Sante Mountain Retreat is more than a dream—it’s a heartfelt vision brought to life by our little family of five.

Hi, I’m Sandra Lopez Savard, the Founder of Sante Wellness Retreat. As a wife, mom, transformation & leadership coach, author and speaker, I live a full and rich life. But for years, I’ve longed to create a mountain sanctuary where weary souls can find rest and renewal, where spirit, heart, mind, and body are lovingly restored. Together, our little family has created that haven.

My husband, Andre, a retired physics and math teacher and a true mountain man passionate about clean, sustainable food, is building his dream organic, heirloom farm. He nurtures the soil so it can nurture the body. Ralph, my former husband and dear friend, brings his energy and expertise as a personal trainer, lifelong athlete and former potential Canucks Hockey Team member, designs indoor and outdoor fitness experiences that invigorate and deliver results.

Steve, a seasoned world traveller, infuses our retreat with a spirit of adventure and heartfelt hospitality, leading hikes and curating experiences that connect guests deeply with nature. Our son, Josiah, the manager and heart of our team, welcomes everyone with warmth and joy. A gifted event planner and natural connector, he ensures every guest feels seen, celebrated, and cared for.

Together, we invite you to step into our little piece of paradise—a sanctuary where nature heals, food nourishes, and genuine connection transforms. Come as you are, and leave renewed—body, mind, and soul.
