Itutu Self-care Retreats, in collaboration with the Divine Pause®, are thrilled to introduce our exclusive liberatory self-care and healing retreats, meticulously designed by Black women with Black women in mind. Set against the backdrop of stunning global destinations, each retreat promises a transformative journey aimed at renewal, healing, and self-liberation. These retreats are a sanctuary for you to renew and mend your spirit, and ignite a deeper connection with yourself.
As one of the most lush escapes in the Windward Islands, St. Lucia is truly an untouched escape where adventurous explorers and wellness enthusiasts alike can discover a deeper connection. Though its remote location is exactly what makes it so intriguing, seasonal travel schedules can make retreats here a reality.
Prepare to evolve and embrace the most authentic version of yourself like never before. And we promise, not to overload you with a big itinerary. No, we’ve curated this space for self-renewal and liberation, because you deserve it.
Join us for a 5-day, 4-night escape at a breathtaking wellness resort.





Beyond the beauty of your private retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to indulge in wellness experiences designed to nourish your spirit.
Hey Sis! I'm Kia!
Sis, I want you to know something—workplace racial trauma almost broke me. It drained me, made me question my worth, and kept me in spaces that didn’t honor me. But one day, I woke up and realized I DESERVED better.
For 25 years, I’ve been a frontline nonprofit fundraiser and DEI consultant, fighting for equity and justice while navigating systems never built for us. Like so many of us, I spent years pouring into work, struggling to find balance, and just surviving. But God!
Now, as an empty nester, I’m embracing my liberatory awakening—thriving instead of just existing. I’m prioritizing joy, radical rest, and self-care, living life on my terms.
Today, alongside my fundraising work, I’m also a traveling folk herbalist and owner of Itutu Apothecary & Tea Room, where I help others reclaim self-care through the healing power of plant medicine. My journey has taken me across the world, learning from indigenous healers and deepening my understanding of ethnobotany and traditional herbal wisdom.
Sis, if any of this resonates with you, just know—you are not alone. Your liberation is waiting too.
Can’t wait to meet you.
Love, Kia 💜
Hey Sis! I'm Naheemah!
First and foremost I want you to know that I see you because I am you. Having walked the path of burnout myself, I intimately understand the juggle faced by busy, burnt-out black and brown women leaders. I know what it feels like to go from one demanding job to your second, walking in the door of your home hearing the Mommy I need plea’s and mustering the strength to pour out when your cup is utterly depleted.
To be honest for too many years I didn’t even know I was burnt out because generational burnout and being in survival mode was what I saw. learned and knew. Until, I gave myself full permission to take a Divine Pause® and learned to love myself best, nurture my nervous system, prioritize my self-care and health, and commit to setting and keeping my boundaries in work + life – and accept my divine truth that rest is my birthright and so is thriving. This is your truth too, and as my sister’s keeper, this is the essence of what we hold safe soft space for through our liberatory coaching, masterminds, and self-care retreats.
At Divine Pause®, we’re not just a consultancy or movement — we’re a sanctuary, dedicated to redefining generational well-being for leaders and workplaces alike.
Sis, you do not have to self-care nor unlearn what so many of us were taught to stay bound alone. We got you!
That’s why our mission is crystal clear: by 2025, we’re committed to reaching and positively impacting 1000 Black and Brown Women, offering them the lifeline they desperately deserve to combat stress and generation burnout for good from the inside out.
Rooting your you and your liberation,
Naheemah 💜

Sleep is not a luxury, It's a necessity. I will prioritize getting enough sleep to be my absolute best.
I am extraordinary, but not superhuman. I give myself permission to put down the metaphorical cape and embrace rest, relaxation, and letting go.
