Inner Nest: Luxury Wellness Retreats for a New Era of Leadership

Business Plan:
Inner Nest generates revenue through premium, high-margin retreats priced at $8,000–$12,000 per guest. Each 3–5 day experience hosts only five guests at a time, creating ultra-exclusive intimacy, personalization, and high yield.

Our initial site in Glastonbury will run 6–10 retreats per quarter, scaling revenue to $840K in Year 1. Year 2 introduces a second property, projecting $1.8M. By Year 3, with 3+ retreat sites and a growing digital platform, we forecast $3.2M+ in annual revenue.

Upsells include diagnostics, integration support, coaching, and supplements. The Institute of Energetics—a digital membership and healer marketplace—is already in MVP phase, providing scalable backend growth and brand extension.

Investor fit: aligned with wellness, hospitality, and digital health backers who recognize the unmet demand for deeply transformative, science-integrated retreat experiences.

Team:
Luke Kohen, Co-Founder
A globally recognized trauma expert, speaker, and artist-activist. With 100k followers and 1M+ monthly reach, Luke has spent over a decade advising communities and movements focused on conscious leadership and regenerative living. He leads the brand, vision, and influencer partnerships.

Dr. Greg Lazelle, Co-Founder
A chiropractor and functional medicine expert specializing in nervous system optimization, sensory integration, and trauma recovery. Dr. Lazelle leads clinical programming and spearheads research in advanced healing modalities, including dark room technology and biohacking.

Backed by a deep advisory bench spanning capital markets, wellness, and digital media.

Competitive Advantage:
Most luxury retreats lean too far into wellness-as-vacation—Inner Nest is a breakthrough experience.

We blend lineage-based healing with science-backed protocols, offering dark room therapy, cryotherapy, somatic work, and biohacking in settings so exclusive, only five guests are admitted per retreat.

The result? High retention, premium pricing, low staffing needs, and massive LTV potential.

With LOIs secured for our first estate and strategic partnerships with Unify.org, HighVibe Network, and MAPS, Inner Nest is uniquely positioned as the only luxury-tier retreat brand offering both deep trauma-informed care and a clinical-scientific edge.

Why Now:
The wellness tourism industry is exploding, expected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2027. Within it, luxury retreats are growing at 7.5% CAGR.

But demand is evolving: today’s leaders are burned out. They’re not looking for yoga and smoothies—they want nervous system repair, somatic transformation, and clinically validated healing. Inner Nest is one of the first offerings to meet that demand at the highest tier.

Meanwhile, influencer-led awareness, digital content monetization, and repeat bookings create scalable upside—on and off property.

Now is the moment to capture the shift toward immersive, transformational wellness.
