Retreat Educators & Hosts:

Portrait of KELLI Thomsen - a Licensed Esthetician & Holistic Skin Educato

Hi, I’m KELLI – a Licensed Esthetician & Holistic Skin Educator specializing in skin health & wellness. When I’m not with my clients creating skin care solutions, teaching a makeup lesson or getting a couple ready for their engagement session or wedding, you’ll find me in nature. 

For the past 22 years I’ve helped people get consistent with their skin health. I have a passion for plant-based, botanical ingredients that repair & heal, coupled with a medical grade quality that encourages results. Helping others understand the correlation between their daily rituals and how they feel about their skin is the most important part of what I do. 

It’s my goal to find all the pieces that make you unique and curate a guide to help you protect and keep your skin feeling & looking its best. My greatest wish is that you leave the retreat replenished – weaving everything that resonates for you into your daily practices, so you have the tools to live your most authentic & vibrant life. 


Portrait of Traci of LoveSeedHypnosis, educator at Mexico wellness retreat Replenish Retreat

Hi, I’m TRACI – certified health coach and hypnotherapist 🙂 I’m passionate about exploring the depths of the collective waking dream in each moment; honoring the invitation to unveil the multidimensional mysteries of the soul. 

Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys have been important tools in helping my clients discover the places with-in and with-out that don’t feel true, well or free. 

Tuning into the nervous system’s bio-field expression gives me an accurate picture of the blueprint of one’s evolutionary landscape and rhythms.

I create custom medicinals and experiential exercises, to help entrain, fortify, stabilize, balance and free your unique nervous system throughout its involutionary/evolutionary process.

My greatest wish is that we all get to thrive and live authentically as the unique expression that we came here to be! 

It is my honor to bring my world work to the Replenish wellness retreat community, where we will all meet our individual expression…to play and co-create at the evolutionary edge, of this collective shift in consciousness.


Portrait of Angela, certified breathwork facilitator & reiki practitioner

Hello,  I’m Angela – a certified breathwork facilitator & reiki practitioner, with training in fascia release, lymphatic drainage, & energy clearing techniques. 

I have always been fascinated by the body’s inner workings and I draw inspiration from both our internal ecology and the ecology of our broader communities. Together in this wellness retreat we will explore a variety of practices to help you feel more resourced, aligned and connected to the wisdom held within each of us.

YOUR REPLENISH RETREAT WELCOME KIT

This kit is curated to encourage self-care routines with bath & body essentials tested by an esthetician

1. OM Beauty Oil created by esthetician, Kelli Thomsen – an all in one facial oil that hydrates, nourishes and preps the skin, taking it from dull and dry to replenished. Each participant will receive a sample bottle of OM beauty oil made with organic Moroccan Cactus Seed Oil, Argan Oil and Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil to renew and restore your skin’s natural biome.

2. The Daily Jade Gua Sha Facial Tool has been a part of beauty regimens for centuries. The Jade stone is known to help sculpt facial features leaving you with brighter, glowing skin. It can be used with your serum or beauty oil to renew the skin by increasing blood flow and flushing out lymphatic drainage, stimulating skin for radiant results. Participants will get a Jade Gua Sha Tool to use and take home. Care & Benefits: Rinse and cleanse the Jade Gua Sha Facial Tool after use. Dry and store in a well-ventilated area.

  • Jade helps with brightening complexion and stimulating lymphatic drainage
  • Skin stimulator
  • Made with 100% Authentic Jade
  • NEVER tested on animals

3. Facial Cloth – each participant will receive a cloth for their personal use.

These airy and soft facial cloths are excellent for our fragile skin. Absorbent and lightweight, they make product removal a breeze, making it easy to move around facial features. They heat well, are made with 100% cotton and the gentle cloths get softer after each wash. They are my go to makeup remover and skin care removing cloths.

4. Hydra Bright Liquid Exfoliant by Glo Skin Beauty is a life saving, queen of exfoliants and safe for all skin types. Clinically-proven to smooth, refine and brighten skin with a unique blend of five alpha hydroxy acids & poly hydroxy acid. This gentle liquid exfoliant boosts the efficacy of serums, moisturizers, and other treatments. The radiance-renewing ingredients are mandelic, lactic, gluconic, and tartaric acids. 1 ounce bottle for each participant.

