Tether + Roam and Move Embodied were created from founder Jill Willett’s personal journey of motherhood, movement, healing, and exploration.

As a mother traveling with her children, Jill began seeking experiences that felt more meaningful and connected — not just vacations filled with schedules and sightseeing, but moments that allowed her family to truly slow down, reconnect, and experience the world with presence.

Through travel, nature, movement, and intentional living, she discovered how transformative it can be to step outside of routine and into experiences that create connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the places we explore.

At the same time, Jill’s work in embodied movement and wellness was growing through Move Embodied, where she helps people reconnect to their bodies, nervous systems, breath, strength, and sense of self through mindful movement and intentional practices.

Over time, these two passions naturally came together.

Move Embodied became the grounding — rooted in movement, body awareness, wellness, and presence.

Tether + Roam became the expansion — curating intentional travel, retreats, and immersive experiences centered around beauty, restoration, exploration, and meaningful connection.

Together, these spaces were created for people craving more depth in the way they move through life:
more presence,
more wonder,
more softness,
more adventure,
and more authentic connection.

Whether through movement, travel, retreats, or shared experiences, the mission remains the same:

To help people reconnect to themselves and experience life more fully.

“Tethered to self. Free to roam.”
