Special Guest & Facilitators
Dr. Natiya Guin, NMD, MEd, NBC-HWC
Dr. Natiya Guin is a leader in functional medicine. As a licensed naturopathic doctor and nationally certified health and wellness coach, she is dedicated to the deep empowerment of women and families in their whole health picture. She is particularly passionate about supporting future doctors and health coaches and dedicates time to mentoring students, offering preceptorship and trainings, as well as creating curriculum for UCSB, UCSD Extended Studies, and Bastyr University.
She is the founder of the Deep Living Wellness platform: connecting all areas of the health paradigm from emotional, to creative, to physical; empowering women at the center of their care. Here, women are given community and sisterhood by working with Dr. Natiya and her team (including Bastyr graduate, Dr. Des Harris) to receive personalized medical care, health coaching, Radiant Renewal retreats (which Dr. Natiya co-leads with Dr. Desi Bartlett), labs, high quality tailored supplements, educational resources, and her organic line, Deep Living Skincare. It was Natiya’s aim to heal her own daughter's eczema when mainstream medicine and topicals did not help that started her ethical medicine and skincare journey that inevitably led her to become a women’s health advocate and skin expert.
Additionally, Dr. Natiya is a wife, mother of 3, university professor, national speaker, and author. She treats many of Hollywoods most prominent moms and has been featured in publications such as People, VeryWell Heath, WomenFirst, Frenshe, Om Yoga Magazine and beyond.
Dr. Sef Tritt, NMD
Offering private & group nutritional shots & IVs during the retreat by appointment
Dr. Sef Tritt, ND is a naturopathic doctor with years of experience building an integrative medicine practice focused on innovative therapies, nutrition, hormone optimization, IV therapy, and whole-person health. She is especially passionate about supporting patients struggling with hormonal imbalances that contribute to weight gain, stubborn weight loss, and barriers to achieving fitness and vitality goals.
Dr. Sef has extensive experience designing and administering customized IV nutrient therapies, using them as a powerful adjunct to support energy, metabolism, immune function, recovery, and overall physiologic resilience. She integrates IV therapy thoughtfully alongside lifestyle medicine, hormonal care, and regenerative approaches to enhance outcomes and accelerate healing when appropriate.
=Through her work, Dr. Sef has found that some of her most meaningful patient relationships are formed while helping individuals restore metabolic balance, rebuild confidence in their bodies, and reconnect with sustainable health practices. Her approach blends naturopathic, conventional, and regenerative therapies, with an emphasis on personalization—because no two bodies, histories, or goals are the same.
Dr. Sef is the founder of Body For Keeps, a name that reflects both her philosophy and her promise to patients. Her mission extends beyond short-term results; she strives to help patients develop lifelong habits that support strength, resilience, and long-term well-being. Her goal is not only to help patients feel better now, but to empower them to maintain a Body For Keeps: the strongest, healthiest version of themselves for years to come.
When she’s not working with patients, Dr. Sef enjoys movement in all its forms, spending time outdoors, and continuing her lifelong curiosity for learning, growth, and integrative healing.
Dr. Des Harris, ND, MS
Offering private & group craniosacral sessions during the retreat by appointment
Dr. Des Harris, ND is a naturopathic doctor dedicated to supporting sustainable, whole-body healing through functional, integrative approaches. Her clinical focus is rooted in nervous system regulation, supporting individuals navigating chronic conditions, digestive concerns, and hormonal imbalances. Dr. Des works from the understanding that many chronic and complex conditions arise from prolonged stress and physiological dysregulation.
Dr. Des integrates modalities such as craniosacral therapy, homeopathy, nutritional and supplement-based therapies, and lifestyle interventions to help restore balance, resilience, and vitality. Her approach prioritizes creating a sense of safety within the body, allowing individuals to engage fully in the healing process and achieve lasting, meaningful results.
In her free time, Dr. Des loves to spend time with her two kitties (Helix & Greyson), spend time in nature, and enjoy restorative and creative activities.