5. Enriched Firming Mask is an Epionce favorite! Each participant will receive a deluxe sample.

This hydrating mask is expertly formulated with botanical ingredients to help soothe and improve the visible appearance of elasticity and firmness of the skin. With highly emollient properties and a proprietary blend of barrier lipids, Enriched Firming Mask helps calm visible redness and irritation. Gives skin a visible boost of hydration. How to Use: Evenly apply to clean skin. Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse. For additional hydration, do not rinse. For best results, use weekly.

6. Daily Shield Tinted SPF 50 Sunscreen by Epionce provides broad spectrum protection and the tinted formula has an extra special way of evening out skin tone, while imparting a natural-looking healthy glow. I love the water-resistant formula, enhanced with botanical ingredients for antioxidant benefits. It provides a sheer protection in just the right amount of color to let skin look bare. It’s ideal for daily use, alone or under makeup to provide optimum protection from UV exposure. It is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective broad spectrum sunscreen, and was awarded “Best Under Makeup” by the Shape Magazine 2017 Sun Awards. Each participant will receive a deluxe sample of each.

7. Intense Defense Serum by Epionce is a complete multivitamin for the skin to be used every morning and evening. It’s formulated using botanical sources of Vitamins A, B, C, D and E and is clincally proven to improve the signs of aging. Each participant will receive a deluxe sample.

There’s something about a Hood River wedding that There’s something about a Hood River wedding that asks you to trust the elements, and Kathleen did just that.

Golden hour light spilling across The Gorge. Soft winds that honored her delicate veil instead of fighting it. A bridal party that moved through the day with the kind of ease that only comes when everyone feels genuinely cared for.

For Kathleen’s makeup, we let her natural freckles show through because why would we cover what makes her uniquely beautiful? Warm taupes and neutral tones that enhanced rather than masked. Soft and natural individual lashes. A rosewood lip chosen specifically to complement her natural skin tone, not fight against it.

This is what happens when you choose a beauty approach that works with your skin, your features, your natural coloring. Kathleen’s makeup held beautifully through riverside portraits, emotional vows, and dancing under the twilight because it was designed for her skin, this climate, these conditions.

This is the Pacific Northwest wedding beauty we’ve spent 25+ years perfecting. Weather-tested, botanically-driven, designed to let you be fully present instead of worried about how you look.

Thank you to this exceptional vendor team who understands that true luxury is in the details, the care, and the experience!

At 50, I’m not winding down, I’m finally warmed up At 50, I’m not winding down, I’m finally warmed up! What I’m tending now? 

It’s been growing all along. After years of trial & error, I finally learned how to be still enough to enjoy it bloom - the garden, the work, the space and balance of energy. Everything around me is finally aligned. There’s this flow now where nothing is forced and everything feels organic, exactly how I approach the work I do, exactly how life is meant to feel. 

RECAP of the most important things I’ve learned: 

-you don’t need a master plan, just keep showing up for what feels true.

-build your life like a garden, one intentional choice at a time.

-some people are seasonal, others are perennial, the storms show you which is which.

-your body’s wisdom is smarter than your mind’s logic, listen to it.

-you can’t show up for others unless you’re showing up for yourself first.

-boundaries aren’t walls, they’re how you protect the energy for what truly matters.

-healing changes your taste… in people, in habits, in dreams.

-trust what lights you up, because your excitement is real data.

-you don’t have to choose between the wild & intentional, be both!

Imagine makeup that enhances everything already extraordinary about your face. Hair polished or framing your radiant complexion. That’s what we do. That’s what we created for Annika for her backyard wedding in McMinnville, Oregon above.

Your skin is the canvas and that’s exactly why we Your skin is the canvas and that’s exactly why we created this luminous, no-foundation look for Teal. 

When your complexion is this healthy, why cover it?

