About the Founder
Ellie Rome is the founder of Comfort Zone Retreats and a wellness facilitator who believes real transformation happens when we unplug, get outside, and do hard things together.
With a background in functional nutrition, yoga, somatic breathwork, and emotional health, Ellie creates retreat experiences that blend adventure with depth — long hikes, early mornings, honest conversations, and space to truly reset. Her work is rooted in nervous system regulation, mental and emotional well-being, and building authentic, growth-minded community.
After navigating her own journey with burnout, disconnection, and rebuilding her relationship with her body and mind, Ellie felt called to create spaces where people could step away from constant stimulation, reconnect with nature, and remember what they’re capable of. Comfort Zone Retreats was born from that vision.
Ellie is known for her grounded, supportive leadership style — equal parts encouraging and challenging — and for creating environments where people feel safe to push their edges while being deeply supported. Her retreats attract people who crave both adventure and presence, structure and freedom, challenge and rest.
When she’s not leading retreats, Ellie can usually be found hiking with her fiance and puppy, teaching yoga, leading breathwork, strength training, experimenting with nourishing food, journaling, or planning the next Comfort Zone adventure.
