Meet DEANN ROCHELLE...
Local Expertise. Global Experience.
Hi, I'm DeAnn Rochelle, founder of Retreats Santa Barbara. For more than 20 years, I've helped people discover exceptional homes and extraordinary places throughout Santa Barbara and Montecito. Along the way, I realized my true passion wasn't simply finding beautiful properties—it was creating meaningful experiences that bring people together in inspiring settings. My journey has taken me around the world. I've participated in more than 100 retreats across the globe, maintained a daily meditation practice for over 25 years, and explored a wide range of mindfulness, yoga, and spiritual traditions. These experiences have shaped my understanding of what makes a retreat truly transformative.
Professionally, I've managed international trade shows, worked at the renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur, helped open Yoga Soup in Santa Barbara, and organized retreats and events for groups of all sizes. Combined with more than two decades of luxury real estate and property management experience, I bring a unique ability to discover exceptional venues and thoughtfully curate every detail of the retreat experience. My love of travel has inspired me to expand beyond Santa Barbara. In addition to hosting retreats throughout California, I'm excited to lead international wellness retreats to some of the world's most inspiring destinations, beginning with Italy. Each journey is carefully designed to blend wellness, meaningful cultural experiences, authentic local connections, and time to slow down, reconnect, and return home renewed.
Whether you're joining us for a day retreat in Santa Barbara or traveling across the world, my goal is simple: to create beautiful spaces where people can rest, grow, connect, and experience lasting transformation. Welcome to Retreats Santa Barbara!
Retreat leaders choose me because I combine local knowledge, global event experience, and a strong work ethic—delivering seamless retreats that inspire and flow with ease.
