SteeleGrace · Founding partners

The company behind therapy-led retreats for women.

We take a model therapists already trust, the immersive healing intensive, distill it into four days for women, and wrap it in concierge-level hospitality. Founding investors, sponsors, and program partners are invited into the 2026–27 season.

For investors & sponsors

Three ways SteeleGrace earns.

SteeleGrace owns no real estate and practices no medicine. The asset is the production system: how a retreat is sourced, sold, and run to a luxury standard, again and again.

The model is proven. Onsite, the Tennessee therapeutic campus therapists refer to by name, runs six-day group intensives at $6,900. SteeleGrace is that trusted format distilled into four days, designed only for women, and wrapped in concierge-level hospitality.

The founder

“If you see a need and believe in it deeply enough, build the solution.”

Susanna Maples, Founder & Retreat Director

  • Founded The Baby Book Boutique: Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, and approximately 200 high-end boutiques
  • Hottest new children’s product of 2005, Javits Center, New York
  • Invited to the Golden Globes luxury gift suite
  • D.I.C.E. Award for Distinction, Innovation, and Creative Excellence
  • Digital media marketing career, presenting to C-suite executives at a venture-backed technology company

Most retreat leaders know how to teach. Few know how to produce a luxury experience.

Many exceptional practitioners dream of leading retreats but become overwhelmed by the logistics of planning, marketing, hospitality, guest communication, vendor coordination, photography, transportation, and countless operational details. Their energy is divided between running the retreat and managing the retreat.

The model

Our role is not to replace the therapist.

Our role is to remove every obstacle that keeps the therapist from doing their best work. The partner’s program and framework, held in a setting that does half the work for them.

Partners lead

Clinicians, practices, coaches

  • The program and the clinical work
  • EMDR-informed and somatic sessions
  • Their community and the people they serve

We produce

SteeleGrace

  • Venue, design, and hospitality
  • Registration, chef, transport
  • On-site operations, start to finish
  • Photography, gifts, and every guest detail

Brands sponsor

Sponsors and creators

  • Inside the experience, not on a banner
  • The welcome, the evening, the ritual
  • Moments she chooses to share

Most retreat companies focus on locations. Most therapists focus on content. SteeleGrace focuses on both, combining luxury hospitality, intentional design, operational excellence, and exceptional program leaders.

For brands

Inside the experience, not on a banner.

A SteeleGrace guest is the woman your brand wants to reach: 35 to 65, household income above $150K, and spending on growth, not just travel. We build sponsors into the moments she’ll talk about afterward.

The welcome

The first pour, the first gift, the note on the pillow. A brand that belongs here is part of how she’s received.

The evening

Fire lit, table set, the night’s long conversation. A hosted evening she’ll remember, with your name on it.

The ritual

The morning walk, the journal, the thing she takes home. Products and practices she’ll keep using.

    A direct line

    You work with the founder, not a coordinator, from the first call through the last guest’s goodbye.

For clinicians & practices

You’ve built an audience that trusts you. Now give them an experience that changes them.

You lead the program, whether that’s EMDR-informed work, somatic sessions, equine therapy, or your own framework. We produce the retreat around it, handle every guest detail, and share the revenue. We protect your reputation as if it were ours. Every program partner should feel supported, protected, and free to do their best work.

Wait, and the retreat you’ve imagined stays a someday. Or it happens, and you spend it managing logistics instead of doing the work.
