Inspired by
The Year of the Horse
The Year of the Horse is a symbol of strength, freedom, and forward movement—an invitation to embrace momentum while staying grounded. As this new year begins, our Winter Wellness Weekend offers a thoughtful way to align with that energy through mindful movement, restorative practices, and time immersed in nature, creating space to reset and begin again with intention.
Meet the Event Host
Sherrie Matthews has long been a name whispered among the people seeking the latest and greatest innovations in beauty. She is a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist who has received her Master’s Degree from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California, and completed internships at both the ECTOM clinic there and Arthur Ashe Medical Center at UCLA.
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. Sherrie decided that it was time to merge her passion of traveling to exotic countries with her healing talents and decided to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine.
