About us

Radiant & Restored (R.R) health and wellness retreats were started by Jess Grob and Sarah Abel in 2023. Jess asked Sarah after church one day if she knew of any good health and wellness treats to recommend. And Sarah answered honestly but not very helpfully “Not really…”

Truth is, there are plenty of health and wellness retreats out there, but extremely few that are rooted in the Designer of health itself, the Creator of our bodies, and the Giver of rest.

So we asked the question, why not start a women’s wellness retreat that feeds both body and Christ-filled spirit? And, you guessed it, R.R was born.

FAQ
