The Coastal Reset Retreat: Isle of Palms

Reserve Your Spot

What to Expect

A weekend created to help you slow down, reconnect, and return home feeling refreshed.

The Coastal Reset is an invitation to step away from the demands of everyday life and make space for yourself. Through nourishing meals, gentle movement, meaningful conversation, and unhurried moments by the beach, you'll experience a weekend designed to help you rest, recharge, and reconnect—with yourself and with a community of incredible women.

❋ Intentional Balance

Each day offers a thoughtful blend of guided experiences and free time, allowing you to participate, reflect, relax, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings at your own pace.

❋ Nourishment for Mind & Body

Enjoy chef-prepared meals, daily movement, wellness sessions, and moments of quiet that leave you feeling energized, grounded, and cared for.

❋ Meaningful Connection

Whether you arrive with a friend or on your own, you'll be welcomed into a supportive community of women who value slowing down, authentic conversation, and shared experiences.

❋ Space To Simply Be

No packed itineraries. No pressure to be "on." Just time to breathe deeply, walk the beach, curl up with a book, enjoy the pool, or embrace whatever rest looks like for you.

 

Your Home for the Weekend

Meet Your Hosts

  • Jessica Briggs

    FOUNDER OF BRIGGS ESCAPES + HOST OF THE COASTAL RESET

    After spending the last 12 years as a stay-at-home mom raising my three boys, I recently returned to work and found myself rediscovering a part of myself that had quietly taken a back seat while caring for everyone else. That experience reminded me how important it is for women to make time for themselves—not just once in a while, but intentionally.

    As the founder of Briggs Escapes, I spend my days helping clients create meaningful travel experiences around the world. But The Coastal Reset is especially close to my heart. I created this weekend as an opportunity for women to step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, and build genuine connections with other women in a beautiful, relaxing setting.

    As your host for the weekend, my goal is simple: to make you feel welcomed, cared for, and completely free to slow down. Whether you're arriving with a friend or coming on your own, I hope you leave feeling rested, inspired, and with new friendships that continue long after the weekend ends.

    I can't wait to welcome you to The Coastal Reset.
