April 19th-24th in The Algarve, Portugal
A five day immersive + intimate retreat for educators and leaders like you to reconnect with yourself and refine your client attraction + sales systems. We’ll take care of everything so you can focus on the vision, execution, and play.
Let me guess… You're the one everyone else comes to for the plan. Meanwhile, your own brand and marketing for that amazing new idea you dreamed up are sitting in your notes app, yet to see the light of day 👀
Past attendees have said it better than we can: "I realized how much money I was leaving on the table by not having an email marketing system in place for followups." and "There’s nothing better than putting down all the hats and showing up for yourself." The name of this retreat says it all because when you remove yourself from the day to day responsibilities of running a business, you can zoom out enough to see things clearly and do the 20% of deep work that drives 80% of your results as a business owner.
The beauty industry leaders and creative AF educators in our community have two major things in common.
They have a million genius ideas for how they can grow
They are missing the white space to breathe, to process, and to hear themselves
We’ve created the container (paired with expert guidance, a high level community and a luxurious experience) that gives you the space to bring your big ideas to life and refine what’s working for you already.
So, what does the education part of our 2.0 retreat look like?
Not your mama’s marketing talk. During this retreat, we really examine what resonates with your ideal clients (or students). We look at messaging through an entirely different lens.
We’re answering the question: Does it actually explain what you do and why it matters… plus answer all the questions that are popping up along the way for the person deciding whether to buy, book, or hire you?
Mornings are the deep-work block… auditing your client journey (where are people actually dropping off, and why), getting clarity on your messaging (do you sound like you, or like every other bio in your niche), and mapping your whole sales ecosystem from content to funnel all the way through follow-up… so your growth is held together by a repeatable system instead of vibes.
Coffee first, obviously. Whether you energize with a cappuccino in the garden or a brisk walk to the seaside… you’ll find what you need to inspire your creativity in The Algarve.
Afternoons get hands-on. You're editing your actual sales page, writing the email sequence you've been putting off, filming the B-roll… with real feedback in real time.
A generic "looks great!" is not the vibe, btw. We get into how to actually measure what's working, so your next move is backed by data instead of a hunch and a prayer.
You leave with the thing done (vs. inspiration that never gets executed on.)
When you Escape To Elevate, what you’ll experience outside the workshops will impact your business just as deeply.
Nothing changes your capacity for what’s possible like being surrounded by people who dream huge and make it their reality. Physically changing your location and being surrounded by history and natural beauty will expand your mind in ways you can’t quite describe until you’ve experienced it. We blend cultural immersion, deep work, time to play and explore for the perfect reset.
You’re having coffee, exploring a new country, and breaking bread with people who aren’t here to play small. You’re supported by a creative and strategic team that sees your vision clearly… and is ready to help you build the system that helps it grow.
Who is Escape To Elevate for?
This retreat is designed to have maximum impact for creative entrepreneurs & beauty industry educators. Our attendees are a mix of course creators, online service providers, coaches, hair + beauty entrepreneurs & educators. We cater to soul-driven leaders like you who want to create a massive impact and make a difference in their industry. If you’re craving depth + connection and you’re ready to refine the foundations of your brand to make you truly magnetic + learn marketing strategies that will serve you for the rest of your career. You'll find your people here.
Portugal is a brand-new location but we’re bringing our signature retreat experience.
Escape to Elevate Algarve is our signature blend of strategy, experience, luxury, support and content creation… but this time through the lens of increasing your sales and your impact.
The exact words you’ve been trying to find for your sales page? They finally land.
The inspired rewrite of your email sequence? It’s flowing.
Instead of taking notes… You’re taking action.

Jamie Dana: Influencer, Youtuber, Speaker & Educator
"As an Instagram expert and educator myself, I cannot recommend Jodie and her team enough! Jodie's expertise in Instagram content creation has been a game-changer for my business, and I couldn't be more grateful for her services! What impressed me the most about Jodie was her ability to understand my voice. Jodie's attention to detail is remarkable. I highly recommend Jodie and her team to anyone looking for an overwhelm-free approach to Instagram marketing.

Misty Jayne, Independent Hairstylist & Finance Coach
“Jodie has shown me that marketing my business isn’t selling. It’s raving about what I love and the sale are just a by product. She has shown me what it looks like to be excited about my business and continues to help me grow personally and professionally.

Anna Lamber, Hair Extension Educator
“Jodie is so good at what she does and knows the beauty industry inside and out! She’s helped me dial into who I specifically serve, messaging which has been a struggle, e-mail marketing, coaching ideas, and helped me create a new relationship with social media. She explains things in a way that’s easy to understand and gets to the point. No fluff in between! I wouldn’t be where I am without her 1:1 coaching sessions.”
Bringing big ideas to life is easier on holiday.
You land, and from that moment on... you don't think about logistics again.
Your driver will pick you up from the airport in Faro and whisk you away for five nights in a gorgeous villa steps from the beach with a heated pool and our private chef Filipe cooking meals that make you forget what a granola bar for dinner hunched over your laptop even feels like. You can sip coffee outside while getting ready for our morning workshop, explore with our hand-curated itinerary to see the best of The Algarve… and all you have to think about is your future while we guide you through bringing it to life.
You’ll have expansive conversations and who knows, maybe even meet your next business bestie or collab partner.
The ideas that hit you poolside or during a casual convo over Pastel de Nata aren't a coincidence... your brain is literally wired to think differently here than it does at your desk.
Ashley (who attended our Corfu retreat) described the whole thing as feeling like their "cup got filled"... and realizing, once they were actually in the room, that everyone there is more alike than different… no matter where they are in their business. She said it best, there's nothing better than putting down all the hats and showing up for yourself.

“I had a beautiful experience with Nichole. She is very friendly, engaging and creative! Her studio is fresh, clean and bright. The flow of the session and her attention to detail is on point. Her special touch with the hair/make up artist that she includes in this package made me feel pampered.

“Nicole was great! I honestly hate taking photos, but Nicole made me feel comfortable, and worked so quickly. She did not waste any time, she was organized and it allowed us to optimize the short time window and get a few shirt changes to allow for variety! 10/10 would recommend. Plus her studio was so bright and structured!!”
