practices inspired by Somatic EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Caribbean wellness traditions.

Holistic nourishment is central to the experience. Curated in collaboration with The Ital Life, meals are plant-forward, vibrant, and designed to support emotional and physical wellbeing. Between sessions, moments of quiet rest and island immersion—morning sea breezes, open-sky meditation, the stillness of South Caicos—become part of the therapy itself.

More than a retreat, this is a homecoming to oneself—where evidence-based healing meets the art of hospitality, and calm becomes the ultimate form of luxury.