The truth about wedding day radiance? It doesn’t start in the makeup chair. It starts three months before your date—with daily hydration that plumps from within, gentle exfoliation that creates glass-smooth texture, and nervous system care that keeps stress from stealing your glow.

Because here’s what prepared skin does: Makeup melts in seamlessly. You photograph like light itself. Your look lasts through every tear, kiss, and dance floor moment without touch-up panic.

This is the difference between makeup that masks and beauty that magnifies what’s already yours.

That’s why our consultation doesn’t start with Pinterest boards—it starts with your current skincare routine. We need to know what your skin is drinking in every morning and night, because that 90-day investment is what makes the difference between makeup sitting on top of your face and a glow that comes from within.

Your wedding day radiance isn’t painted on. It’s earned through intentional care, then elevated by expert hands who know how to let your natural beauty lead. #oregonwedding #weddingbeauty

I can give you a beautiful makeup application, but I can give you a beautiful makeup application, but I can’t give you healthy skin. That partnership starts before your wedding - with hydration, consistency, and a routine that supports your nervous system as much as your microbiome. Because the most elevated beauty? It starts beneath the surface. 

The couples who photograph best aren’t the ones who wear the most makeup - they’re the ones whose skin was ready to receive it. Prepped. Hydrated. Cared for. This is where flawless begins. 

These are some of my favorite products that give incredible results, but they’re just tools - and they’re not right for everyone. What transforms skin is finding YOUR unique habits and showing up for them every single day. 

That’s what we do together in consultation - I read your skin, we talk about your life, and we create a customized routine you feel good maintaining. Consistency is everything, but it has to be built on the right foundation. 

This is how we unlock lasting radiance and find your perfect routine together. My consultations allow you to start your skincare journey with clarity, confidence, and a customized plan.

I can’t wait to share our NEW skin care, makeup & hair styling packages for our 2026 & 2027 couples soon. Imagine intentional & elemental beauty as we help you feel your best and unlock your most radiant and flawless complexion! #weddingbeauty #cleanbeauty #oregonwedding #healthyskinprep #oregonweddingmakeup #oregonmakeupartist #skinprep #skintips #weddinggoals #beauty Florals & Design: @bloomculture_co

The best part of wedding days? For me it’s not jus The best part of wedding days? For me it’s not just the beauty that surrounds me - it’s the connection. When Gina asked me for a hug today, it was everything. We had so much fun and she’s the epitome of natural beauty. She didn’t want to feel overdone or made up, so we created a look that enhanced her radiance while keeping everything soft & luminous. 

The Skin Prep:
@gloskinbeauty PRO 5 Liquid Exfoliant
@soniarosellibeauty Water Elixir
@belif Aquabomb Moisturizer
@ombeautyoil | Om Beauty Oil pressed on top

The Face:
We bounced in @faceatelier | Face Atelier foundation with a sponge for that seamless, skin-like finish. @fitglowbeauty | Fit Glow Beauty Peach Corrector brightened her under and inner eye darkness, then we added @kosas | Kosas Baked Blush in Dreamland and Heartbeat for a natural flush. My favorite Glo Skin Beauty Cream Bronzer Stick in Warm Glow brought warmth and dimension to complete her glowing complexion.

The Eyes:
Glo Skin Beauty Cream Shadow in Beam created soft definition, with @diorbeauty | Dior highlighter placed in the outer corners and upper cheeks for a lifted, luminous effect. I tightlined with brown liner by @onesize | One Size, then used @danessa_myricks | Danessa Myricks Color Fix to set her individual @eyemimosanfrancisco | Eyemimo lashes (after curling with the @rephr.to | Rephr lash curler first). Prepped the curled lashes with @judydoll_official | Judydoll mascara in black for that perfect lifted, pre-flutter.

The Lips:
Fit Glow Beauty Lip Serum as the base, topped with Glo Skin Beauty lipgloss in Whisper - the perfect understated elegance.

Setting It All:
Danessa Myricks Evolution Powder and One Size Waterproof Setting Spray to ensure everything stayed flawless from ceremony through the entire celebration.
