Personalized wellness retreats at Corrales Grief Spa offer a singular experience. There is no template here, no schedule handed to you at check-in, and no prescribed sequence of sessions or recommended arc of healing.
Instead, there is a dedicated host and a conversation about what you need most for your own healing.
At Corrales Grief Spa at The Oasis in Corrales, New Mexico, every extended stay is built from scratch around the person who arrives. There is no imposed philosophy around what wellness should look like, or a packaged retreat experience designed for general consumption, but an experience tailored around you—your grief, your history, your energy on a given day, and what you are genuinely ready to receive.
This is what a luxury personalized wellness retreat means at Corrales Grief Spa. And it looks different every time.
What a Stay Can Include
One guest was woven into Kristy’s family and friend circle. She attended gatherings, shared meals, and found that the particular loneliness of grief, the feeling that follows you home and sits with you in the evenings, was met by being genuinely included. For her, the healing was as much social as it was ceremonial.
Another guest wanted something quieter and more private—space to move through their days at their own pace, to sit with the Bosque, to enter the Reflections Room when they felt ready and emerge into silence when they didn’t. The retreat shaped itself around that.
This is a function of the design.
A stay at The Oasis might include deep healing sessions, like Shamanic Angelic Reiki with Color and Sound, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, guided visual imagery, the MARI Card Test, expressive art, the Reflections Room, breathwork and yoga nidra, offered when the guest is ready and paced around their energy rather than a fixed timetable. It might include Kristy preparing nourishing food, fresh and thoughtfully made—dining that lands differently than a restaurant because someone who knows you made it.
It might include an afternoon at Ten Thousand Waves, the storied Japanese-inspired spa in the mountains outside Santa Fe, dinner at Los Poblanos, the historic inn and lavender farm on the North Valley of Albuquerque, where the food is grown on the property and the light in the evening is something else entirely, or a meal at Vinaigrette, Itzunami, or wherever the evening calls for. A food tour through Albuquerque’s richly layered culinary landscape. Concerts on the property. The simple pleasure of good company in a beautiful place.
And woven through all of it: the Bosque. The cottonwoods. The particular quality of New Mexico light. The soundscape of the river. The silence that this part of the world does better than almost anywhere.
The Tools You Take Home
A personalized wellness retreat at The Oasis is not only about what happens while you are here. It is about what you carry forward.
Guests leave with practical tools for navigating grief and complex emotions in daily life, such as breathing practices, grounding techniques, imagery exercises, and frameworks for understanding what their own nervous system is doing and why. The work done in a session becomes something they carry with them: a way of meeting themselves with more compassion when the hard moments arrive at home, which they do.
One of the things that distinguishes a stay at The Oasis from conventional wellness retreats is precisely this. The healing isn’t limited to a treatment room and left there when you check out. Kristy works with each guest to make the work genuinely theirs, and translatable to a Tuesday morning at home, accessible without the cottonwoods and the Bosque, available in the ordinary texture of a life still being rebuilt.
Who This Is For
The custom wellness retreat at The Oasis is for anyone navigating a season of life that deserves more than they’ve been able to give it so far. It is for the person in grief, whether that grief is named or still finding its shape, and the executive who has been running on empty long enough that they’ve forgotten what full feels like. It is designed for someone standing at a crossroads and needing space to hear themselves think, for the friend group that wants to gather with intention, and for the individual who simply knows they need something, even if they can’t yet say exactly what.
It is for anyone who wants a wellness experience built around who they actually are, and to feel seen in their particular needs.
The Oasis accommodates guests in two beautifully appointed private suites, the O’Waken Oasis and the Bosque Oasis, both rated 5.0 on Airbnb. Extended stays, custom retreat packages, and single-session days can all be arranged. Reach out to Kristy directly to begin the conversation about what your stay might look like.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a personalized wellness retreat at The Oasis include?
Every stay is different, shaped entirely by the individual’s needs, energy, and desires. It may include healing sessions such as Reiki, hypnotherapy, guided imagery, expressive art, and the Reflections Room; nourishing meals prepared by Kristy; excursions to local restaurants, spas, or cultural destinations; integration of social connection if that serves the guest; and practical tools to take home. No two retreats are the same.
How long is a typical stay?
Stays range from a single day to several weeks or longer. There is no minimum or maximum — Kristy will work with you to determine what makes sense for where you are and what you need.
Do I need to arrive with a clear sense of what I want from the retreat?
No. Many guests arrive knowing only that they need something. The first conversation with Kristy is part of the retreat itself — she will help you find what that something is.
Can I include activities outside the property?
Yes. Previous guests have enjoyed excursions to Ten Thousand Waves in Santa Fe, dinners at Los Poblanos, Itzunami, Vinaigrette, and other New Mexico destinations. The retreat can include as much or as little of the surrounding region as feels right.
How do I begin?
Reach out to Kristy directly to start the conversation. She will listen, ask a few questions, and help you begin to imagine what your stay might look like.
