Go With The Flow

Flo, short for Florence, is the visionary owner and founder of Refined Flow Retreats, a wellness brand dedicated to helping people transform their lives through travel, mindfulness, and self-care. A wellness, fitness, and travel enthusiast, Flo’s journey to this calling began with her own transformation. After 15 years in the corporate world, she found herself craving a life more aligned with her passions. The COVID pandemic served as a turning point, inspiring her to leave the corporate grind and fully commit to her love for health and wellness.


With over a decade of experience as a certified yoga, Pilates, and meditation instructor, Flo has dedicated herself to guiding people toward inner peace, self-awareness, and physical well-being. Her love for solo travel—having visited over 20 countries across five continents—also shaped her path. She recognized how stepping into new environments can unlock growth and clarity, both mentally and physically. This realization became the foundation for Refined Flow Retreats, launched in 2018.


Refined Flow Retreats combines the transformative power of travel with mindful practices. Flo has hosted retreats in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations, including Bali, Tulum, the Caribbean, and various U.S. destinations. Each retreat offers participants a chance to step away from their daily routines and immerse themselves in a space of growth, reflection, and connection. One particularly unforgettable moment was at a waterfall in Bali—a dream destination for Flo. Surrounded by nature’s beauty and the shared joy of participants, Flo felt a profound sense of fulfillment, knowing she had helped create such a powerful experience.




Flo’s work is rooted in her mission to empower people to reconnect with themselves, explore new aspects of their potential, and return home as stronger, more centered individuals. She draws inspiration from those she meets along the way, especially vibrant individuals in their 70s and 80s who embody health, vitality, and a lifelong commitment to wellness. Their stories fuel her dedication to not only help others thrive but to show up for her future self with the same level of care.


Beyond retreats, Flo collaborates with leaders in the wellness space. She has worked with figures such as Shawn Burns, a lululemon ambassador, ReadySetFlow, a trailblazing yoga instructor, and KimsGlowupDiary, founder of Brown Girls Meditate. Each partnership reflects her commitment to fostering inclusivity and building community in the wellness world.


Flo is also a Thorne ambassador, promoting high-quality supplements that support optimal health. She believes that wellness extends beyond mindful movement and stress management to include proper nutrition, and her partnership with Thorne allows her to offer clients tools to achieve holistic well-being.


Looking ahead, Flo plans to expand her reach by launching a wellness-focused YouTube channel, where she’ll share insights on fitness, mindfulness, and self-care. This new platform will provide another way for her to inspire and empower others on their wellness journeys.


Flo’s story is a testament to the power of courage, transformation, and following one’s passions. You can follow her journey and stay updated on her retreats and wellness tips on Instagram and Facebook at RefinedFlow. Through Refined Flow Retreats, Flo continues to create life-changing experiences, helping people refine not only their physical health but their inner selves as well.
