"The retreats allow couples an opportunity to love, connect, and grow through touch, in an incredibly romantic location and exquisite accommodations. Healing happens when you're horizontal."
Featured among Sarasota’s most distinguished women in the annual Women On the Scene edition — Diane was profiled as a world traveler, hopeless romantic, and couples wellness pioneer bringing transformative massage retreats to the most exotic locations on earth.
“The intention behind every couples retreat is for you to disconnect from the whole wide world and find a breath of tranquility in peaceful surroundings, while in the tender hands of your loved one.”
