THE FOUNDER
Claire Lemerle, certified midwife
Since 2014, Claire has guided women through one of the most transformative passages of their lives. Five years in hospital settings, six years in private practice in Geneva, a mother of two, and hundreds of births that have taught her one thing: pregnant women deserve the best. She knows what it feels like. From the inside.
Soleia Retreats was born from this conviction — that of a midwife who decided that medical rigour and the beauty of an exceptional stay could, finally, coexist.
« You are not only welcoming your baby. You are welcoming a version of yourself you don't yet know. »
AN EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERSHIP
Two experts, one shared vision for a unique partnership.
Soleia was born from a conviction carried by Claire, a midwife. Soleia has partnered with Charlotte of MotherStories, the leading maternity community in French-speaking Switzerland, to turn this exclusive vision into a shared reality.
Claire, Founder of Soleia
Midwife and entrepreneur, I created Soleia Retreats to offer pregnant women something that didn't exist yet: a medically supervised, deeply luxurious retreat, in the heart of the warmest destinations. Every detail is designed so you leave transformed.
Charlotte, CEO of MotherStories
I built MotherStories to bring together women who experience motherhood with depth and authenticity. When I discovered Soleia, it was instantly clear: this retreat was exactly what my community deserved. Joining this project as a partner means carrying forward, together, something that didn't yet exist in Geneva.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions about the Soleia Experience
Soleia is the only luxury prenatal retreat designed and led by a certified midwife. This is not a yoga getaway organised by an untrained wellness professional with a few add-on workshops. It is birth preparation with genuine medical reliability, wrapped in the luxury, beauty and gentleness you deserve.
8 women maximum, no exceptions. This is a deliberate choice — it guarantees genuine individual attention, authentic conversations and a level of intimacy that larger groups simply cannot offer.
No. The Soleia programme is identical regardless of destination. Prenatal yoga, massages, midwife-led workshops, gastronomy, photo shoot… it’s all there, at every retreat. Only the view changes.
Soleia is a women-only space, with no partners, no spouses. This is a founding choice: the magic of the circle only fully unfolds among pregnant women, free from any role or performance.
Do you have a pregnant friend going through the same adventure? She is welcome. Book together and share the experience as two.
