Kellie Sabas believes that wellness is more than just a personal journey—it’s a collective movement that transforms individuals, workplaces, and entire communities. As the Founder and CEO of Happy M.E. (Marketing and Events) LLC, Kellie has dedicated herself to curating transformational wellness retreats that blend professional expertise with holistic well-being.
From virtual retreats launched during the pandemic to in-person retreats in San Diego, Bali, and Greece, Kellie’s work connects women with expert-led experiences that nourish the body, mind, and soul.
From Passion Project to Global Wellness Movement
Kellie’s journey into wellness retreats was sparked by a realization—she could harmonize her branding, marketing, and event expertise with her passion for well-being.
“The lightbulb moment came when I saw how seamlessly my professional skills aligned with my wellness journey,” she shares. “I launched my first virtual retreat, REVIVE, during the pandemic, expecting just three speakers. By the end, we had seven experts sharing insights, and it turned into a week of learning, inspiration, and transformation. That experience solidified my passion for curating retreats that truly make an impact.”
Today, Happy M.E. collaborates with a diverse network of wellness professionals—including doctors, coaches, therapists, healers, teachers, best-selling authors, and TEDx speakers—to design life-changing retreats for individuals and corporate teams.
Kellie’s mission is to curate more wellness experiences that create positive ripple effects in homes, communities and workplaces, one event at a time. Aside from the wellness retreats and local events, she’s also launching Wellness@Work Summit in San Diego with plans to host this summit in key cities in the US and Asia.
The Reward of Transforming Lives Through Wellness
For Kellie, the most challenging part of her work is finding the right people within organizations who can advocate for wellness initiatives.
However, the most rewarding moments come when she connects with a leader who believes in the power of well-being and helps bring wellness into workplace culture.
“I love seeing women prioritize their well-being during our retreats, collaborate with inspiring wellness experts, and create lasting transformations in their personal and professional lives,” she says. “Working with my dream clients and partners is something I’m incredibly grateful for.”
Kellie’s Advice for Women: Find Your People, Prioritize Your Wellness
“For all the women reading this, my advice is simple: Never stop learning and pursuing your passion. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with people who will support your journey—whether it’s a mentor, a coach, a colleague, or a community like IAW.
Your tribe will lift you up, cheer you on, and guide you toward success.”
Kellie also emphasizes the importance of self-care in leadership and entrepreneurship.
“Nourish every aspect of yourself—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When you prioritize your own wellness, you show up stronger for your family, your career, and your community.”
Expanding the Wellness Movement: The Future of Happy M.E.
Looking ahead, Kellie envisions HappyME.yoga becoming the go-to platform for wellness retreats worldwide—a space where vacation meets transformation.
Her future goals include:
✅ Leading more corporate and wellness retreats to promote well-being in the workplace.
✅ Helping coaches and leaders design their own retreats through her new program, Retreat Planning Mastery™.
✅ Growing a global community of empowered women dedicated to holistic health and happiness.
“My ‘WHY’ is guiding women toward a state of holistic well-being—and I’m beyond excited for the positive ripple effects this work will create.”
IAW: A Community of Empowerment & Support
Kellie describes IAW as more than just a network—it’s a movement of women supporting women.
“I found my people here,” she says. “IAW is an incredible resource for leadership, empowerment, and community. If you’re new here, stick around—it’s a fun and rewarding journey!”
