TAUNTON – A Brockton native has built a wellness retreat for women where they can escape the worries of everyday life and strengthen and rejuvenate their body, mind and soul.
Anya House in Taunton is a unique business offering a much needed fresh start to women of all ages.
A woman going through a difficult time can book Anya House for 14 hours to escape from everyday life. There are several rooms to choose from in this refuge.
What’s in the inspiration room
If you are feeling uninspired and unmotivated, you can book the Inspiration Pod, which is designed to specifically trigger your creativity.
It is a vibrant place where you can refocus, recharge, and restore hope and motivation for future endeavors.

What is there in the wellness room
Are you suffering from burnout and just need a quiet place with a comfortable bed to sleep in? Then the wellness capsule is the perfect space for you.
It features a large daybed, aromatherapy diffuser, desk, lounge chair and accessories with a focus on self-care, burnout recovery, stress management and other forms of healing and self-care.
It’s almost like an Airbnb with a focus on mental health, but without the overnight stay.
Relaxing 14-hour short break
The wellness rooms are accessible from 7 a.m. and are vacated by 9 p.m. The rooms are not intended for overnight stays, but for a relaxing stay of several hours. During your booking, you can come and go as you please.

Owner’s self-help journey to overcome depression
Owner, Latonia Francois, began her journey of love and self-care over 10 years ago by founding Let’s Write Life, a faith-based wellness company for women on a journey “to rediscover the best of themselves through transformative journaling and self-discovery” by implementing programs and building community through her retreats.
Francois struggled with depression and learned to heal herself through journaling, faith, and positive affirmations.
“Depression is like a cold. If you don’t try to cure it, you’ll stay sick,” Francois said.
The Brockton High School graduate wanted to share with the world the steps she had taken to heal the debilitating depression that had plagued her for most of her life.
“I told myself I didn’t want my life to be plagued by depression, and my life took a turn when I decided to move on after hitting rock bottom and wrote about things that made me happy. Journaling was a huge part of my healing process and transforming my own life. Once I got back on the side of life, I was free of depression. I’m not the same person I was before, and that’s how I started Let’s Write Life,” Francois said. “I want more women to know that.”
Francois wants nothing more than to add something “special” to the community of Taunton.
For her, building community is “what life is all about.”
