Guest stories: a couples weekend, in Shri's words (video testimonial)
"We were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway. That's not what we got. What we got instead was a complete rejuvenation — unlike any other weekend getaway we had ever experienced." — Shri, on a couples weekend with his partner. Full transcript of his video:
Hi, my name is Shri, and I'd like to tell you about the Inner Harmony Retreat that my partner Deena and I recently had at Rocky and Michele's home. I work in senior management in biotech, so I have a dynamic but challenging job. And between my partner and I, we have five kids and a dog, so we have really busy lives.
So when we went to Michele and Rocky's home, we were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway. That's not what we got. What we got instead was a complete rejuvenation, which was not only unexpected, but unlike any other weekend getaway we had ever experienced. This is the reason that I took time to record this video testimonial, and I'd like to share some details in a point-wise fashion to explain why.
First of all, their home. When we first entered Rocky and Michele's home, we were immediately filled with a sense of peace and serenity. The aesthetics of Michele and Rocky's home is like a luxury home straight out of Architectural Digest. There are green, healthy plants everywhere that made a big difference in how we felt.
Second, their food. Rocky and Michele are super fit people, and I would say they're obsessed with health and wellness. Their food was not only super healthy and nutritious, but it was delicious. Michele made an outstanding, moist and flavorful salmon that was at par with the best fine dining restaurants we have been to in the area. In the morning, Rocky made some juices with whatever fruits and vegetables he bought at the grocery store, and then he made a delicious fruit and vegetable bread that we kept eating for the rest of the day and felt really good about it.
Third, the dining table conversations. Michele and Rocky have both overcome incredible adversities, and they were vulnerable enough to share their stories with us. But what really helped was Michele is a licensed therapist, and so she has a professional understanding of a lot of our social, relational and behavioral problems, and had a lot of great tips for couples getting closer and overcoming challenging relationships or conversations, which I think we all have in our lives.
Fourth, the biohacking devices. Rocky has a collection of these devices that we tried out, and they were awesome. The bioharmonic device provides ultimate relaxation, and we enjoyed a number of spa-like services like a myofascial release massage, infrared phototherapy, and foot massages — but unfortunately we didn't have time to test out many more devices, like this new HOCATT device, which looked really intriguing.
And finally, the energy and the vibes. Rocky and Michele are incredibly authentic and evolved human beings who display nothing but genuine warmth, generosity, hospitality, and optimism in everything they do. My partner and I were so grateful for everything they did for us, making us feel totally spoiled. And that's why I have nothing but the highest praise for Rocky and Michele's Inner Harmony Retreat, and I would definitely recommend it for couples or for corporate travelers looking for a rejuvenating and actually a resetting experience. So I hope that helped, and enjoy.
Founded by Dr. Michele Tkacz, DNP and Rocky Tkacz
We're not a spa and we're not a clinic. We're a home in Fells Point where professional-grade equipment meets genuine hospitality — no upsells, no pressure, just space to restore.
Dr. Tkacz brings a clinical background in nutritional psychiatry — years of working with clients whose bodies were asking for more than talk therapy could provide. Rocky comes from bodywork and hospitality, with a philosophy that restoration happens best when you feel genuinely welcomed. Together they bought a historic rowhouse in Fells Point and turned it into the place they had been searching for themselves.
