I have been following Michelle on OneFit Widow on Facebook since my husband Herb died in February, 2019. I read her stories, listened to her perspective, and just knew she was real. Real in her grief journey, parenting, and fitness goals. Michelle inspires me to start over everyday. Going on a trip with More Adventures has been a dream. Last spring I saw the option for San Diego and excitedly booked it. I wasn't working at the time and had some extra money. Closer to the time of the trip I had started a new job and was concerned taking the trip wasn't the right time. I thought about it and decided I couldn't give up this opportunity to meet Michelle and take care of myself in this way. I don't regret a single moment of this experience! I am warmed in my soul by each and every woman on this journey. We were instantly connected sharing laughter, tears, joy, and pain. The food by Chef Eileen Elizabeth and her Sous Chef Felicia was absolutely delicious and inspiring. I am grateful for Michelle, Keith, Tiffani, and everyone else who worked to make San Diego such an amazing experience. I would recommend to anyone wanting to go on an adventure trip or immersion to travel with them. Go now! You will not regret it.

One of the best Wellness Adventure!!! I attended the SanDiego Immersion in April 2024 and was excited when they scheduled another for November 2024 There were different ladies at each The wonderful part is it had the same vibe…..a closeness you feel from the time you meet. Chef Eileen teaches you how to enjoy Vegan and eating healthy . The visits to the Wineries….walks along the ocean….massage….group talks..yoga… Sailing….Michelle is a beautiful lady who cares so much for her family and her calling….I highly recommend the Immersion trips …they are smaller and more personal..

I can not recommend an Immersion Retreat with More Adventures more! I have been following Michelle on social media for about 6 years and finally got enough nerve to sign up for the San Diego Immersion. I have never traveled solo in my life and did not know another soul that was attending and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. A few of us met up before going to the retreat location and there was just an instant connection. Upon arriving at the house and meeting everyone else, there was an indescribable sense of community and belonging. The self care (yoga, sound bath, TRE, massage, just to name a few) was absolutely amazing as well as the wealth of information Michelle shared; I can't even begin to list all the areas she has vast knowledge of that she shared with us. The attention to detail was also amazing; you just need to show up and everything is taken care of for you. The one thing, however, that I will forever be grateful for is the chance to meet the incredible ladies that also attended. We all shared many conversations, laughter, walks along the beach, delicious food and did I mention the laughs? What a healing time I had. And I know I have met new life long friends. If you are even remotely thinking about attending an Immersion, I highly, HIGHLY recommend going for it!

If you're considering an Immersion trip with More Adventures, and have hesitation about going, you are not alone. I felt that way when I was doing my research and had some fear about going out and joining a bunch of strangers for a first time trip to a location where I had never been. Let me say that FEAR of the unknown will keep you from growing. Personally, I booked my trip five months in advance and nearly cancelled twice, but if I had done that, my life would have stayed the same. I would have cheated myself out of moving forward and growing in my personal life. The Immersion experience introduced me to Michelle Steinke-Baumgard, a dynamic and inspiring lady with a wealth of knowledge to share about health and wellness. Her love for helping others improve their lives was obvious. There were eleven of us on this trip, learning and growing together. Michelle led us through daily opportunities to practice fitness, utilizing various styles of yoga and incorporated techniques to assist with releasing stress and tension. This was all new to me and to most of us. Michelle guided us through TRE exercises and Somatic Experiencing. These are strategies designed to assist you with release of tension and minimalization of invasive thoughts. All of these activities were optional. We were never made to feel uneasy if we chose not to participate. And the fun? We walked on Mission Beach while getting to know one another. There was free time each day to spend as desired. We had a gorgeous day sailing on Mission Bay, which was a bonus that was added to our itinerary just days before the trip. Additionally, we had a wonderful day visiting three vineyards/wineries, indulging in six tastings per location. At the final vineyard we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We stayed at a very nice AirBnB right within walking distance to the sand by Mission Bay. Three great meals per day were lovingly prepared by our Chef Eileen and her sister Karen. This was a wonderful introduction to vegan diet for me, and a learning experience that opened my mind to ways of adding plant protein to my daily habits. (Vegan chefs are not used at every Immersion, in case you're wondering). Did I mention, we each had a massage one day and a Sound Bath provided by a woman who practices various forms of yoga and healing techniques for the body and mind? I could really go on and on, as the time was worth sharing in every detail. Finally, the ladies I met were inspiring. We were of all different ages and stages of life and love and loss. We grew from just getting to hear each other's stories and learned to appreciate life from our varying vantage points. Should you go on an Immersion trip? Only YOU know how much you need it. I say yes...GO! Fear not. You will thrive.

The Sicily trip was fabulous. It exceeded all of my expectations. We stayed busy with so many great activities, we hiked, went on a bike ride to historic old cities, went wine and chocolate tasting and much more. The group of women that were on the trip were all so warm, friendly and lots of fun. I went by myself, and I felt very comfortable and safe the entire time. Thank you to Michele, Keith, Tiffany and the rest of their crew for putting together a trip full of beautiful and fun memories.
