A Retreat Led by Women, for Women

Guided by Jen & Emilee, The REbuild Retreat combines expert insight and lived experience to empower women to move, train, and live with purpose and confidence. From the moment Jen and Emilee met, they knew collaboration was inevitable. Their shared passion for performance, training and supporting women through every phase of life led to hosting the first retreat in 2026 together. Building on the success of such a unique experience built for the female athlete, they invite you to be apart of the next one..

Whether you’re preparing for your 2027 race season, exploring new goals, taking on an endurance challenge or simply seeking renewal, this retreat offers the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to redefine what endurance means to you. This is an ideal experience for athletes looking to develop their run/hike potential in order to unlock new future goals and challenge themselves to see what is possible.

What to Expect

Your Home for the Week

Stay oceanfront at the Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa, where private accommodations (or shared) offer comfort and connection just steps from the sea. After big days on the trail, relax in the hydrotherapy pools, steam rooms, and tranquil spa spaces — the perfect environment to recover, reset, reflect and bond with like minded women.

On-Trail Training & Coaching

Spend four powerful days on the trails enhancing your technical skills and effort-based training through real-time coaching. Learn trail-specific techniques such as climbing, descending, pacing, using poles, foot care, gear selection, and managing efforts over varied terrain. A special night training session will help you build confidence and expand your comfort zone. Jen will also be sharing knowledge and building your skill set in trail navigation so that you feel confident to explore new terrain when the opportunity presents.

Carefully chosen trails and routes to train on have been selected. An ocean adventure to nearby trails adds a touch of exploration and wonder to your training journey, showcasing the true spirit of the island.

Nutrition & Recovery

Learn how to fuel for performance, recovery, and overall wellness with Emilee Wise, a holistic nutritionist, lifestyle coach, endurance athlete, and women’s health specialist. Emilee combines evidence-based nutrition with real-world athletic experience to help you understand how to nourish your body and mind for both training and daily life. Enjoy healthful, satisfying meals designed to support strength, vitality, and balance—and gain clarity on how to match your unique needs to your training, recovery, and overall rhythm of living well.

Relaxation and rejuvenation are woven throughout the experience, allowing time for you to indulge in a massage or treatment at the renowned Kingfisher Spa.

Hormone Health & Education

Gain deeper insight into understanding hormones, perimenopause, and menopause, and how to train with your physiology — not against it. You will learn cutting-edge knowledge from female experts leading females, equipping you to thrive in every phase of life. Hands on sessions include strength training and pelvic floor work, two very important areas of focus for female athletes.

Reflection & Connection

Each day includes guided reflections, goal setting, and fireside chats, creating space to connect with other like-minded women navigating the same stage of life. Together, we’ll explore what endurance, balance, and fulfillment mean now — and how to carry those lessons forward into sport and life.

Island Flavors & Local Experience

Savor the best of Vancouver Island’s local cuisine with hand-selected restaurant experiences in the Comox Valley. Enjoy fresh, coastal-inspired dishes that celebrate nourishment, community, and the joy of food. Get to know this gorgeous Island off the West Coast of British Columbia….we promise a very unique week of training, learning and exploring to be had!

Who Is the Rebuild Retreat For?

– Curious women who show up with an open mind and a “YES” mentality.
– Beginner to intermediate female endurance athletes who are eager to learn, grow, and soak up knowledge.
– Those who can comfortably be on their feet and moving for 3–4 hours at a time—speed is not the focus. Each days training focus will vary as will the time and duration. We promise adequate recovery time built in as this is how fitness truly develops.
– Athletes who currently use a run/walk/hike strategy
– Anyone excited to tackle daily sessions that vary in terrain, inclines, flats, and duration. We have purposely designed this retreat to expose you to a wide range of environments so you learn through a hands experience.

If you’re unsure whether this retreat is the right fit for your current fitness, please reach out to Jen or Emilee—they are happy to chat about where you’re at and what you need. This retreat is intentionally set in the early Spring as a pre-season prep camp making it the perfect time to reset, refocus, and ramp up. Use this week to fully lean into everything we’ve planned and give your fitness a serious, confidence-boosting jumpstart.
