FAQ

Booking & Payments

Q: How do I lock in my spot?
A: Easy! Sign your agreement, drop your $500 deposit, and boom — you’re in.

Q: Do you do payment plans?
A: Yep. We want this to feel stress-free, so we’ll set up a plan that works for you.

Q: What if I have to cancel?
A: Payments are returnable up to 30 days from purchase. After that, everything is non-refundable. The $500 deposit is always non-refundable.

 

Travel & Logistics

Q: Are flights included?
A: Nope — you’ll book your own flight to Kahului Airport (OGG). That way, you can choose the timing, airline, and vibe that work best for you.

Q: How do I get from the airport to the villa?
A: We’ll have group shuttles during set arrival/departure times. If you come outside that window, you’ll grab your own ride.

Q: Do I need a passport?
A: Not if you’re coming from the U.S.! If you’re international, yes — make sure it’s valid at least 6 months past the trip.

Q: What do I pack?
A: Think breezy dresses, swimsuits, comfy sandals, and anything that makes you feel like your most radiant self. We’ll send a full packing guide closer to the date so you’re stress-free.

 

Accommodations & Meals

Q: What’s the villa like?
A: Dreamy. It’s a private Hawaiian bed & breakfast tucked in Makawao, complete with a pool, hot tub, and lush gardens. Shared rooms unless you upgrade to a private suite.

Q: Are meals included?
A: Yes, and they’re incredible. Chef Hilary Barsby (our retreat goddess in the kitchen) makes everything with fresh, local ingredients.

Q: I have dietary restrictions — can you handle that?
A: 100%! Just let us know ahead of time so Chef Hilary can create magic that works for you.

 

Retreat Experience

Q: Do I have to do everything on the schedule?
A: Nope. This is YOUR retreat. Join every session, or curl up by the pool with a book. No guilt, no pressure.

Q: What if I’ve never done boudoir before?
A: Perfect — that’s most of our clients! We’ll guide you through every pose and create a safe space for you to shine.

Q: Is hair and makeup included?
A: Professional hair and makeup for your solo boudoir shoot will be available as an add-on. 

Q: Do I get photos included?
A: The group shoot is included, but the digitals from your shoot and your influencer/adventure shots are separate unless you grab the Take Your Trip Home package — that way you get everything.

 

Health & Safety

Q: Do I really need travel insurance?
A: Yes babe, you do. It protects your trip and gives you peace of mind in case of life’s little curveballs.

Q: What if I have a medical condition or injury?
A: Tell us in advance so we can support you. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and included.

Q: How many women will be there?
A: We keep it super intimate — around 15 women max. Including your facilitators, It’s the perfect size for sisterhood without feeling overwhelming.

 

Other Fun Stuff

Q: Can I bring a friend?
A: YES! And if you do, you both save $250. Win-win.

Q: What’s not included?
A: Flights, personal shopping, and little extras like souvenirs or gratuities.

Q: Will I actually have free time?
A: Oh yes. We built it right into the schedule so you can nap, read, swim, or sneak away to explore Makawao.
