Founder of Time Out Retreat,Tamara Lelie, understands that TIME is limited and extremely valuable. Thus, Time Out Retreat was designed as a one stop source for people to get away from the stresses of modern day life and learn the tools necessary for individuals to become empowered and take charge of their own well being as well as have a strong foundation to manifest the life they were meant to create. In 2007, Time Out Retreat was born as a vision of Tamara Lelie and her mother Beatrice Lelie as a one stop source for people to gain tools to achieve balance and peace in life. The first one took place near Malibu, CA and Tamara organized it as a fundraiser for Beatrice’s alternative cancer treatments. Although Beatrice lost her fight to breast and stomcah cancer in January 2008, her legacy lives on as Time Out Retreat has gained national media attention and attracted partners such as the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing, the Boys and Girls Club of Marin and Southern Sonoma Counties and TV/Film actress Kristin Kreuk's company, Girls By Design.

Certified as a Kundalini/Hatha Yoga instructor and professional relationship coach (trained by renowned relationship expert Dr. Ava Cadell), Tamara's intuitive understanding of factors that either deplete or replenish energy has helped over 260 individuals shift their energy levels (in less than an hour) in order to attract the love and the career they authentically desire. She specializes in applying the ancient wisdom of the yogis to every day modern problems and has clients ranging from celebrities and business professionals to teens and housewives. Every client has moved on to achieve their goals and access radical change. Tamara Lelie now combines her training in the fields of “balance” and passion to help others and conducts Time Out Retreats by herself in addition to offering private consultations where she comes to your home or office to give you the tools to access your intuition and connect the body to the mind in order to have a more holistic experience in life. She does this with a toolkit ranging from intuition, yoga poses, kundalini sets, meditations, mantras, guided imagery (to release limiting beliefs) and more.
