ISLAND RESET RETREAT
PUERTO RICO
FEBRUARY 5-9, 2026
Reset Your Nervous System, Reconnect With Your Soul, Guided by Nature
The Island Reset Retreat with Paddle Babes
Something powerful happens when you step away from the noise and let nature take the lead.
On the sun-drenched shores of Puerto Rico, we’ll paddle, breathe, float, and rest—giving your nervous system the reset it’s been quietly begging for. This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the busyness.
At Paddle Babes, our intention is for you to return home feeling like yourself again: grounded, recharged, and with a calmer nervous system, clearer mind, and deeper connection to your body and intuition. We want to help you to carry the energy of the island with you, long after you’ve left.
Nestled in the heart of El Yunque Rainforest, this retreat is surrounded by waterfalls, lush palms, and the rhythm of the jungle. We’ll spend our days moving gently, eating well, and soaking up island beauty through hikes to waterfalls and paddling calm waters—and one magical night paddling in a nearby bioluminescent bay!
We’ve got 4 cozy, beautiful room types for you to choose from.
We’re staying in a 6-bedroom, 4-bath waterfront home on Murrells Inlet, designed for laid-back vibes and easy access to adventure. With a private dock for launching kayaks, and a private pool.
Located just across the street from the beach, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: the salty Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. With space for 7–9 guests, it’s an intimate, welcoming space where sisterhood, stillness, and salty air come together.

Are you ready to trade burnout for balance—not with screens or self-help hacks, but with saltwater, sunshine, and space to breathe?
With Paddle Babes as your guide, this is your invitation to unplug, float, move, rest, and reconnect—with nature, with your body, and with the version of you that isn’t running on empty.
This retreat is designed to calm your nervous system and bring you back into rhythm with the natural world.
Through slow movement, nature immersion, and unstructured time to simply be, you’ll learn to rest in a way that actually restores you.
You’ll paddle tropical waters, hike to hidden waterfalls, practice gentle yoga, and swim in rainforest pools—while letting someone else make the plans for once. Just arrive. We’ll take it from there.
You don’t need to know how to paddle, meditate, or do yoga. You just need to be open to a different pace—one led by the tides, the trees, and what you need most.
You’ll also learn how to:
Slow down without guilt—and actually enjoy the pause
Recognize when your nervous system needs care and know how to respond
Use movement and nature as tools for calm, clarity, and connection
Reconnect with your body, your breath, and your senses
Return home feeling refreshed, grounded, and steady in yourself
There are plenty of reasons to let the island work its magic:
You're overstimulated and undersupported—and you're ready for a new way
You crave a deeper kind of rest, the kind that sticks with you
You want to be taken care of—not the one managing it all
You’re ready to feel more calm, less chaos in both body and mind
You want real connection: to nature, to yourself, and to other women who get it
Lauren Pavao | Retreat Leader, Paddle Instructor, Outdoor Guide
Lauren knows what it’s like to be a highly driven woman on the verge of burnout. She discovered the healing power of water during a season when she needed deep rest and reconnection. What started as a personal practice turned into a passion for helping women slow down, unplug, and feel at home in nature—and in themselves.
She’s been leading women in nature and on the water for 5 years. She’s discovered that women come alive and become their best selves when they’re allowed to be fully authentic out in nature.
Through her grounded guidance and love for wild places, she creates space for women to reset their nervous systems, move with the water, and return home feeling calm, clear, and recharged.
