Our Retreat Facilitators

The Souls Guiding Your Journey

At JAX, our facilitators and support team are not just staff—they’re deeply committed practitioners and space holders who understand the courage it takes to show up for real healing.

Many have been with us since day one, shaping JAX into what it is: a space that can hold intensity, tenderness, grief, joy, and everything in between. From our trauma-informed facilitators to our soulful chefs and dedicated retreat managers, each person plays a key role in creating the safety, structure, and care needed for deep emotional and nervous system healing to unfold.

We’re not here to offer surface-level wellness. We’re here to meet people where they are and walk beside them through the work—whether it’s trauma release, somatic unwinding, grief integration, or energy recalibration.

This is a team who gets it, because we’ve lived it.
