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. KITSCH Satin Pillowcases are your newest nighttime necessity. Their soft satin fabric won't agitate your strands while you sleep, allowing you to wake up frizz free and ready to take on the day. Get a good night’s rest with these luxurious and sustainable pillowcases. Each participant gets a pillow case and the package includes 1 Queen/Standard size pillowcase (26"x19") with zipper.

2. OM Beauty Oil created by esthetician, Kelli Thomsen will be launching at the Replenish Retreat. It’s an all in one facial oil that hydrates, nourishes and preps the skin, taking it from dull and dry to replenished. My favorite part of this oil formulating journey is the oil will be REFILLABLE at my studio! Who doesn’t love sustainability? 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.

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Cocofloss is the dentist designed, ultra-cleansing floss that is unlike ineffective “gliding” floss, because it features a textured, loofah-like weave of 500+ filaments. As you floss, these soft strands expand to whoosh away sticky plaque and cavity-causing bacteria. Made with Coconut oil — a natural antimicrobial, that soothes your gums while the delightful aromas turn an everyday task into a treat! Made in Italy and committed to thoughtfully sourced ingredients. No toxins, no animal testing and each participant gets their own reel of Cocofloss amazingness to reach all of those inbetween places that are crucial to your well being.

SIERRA & WILL’S FOREST FAIRYTALE✨ When Sierra SIERRA & WILL’S FOREST FAIRYTALE✨

When Sierra told me she wanted makeup that could withstand happy tears beneath the forest canopy, I knew exactly what she needed. We created a luminous look for her fair skin (no cakey orange bronzer here!) and those soft waves she dreamed of for her curls by the talented @hairstyling_by_tay

And let’s not forget Will—because grooms deserve that moment of presence too. Hand massage, cuticle care, and subtle skin perfecting had him relaxed and radiant for their joyful, inclusive celebration with a slightly structured vibe.

This is why I do what I do. Not just applying makeup and perfecting skin, but creating moments of calm in the cabin while you prepare to celebrate with your community. 

Camp Colton magic with these two was everything—moody spring forest vibes, then Katie capturing the glowy evening light, and makeup that lasted from “I do” to the afterparty.

Your wedding day beauty should feel as authentic as your love story. Oregon couples—ready to glow on your day? The calendar for 2025 is almost full and 2026 is filling up fast!

The most powerful skincare ingredient? Presence. The most powerful skincare ingredient? Presence. 

This morning, as I was applying my facial oil, I caught myself going through the motions while my mind raced ahead to today's priorities.

I stopped. Took a deep breath. And started again—this time feeling the oil warm between my fingertips, noticing how my skin drank it in, appreciating the subtle scent of Argan & Palma Rosa.

Those 90 seconds of genuine presence changed everything about the rest of my day.

After 25 years in beauty, I've realized something profound: these rituals aren't just about the products or even the results—they're rare moments when we have permission to truly connect with ourselves.

We live in a world that constantly pulls our attention outward. Your beauty ritual might be the only time today where you're fully allowed to focus inward.

You deserve those moments of self-connection.
Not because they'll make your skin glow (though they will). Not because they're efficient (they often aren't). But because in those quiet moments of presence, you remember who you are beneath all the roles you play and expectations you carry.

How can you transform one of your daily beauty rituals into a moment of genuine presence today? I'd love to hear in the comments below.

I don't just apply makeup—I create transformativ I don't just apply makeup—I create transformative beauty experiences by blending cutting-edge Western science with ancient Eastern wisdom.

My journey has taken me beyond standard beauty training into the depths of skin physiology, advanced formulation chemistry, AND the time-honored Eastern principles that view beauty as a reflection of inner harmony.

This unique perspective allows me to see what others miss: the connections between your skin's needs, your personal energy, and the perfect techniques to enhance YOUR natural radiance.

Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, updating your professional image, or seeking a skincare revamp—I bring a level of expertise that addresses both the visible AND invisible aspects of beauty.

At Kelli Thomsen Beauty, we don't panic about skin issues—we solve them! Whether you're dealing with stress breakouts, unexpected redness, or just want to feel confident without heavy makeup, our proactive approach ensures your natural beauty shines through for your entire event.

Those pips original doughnuts weren't just a sweet treat for the reception—they represent something we can all understand: the balance between wedding indulgences and skin health! Real talk: enjoyment & stress can both trigger skin inflammation, breakouts, and sensitivity before your big day.

That's where our skincare journey began - Hannah and I worked through 3 Custom Dermaplane Facials w/ LED light therapy and my signature trifecta treatment. We addressed active breakouts, calmed inflammation, and created a customized routine that allowed her skin to THRIVE despite pre-wedding stress.

After 2 detailed trials addressing her specific concerns, Hannah's complexion was absolutely radiant come July—ready for the minimal, airbrush application that Yolianna executed perfectly. Her gorgeous updo by Marissa was elegant and captured so beautifully by @indwellweddings.

Remember: skin concerns are normal, especially during high-stress planning periods. Instead of covering them up, let's work together to address them at the source so you can enjoy BOTH the doughnuts AND flawless skin!

Our team collaborates seamlessly with your entire vendor squad (see this dream team tagged below!) to create a relaxed timeline dedicated entirely to YOUR vision as a couple.

Some moments take your breath away. Lane + Mason’s wedding day was one of those days where everything felt like it was meant to be. The Columbia River Gorge provided the perfect backdrop—crisp October air, golden light filtering through the trees, and that magical feeling of fall wrapping everyone in its embrace.

Their first look? Absolutely unforgettable. I couldn’t help myself—I snuck into the trees to witness the moment Mason turned around to see Lane for the first time. His face lit up with pure joy, and Lane’s excitement was written all over her glowing smile (which, yes, we made sure stayed flawless with a natural, radiant look!). It was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still, and I felt so honored to be part of it.

This day came together thanks to an incredible team of vendors who poured their hearts into every detail:
@hostedby.co - planning and design
@calebgaskinsphoto - photographer 
@foraged_blooms florals 
@kellithomsen - beauty 
@bluewaveband -  music 
@whitepepperpdx - catering 
@blossom.baking’s - cake 
@ardeneventcollective - rentals
@bbjlatavola - linens 
@thegriffinhouse - wedding venue 

When it comes to makeup and hair, my goal is always simple: I want you to feel like YOU—radiant, confident, and ready for every moment of your day. For Lane, we focused on enhancing her natural beauty with clean products that ensured her look stayed fresh from their emotional first look to dancing the night away.

If you’re planning your wedding and dreaming of a day where every detail feels intentional, let’s talk about how we can create a look that makes you feel beautiful inside and out. Your love story deserves nothing less than magic.
