The Wellaway moms retreat was the perfect mix of relaxation, exercise, and socializing in an incredibly beautiful setting. Every single detail was so well thought out. Between the exercise classes, fresh pressed juice, fireside chats, and evening relaxation yoga, I left feeling rejuvenated and energized. Most importantly, I met other moms who I will keep in touch with and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The WellAway moms retreat was everything I imagined it would be plus more. I was so impressed with Maria and Carly’s vision and how they executed it. The food was excellent, the setting was beautiful, the classes were very beneficial but the bonding with other moms was the best part. As a busy mom with two young kids, this was one of the best things I have ever done for myself and I highly recommend anyone who is considering it to go for it!

This was the first time since giving birth that I took time just for me and I didn’t realize how much I truly needed it! Carly and Maria planned the perfect itinerary – the thought & consideration they took to curate the workshops, fitness instructors, health professionals, and private chef is beyond incredible. The best part of it all was meeting the other amazing moms – sharing, learning and being able to be honest & vulnerable was healing, motivating and inspiring!

A perfectly curated experience that intrigued all the senses. The focus of holistic wellness resonated through the entire retreat. From nourishing yet satisfying and filling meals, body awareness through specialized Pilates classes, complimented with fresh pressed juices to workshops that humanized and taught techniques to reduce the stresses of being a mom and partner. Maria and Carly were warm and passionate to provide a positive experience to all. They delivered on the aspects of life that moms most need. It was a beautiful location with plenty of free time to unwind, socialize and be at peace. Please sign me up again! Every mom should be pampered and cared for as WellAway Retreats provided.

Women on a mission to create inclusive spaces for women to prioritize themselves: Meet Carly & maria.
WellAway was founded in 2022 by California natives and sister-in-laws Carly and Maria Baum, who share a deep passion for travel, motherhood, and wellness.
After becoming mothers, both Carly and Maria chose to leave their corporate careers behind to pursue work that felt more meaningful and aligned with their values. Their shared vision: to create space for women to rest, reconnect, and rediscover themselves through intentional, health-conscious experiences.
Maria is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBHWC) and a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, bringing expertise in holistic health and mindful living. Carly is a birth and postpartum doula, supporting women through life’s transitions with compassion and care.
Over the past three years, they have hosted dozens of women’s wellness retreats across the Bay Area—sending each cohort home with renewed energy, a sense of community, and practical tools to integrate wellness into everyday life.
