We are ElevateHER
The women who make the magic happen.
ElevateHER Retreats isn’t just an experience—it’s a collective. A gathering of women who believe in the power of sisterhood, soul work, and showing up fully for one another.
Each retreat is brought to life by a team of passionate, gifted women—coaches, healers, creatives, and guides—who pour their hearts into every moment. We come together not just to lead, but to create something sacred and unforgettable alongside you.
We are not background support. We are the heartbeat of ElevateHER.
And none of this happens without each woman here.
Our roles may vary—some lead coaching sessions, others guide meditation, facilitate energy work, or hold space through movement and story. But at our core, we are a team. A sisterhood. Each of us is deeply committed to helping every woman who joins us feel seen, supported, and transformed.
No matter which retreat you attend or who’s leading it, know this:
You’re stepping into something that was built with love, shaped by intention, and held by women who are all-in for your growth.
This is who we are.
We can’t wait to welcome you in.
We’re always open to connecting with aligned, heart-led women who feel called to this work. Click here to apply

"This isn’t just about retreats—it’s about remembering who you are when the world gets quiet. About creating space to feel, to breathe, to become. That’s what we’re here for. That’s what we do—together."

Meet Our Founder
I’m Lakeen — founder of The Rise & Create Society and ElevateHER Retreats, coach, retreat curator, and woman deeply committed to creating spaces where women can breathe, expand, and return to themselves.
I started ElevateHER with a vision, but this movement has become so much more than me. It’s grown into a team—a sisterhood—of powerful, purpose-filled women who each bring their own light, wisdom, and magic into these retreats.
I’m not just leading this—I’m walking beside you. Whether I’m hosting a workshop, holding space during a sunrise session, or sharing quiet laughter over coffee in the villa kitchen, I’m here as both a guide and a teammate. My role is to create the space, gather the right people, and let the soul of the retreat unfold.
And that’s the beauty of ElevateHER.
It’s not about any one person—it’s about the energy we all bring together.
Welcome to our circle.
I’m so glad you’re here.

Amanda Blaire
Spiritual Guide | Emotional Healer | Intuitive Facilitator
Amanda Blaire is a spiritual guide and emotional healer who creates safe, soul-centered spaces for people to release what no longer serves them and reconnect with who they truly are. Her work is rooted in personal transformation—born from deep pain, lived experience, and the strength that comes from choosing healing over hiding.
Through her intuitive sessions, powerful reflections, and trauma-informed approach, Amanda gently guides others through the messy middle—the place where old stories fall away and your true self begins to rise. She asks the hard questions. She holds space for the tears. And she walks with you through the discomfort until clarity, connection, and peace come through on the other side.
At the core of Amanda’s work is a mission to help people feel spiritually grounded, emotionally free, and fully at home within themselves. Whether you’re meeting your true self for the first time or reconnecting after a long detour, Amanda will help you find your way back—with compassion, strength, and sacred truth.


Diva Khoury
Spiritual Guide | Energy Worker | Yogini | Intuitive Facilitator

With over 20 years of experience working with people of all ages—and a background that bridges science, arts, and music—Diva brings a deeply integrated and heart-centered approach to healing.
Her work blends ancient wisdom with modern understanding, combining energy work, intuitive readings, yogic practices, and soulful conversation to support transformation on every level. Since 2017, Diva has deepened into the spiritual realm, offering guidance that is as grounded as it is expansive.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey inward or seeking deeper alignment, Diva creates a space where you can drop the mask, open your heart, and come home to yourself.


Khush Stevens
Mind-Body Energy Guide & Retreat Facilitator
Khush brings over 14 years of experience in deep emotional and energetic healing — and she’s not here for surface work. She’s a practicing psychotherapist and certified in modalities like Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT), Inner Child Matrix, Hypnotherapy, NLP coaching, and somatic energy flow.
She also incorporates tarot, past life regression, CBT/REBT, and intuitive guidance into her work.
What makes Khush different?
She doesn’t just help women process — she helps them release. Her work bridges the logical with the energetic, the emotional with the embodied. Whether it’s unraveling old patterns, softening survival responses, or just finding clarity through connection, her presence alone invites safety and self-trust.
At ElevateHER Retreats, Khush creates grounded, soul-deep spaces where women can feel, explore, rest, and remember who they are — without judgment and without having to hold it all together.


Madeline Kay
Vitality Coach | Breathwork Facilitator | Founder of The Odyssey Approach
Dr. Madeline Kay — a licensed psychologist, creator of The Odyssey Approach®, and the kind of woman who blends science and soul in everything she does.
With a PhD in clinical and organizational psychology, Madeline brings a powerful mix of trauma-informed care, holistic wellness, and creative expression into her work. She’s also certified in yoga and pole/dance fitness (yes, she’s that multi-faceted), and uses movement, mindfulness, and body awareness to guide deep healing and self-discovery.
Madeline believes that art, beauty, and embodiment are key to meaningful transformation—and she weaves that belief into every retreat, workshop, and client experience she leads.
As the CEO of The October Hour, PLLC, she’s helped women around the world reconnect with themselves through immersive, soul-stirring sessions that don’t just change how you think—but how you feel and move through life.
Get ready to feel seen, supported, and deeply inspired.


Samantha Gregory
Self-Care Alchemist | Speaker | Author | Retreat Facilitator
Samantha Gregory is a powerful force in the world of radical self-care and soulful transformation. As the founder of Self-Care Oasis and creator of the Self-Care Alchemy™ method, Samantha helps high-achieving women who are burnt out, overextended, and running on empty reclaim their energy, boundaries, and joy.
Her journey is one of deep resilience—navigating and healing from family dysfunction, cult trauma, domestic abuse, and early menopause brought on by chronic stress. Through it all, she found her way back to herself. Now, she guides other women through that same return.
With a blend of holistic practices, storytelling, and real-life tools, Samantha supports women in shifting from survival mode to sovereignty. Her sessions, retreats, and signature AI coach, S.A.M.I., offer a unique, grounded approach to wellness that meets women where they are—with compassion, truth, and empowerment.
Samantha’s work isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about coming home to your body, your voice, and your own inner wisdom. With her guidance, women learn to set boundaries without guilt, prioritize themselves unapologetically, and live a life rooted in peace, purpose, and ease.


Tara Khoury
Embodiment Mentor | Intuitive Facilitator | Sacred Space Holder
Tara Khoury is a deeply intuitive guide and embodiment mentor who creates sacred spaces for women to reconnect with their bodies, their breath, and their truth. With a background in movement, energy work, and somatic practices, she leads with presence and compassion—inviting others to drop the armor, soften into their wholeness, and reclaim their power from within.
Her work is rooted in the belief that healing doesn’t have to be hard—it can be soft, soulful, and deeply transformative. Tara’s sessions and retreat experiences blend breathwork, intuitive guidance, and body-based practices that help women come back to themselves in a grounded, nourishing way.
She doesn’t just lead from knowledge—she leads from lived experience, from years of deep inner work, and from the unwavering belief that every woman holds the wisdom she seeks inside her.
At ElevateHER Retreats, Tara holds space with both tenderness and strength, guiding each woman into deeper embodiment, clarity, and expansion—always with the reminder that your body is not the barrier, it’s the way back.
