Whole-life
Wellness Spaces

Our whole-life wellness retreat and rental properties are picturesque sanctuary spaces to retreat and grow as a family, as a business, or as an individual.

Transformative Experiences

And our transformational experiences provide you with the support, coaching, and community you need to live your true authentic purpose, grow as a personal and a professional, and love your life.

By providing retreat spaces, wellness memberships, and whole life personal and professional coaching, we help busy, overcommitted women set aside the time and space to practice self-care, nurture their growth, build connections, and find the freedom to live their most authentic joy-filled life.

Hi, I’m Mercedes! 

Founder and owner of Into The Woods. 

I founded Into the Woods Retreat (our beloved Retreat House) because our community needed a space for groups of women to gather, for crafting, respite, fellowship, and fun. From the very beginning, I wanted to provide a space to get away from it all that was easy and accessible. Today, our mission is much the same, but our business has grown to include resources and support beyond the Retreat House. We’re a business where groups, professional teams, families and individuals can gather and grow as an individual and together. 

I continue to grow and expand Into The Woods because I know what you’re going through, and I want to provide a place where you can feel supported, encouraged, and empowered.

Whether I’m working with clients in person, at my retreat, or from anywhere virtually, my mission is always centered around helping to connect families and communities, and helping women switch on the belief that they are worthy and can live even more expansive, authentic lives.

A digital content + community membership for connection and growth so you can create a fulfilling and productive life, without the exhaustion and burnout.

Success Stories

  •  “When I signed on with Mercedes I felt stuck and knew I needed a “new” direction. I was stressed out all the time, wondering about my job, and doubting my strengths.  Mercedes pushes me gently, has insight, creates a warm and inviting space, and has positive energy.  She has helped me to gain confidence, take action, have more direction, live into my call, and help me figure out my strengths.    I am excited to say I now own that I am a strong and good leader!”
