Alisal Signature Experiences

Wellness Weekend

Restore & Renew

September 13-15, 2024

Wellness Weekend at Alisal Ranch promises an immersive experience blending the serene backdrop of the ranch’s natural beauty with a curated selection of classes and events designed to invigorate and refresh attendees. Wellness Weekend begins Friday, September 13th through Sunday, September 15th.

Each day will begin with revitalizing yoga sessions, included in the nightly rate. Guests can stretch and center themselves amidst the tranquil surroundings, setting the tone for a day of wellness and rejuvenation. As part of the weekend’s itinerary, participants will have the opportunity to partake in a sound bath, a deeply immersive experience known for its therapeutic effects on the mind and body with optional acupuncture. Additionally, there’s an ear seeds class led by Sherrie Matthews, providing insights into this holistic practice aimed at promoting wellness through acupressure. Sip and unwind Saturday afternoon with a Jenni Kayne pop up shopping experience. They will be featuring some of their classics as well as the Oak Essentials line. We’ll end the day with a guided sunset hike amongst the rolling hills and natural beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley.

A highlight of the weekend is the chance to experience Sherrie Matthews’ renowned acupuncture facials, available separately for those seeking an extra layer of relaxation and rejuvenation. This personalized treatment offers a unique fusion of traditional acupuncture techniques with modern skincare, promising to leave guests feeling refreshed and radiant. During the facial treatments, we’re excited to offer a restorative Sound Bath experience. Join Jasmine Hanson as she guides you through a soothing sound healing session designed to promote deep relaxation, inner peace, and enhanced emotional well-being.

To customize treatments for the optimal health and well-being of her clients, she utilizes various techniques and modalities, including acupuncture, cupping, electro-stem, moxibustion and ear seeds in combination with healing stones and essential oils.

Sherrie previously worked as a successful stylist for national fashion and celebrity magazines over the last decade. After years of making people look great on the outside, she became more interested in making people feel great on the inside.
