TAUNTON — A Brockton native built a wellness retreat for women to escape the woes of life and recharge and rejuvenate their minds, bodies and spirits.
The Anya House in Taunton is a unique business that offers women of all ages a necessary reboot.
A woman having a rough time can book The Anya House for 14 hours to get away. There are several rooms to choose from in their hideaway.
What's in the inspiration room
If you're feeling uninspired and unmotivated, you can book the inspiration pod designed to intentionally draw out your creativity.
It's a vibrant space where one can "refocus, re-energize, and restore hope and motivation" for future endeavors.

What's in the wellness room
Are you suffering from burnout and just need a quiet space with a comfy bed to sleep in? The wellness pod is the perfect room to book.
It features a full-sized daybed, aromatherapy diffuser, writing desk, lounge chair and accessories focused on self-care, burnout recovery, stress management and other forms of healing and self-care.
It's almost like an Airbnb focused on mental health but without the overnight stay.
Relaxing 14-hour getaway
Patrons can enter the wellness rooms at 7 a.m. and check out at 9 p.m. The rooms aren't made for overnight stays but just for a relaxing getaway for many hours. During your booking, you may go in and out as you please.

Owner's self-care journey to overcome depression
The owner, Latonia Francois , began her self-care love journey over 10 years ago with the creation of Let's Write Life, a faith-based wellness company for women on a journey "to rediscover the best of who they are through transformative journaling, self-discovery" by implementing programs and building community through their retreats.
Francois was dealing with her depression and learned to heal herself through journaling, faith and positive affirmations.
"Depression is like a cold. If you don't try to heal it, you will remain sick," Francois said.
The Brockton High graduate wanted to share with the world her steps to healing the crippling depression she had experienced for the majority of her life.
"I told myself I don't want my life plagued with depression, and my life pivoted when I chose to live after hitting rock bottom and wrote about things that made me happy. Journaling was a big part of my healing journey and transformation of my own life. Once I got on the side of life, I was free of depression. I'm not the same person I was before, and that's when I started Let's Write Life," Francois said. "I need more women to know this."
Francois wants nothing more than to add something "special" to the Taunton community.
Building community to her is "what life is all about."
