Karen San Andres and Christine Fortier have rejoined forces to bring you their second annual Confidence From Within Women’s Health Retreat at Catalina’s Hideaway, Lago Bay, Panama. They are feeling so incredibly in alignment with how an alcohol free environment and women’s health education, in a location that nurtures rest and rejuvenation, allows for an even deeper, more intentional connection to self and with each other.
