Breathe, Reset, and Become
Your wellness journey begins here. Reserve your day retreat today.
Located in Snohomish, WA.
Day retreat, just for you.
Soom—meaning “breath” in Korean—is an extension of our vision: a day retreat designed to nurture emotional balance through tactile, sensory-rich experiences.
Some examples of our experiences:
• Mindfulness yoga to reconnect body and breath
• Trauma-focused mindfulness practices such as sound baths and guided somatic exercises
• Aromatherapy to awaken calm and sensory presence
• Tea ceremonies that honor ritual, heritage, and quiet reflection
• Group therapy circles for shared healing and connection
• Quiet alone time in serene, thoughtfully designed spaces
Rooted in holistic wellness and cultural resonance, Soom invites guests to pause, breathe, and return to themselves. Whether in the therapy room or the retreat garden, Hye Young’s work is guided by a deep belief: healing begins when we feel seen, safe, and supported.
