Pamela Chaine spent twenty years in event and project management before she built Leyana, which was perfect preparation for the world of retreats. Event planning, bringing the right people into the right room, staying calm when plans change – what typically stresses most people out about organizing a retreat is where Pamela thrives.

Raised between cultures, fluent in four languages and settled in France for over fifteen years, she's the bridge between international instructors and a country that can otherwise feel difficult to navigate from abroad.
The idea for Leyana started with her own first wellness retreat, a birthday gift from the people closest to her. It gave Pamela something she hadn't given herself in years: the space to hear her own thoughts, and the reminder that she had something real to offer beyond her daily routine. That's the same thing she now builds for every instructor and every participant who works with Leyana. 

In Arabic, Leyana means for me. It's a mindset as much as a name: choosing yourself, and giving yourself permission to finally do the thing you've been imagining.
