We're Talking About The Freedom To Live Life On Your Own Terms.
The question was never if you could do it…but how.
When you become an OMNoire Certified Retreat Leader, you will experience a world like never before, the freedom to cultivate life on your OWN terms, and expand what's possible for you.
You are over-ready to curate a retreat that is as impactful as it is affirming that there is something inside of you destined to be greater and leave an indelible mark on the people you touch.
It’s time to answer the call.
The Freedom To Travel The World Making Both An Impact And A Profit
It All Starts With Our 4 Pillars of Success
Education

Build A Life You Don't Need To Escape From
Because it's time to put an end to:
√
Putting your idea for adding retreats to your existing business and creating an additional revenue stream on the shelf because you don't know where to start.
√
Ignoring that calling to share your story and bring people together for a retreat centered around healing, transformation, new connections, new experiences and new adventures.
√
Introducing people to secret hideaways and unique experiences without being compensated for all your knowledge, and time and effort you've put in to be the go-to travel expert.
INSTEAD LET'S BRING A NEW MEANING TO
"WORK FROM ANYWHERE"
- Our carefully guided approach opens up the business side of the retreat business. We’ll show you how to build a profitable business from Day 1 and make a living out of exploring the world with your tribe.
- A quaint apartment in Milan? A coffee shop in Singapore? On the beach in Turks & Caicos? You get to build this next chapter around your vision, whatever that might look like. We are here to provide you with the tools to bring that vision to life.
- Live in absolute abundance with a full-time wellness travel business or side hustle that provides unlimited earning potential where counting vacation days is a thing of the past.

"Joining the Retreats Academy has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve made. The thought, intention, and preparation that has gone into the Academy and ultimately our success as retreat leaders was evident from Day 1. I felt supported from the start and to experience my first retreat has been a great sense of accomplishment. I thought the Retreats Academy was about me planning a retreat, but it has been so much more. I have challenged my beliefs, mindset, and gained clarity about who I am and the life and legacy I want to live. I’m honored to be a part of the first cohort of amazing retreat leaders and am excited to watch this community grow and evolve."

Meet your instructor
Hi, I'm Christina
Serial Entrepreneur, Certified Yoga Instructor, Certified Padi Scuba Diver, Wanderluster, Dream Chaser
I am here for you - the you that is ready to live in their purpose and expand their reach and potential.
And YES, make a profit while doing so.
If you are a change-maker, a leader, and a visionary and you feel called to more, this is the place for you.
In 2016, I launched OMNoire to be a vessel for Black women to live well from the inside out. We created a space to highlight leaders in wellness but knew we had to include immersive luxury travel experiences for our entire community so they could experience the magic of OMNoire in real life.
Since our first retreat in 2017, I have hosted retreats in Bali, Barbados, Ghana, Portugal, Brazil, Arizona, Grenada, and more.
Yet, I knew in order to best serve the healing and wellness needs of our global community, we needed to expand our retreat offerings.
Summer 2021 I launched the Academy to coach leaders such as yourself everything I know on building a highly profitable wellness & travel business.
With my guidance, you can put your own stamp on hosting transformative and profitable retreats while traveling to bucket list destinations around the world.
But it wasn't always this way...
I took home $5,000 from the first OMNoire Retreat in 2017 and $20,000 from the second, 7 months later.
I learned a lot from that first retreat where I hosted 53 women from around the world, and now I am giving you all my signature practices and proven strategies, and guiding you from beginning to end on how to be profitable so that you too can build your own successful retreats business.
We're the only retreats company out here that's showing you how we do, what we do best beyond just purchasing a course.

"After dreaming of hosting a retreat for years, I took it as a sign from the universe when I saw Christina’s post about the academy. Now I am so excited to host my first retreat in Colombia. I feel much more prepared and empowered since learning from Christina and the rest of the OMRA team. I’m so thankful for this experience and all the lessons learned."

A Life That Works For You
Meet Our Avatars
Are You A Sonya?
A serial entrepreneur and wellness guru by trade, Sonya is living the dream but ready to change up how she does things.
She sees clients weekly in her coaching business but is ready to create a new experience by taking them on trips around the world to grow further in their businesses.
Once she graduates the Retreats Academy, Sonya wants to be all in. She plans to sell her condo and host 5-6 retreats a year while expanding her business around the world.
She’s ready to get grounded but never on the ground.
Are You An Iman?
Iman worked her entire life to become a lawyer. She’s at the top of her field and loves what she does but she’s ready to tell the story of her life and all she’s accomplished in a new way.
For years, she’s dreamed of bringing a group of women together for a luxury getaway to talk about resilience, spirituality, and finding balance. She believes that life should be spent living out loud (not watching others do it on social media).
After the Academy, Iman is going to keep her day job but host rereats 1-2 times a year as a way to bring together her passions, gifts, craving for meaningful relationships and mile-long bucket list. To Iman, this is work/life balance at its finest.

“When I looked around at this open market, and the dollars that are circulating in the luxury retreat industry, I didn’t see anyone like me doing this.
I was a Black Woman who enjoyed planning luxurious vacations for myself and others so I pivoted from a burnout career to a purposeful life. I knew I could help others achieve the same through travel, community, and wellness.
I decided to be the answer. I lift as I climb and so will you.”
- Christina, OMNoire Founder & Master Instructor
A Message From OMNoire Retreat Leader Dr. Gilberte 'Gigi' Bastien
"When I read the email about the launch of the OMNoire's Retreat Academy, it was like receiving the piece of a missing puzzle for me. Having completed a certification in Meditation Facilitation and Life Coaching, I felt something was missing from how I wanted my business to look. I've learned so much from Christina and am incredibly grateful for her knowledge, time and patience as I navigate this new venture. Now, I am gearing up to host my 2nd retreat since graduating the Academy. This is something I never dreamt I’d be doing, yet here I am! This is just the beginning!"
