Coming home to wholeness retreat
A Transformational Retreat for the High-Achieving Woman Who’s Ready to Stop Holding It All Together and Start Feeling Whole
You’ve built a life that looks perfect on paper but deep down, it feels… empty.
On the outside, you’re the strong one. The achiever. The one everyone counts on.
On the inside, you’re tired. Disconnected. Quietly wondering, “Is this really it?”
You’re done performing. Done chasing “enough.” Done feeling stuck in cycles that don’t serve you.
It’s time to stop reaching for quick fixes and finally heal at the root.
It’s time to let go of the identity that helped you survive and step into the woman you were always meant to be.
Through a powerful fusion of inner child work, subconscious reprogramming, nervous system healing, and intentional lifestyle redesign, you’ll:
- Release outdated patterns and subconscious beliefs keeping you stuck
- Rebuild your identity from a nourished, self-loving foundation
- Reconnect with your body’s wisdom and start trusting your intuition again
- Rediscover your “enoughness;” not as a concept, but as an embodied truth
- Create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside
The invitation
This Retreat Is For You If:
You’re a highly driven, ambitious woman who’s spent your life performing, striving, and giving, only to find yourself feeling drained, unfulfilled, and stuck.
You’ve built a life that looks successful and impressive on the outside but feels empty inside.
You’re stuck on autopilot and can’t remember the last time you were actually present.
You’re busy and exhausted, but the idea of slowing down stresses you out.
You want to feel confident and trust your intuition but you just don’t know how.
Your happiness feels far away, and you don’t seem to have the energy to do the things that used to bring you joy.
You’re stuck in old patterns or compulsive habits and you’re ready to heal what’s underneath.
Procrastination and perfectionism seem to run your life, causing you to second-guess every step and never feel like you’re enough.
You’ve tried talk therapy, diets and exercise, self-care and sabbaticals but nothing actually works long-term.
You’re tired of revolving your life around everyone else’s needs and finally feel ready to be the main character in your own life.
You’re tired of holding it all by yourself and long to feel truly seen and held.
You’re ready to get out of survival mode, redesign your life on your own terms, and embody the radiant, powerful woman you were always meant to be.

The Experience
Tucked in the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, this sacred space invites you to unplug from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with your body, your truth, and the truest version of you. Surrounded by towering trees, fresh air, and a carefully curated sisterhood, you’ll soften into presence and ground into deep clarity.
Go beyond surface-level fixes to uncover and release the outdated patterns, beliefs, and coping mechanisms keeping you stuck. Through trauma-informed somatic practices, subconscious reprogramming, and inner child healing, you’ll access the parts of you ready to be seen, loved, and reintegrated, so you can shift from surviving to thriving.
.................................................................
Each day includes grounding movement, breathwork, and embodiment practices that help you regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom. You’ll begin building a relationship with your body that’s rooted in safety, reverence, and deep trust.
.................................................................
Experience soul-nourishing rituals designed to slow you down and open you up. From forest bathing and cold plunging to reflective journaling and guided meditation, these immersive practices awaken your senses, quiet your mind, and help you feel at home in yourself.
.................................................................
Through identity-shifting workshops, group reflection, and expert coaching, you’ll get clear on who you are now, who you're becoming, and what needs to shift to bridge that gap. You’ll leave with the tools to nourish your newfound identity and carry this transformation into your everyday life.
.................................................................
Enjoy 3 daily meals Thursday evening through Sunday morning plus unlimited organic snacks, and a thoughtfully curated tea and coffee bar. Every meal is homemade, nutrient-dense, and intentionally prepared to support your healing from the inside out.
.................................................................
We begin our journey together with a live group video call to set intentions, meet your retreat sisters, and prepare for the magic that’s to come. After the retreat, we’ll host an integration call to help you stay connected to the version of you that was awakened here.
.................................................................
Receive a thoughtfully curated welcome gift upon arrival. As an added bonus, you’ll get access to a digital photo gallery of the weekend so you can return to these moments anytime you need a reminder of who you truly are.
.................................................................
This retreat isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about returning to the you that’s been there all along; the one who moves with intention, lives with purpose, and no longer needs to hustle for her worth.
Over four life-changing days, you’ll release the pressure to perform, let go of patterns that kept you in survival mode, and rewire your relationship to your body, your choices, and your life.
The Transformation
What’s Waiting For You On The Other Side
A new internal operating system built on self-trust, clarity, and a felt sense of
“I am enough.”
Freedom from the roles and patterns that kept you stuck in burnout, perfectionism, and overgiving.
A grounded relationship with your body and nervous system, so you can move through life from a place of self-love and sovereignty.
Real-life tools and rituals that help you stay anchored in your truth long after the retreat ends.
A vision for your next chapter, and the confidence to walk toward it with intention, ease, and joy.
A life that feels spacious, meaningful, and deeply aligned with who you truly are.
I’m ready to be on the other side
This isn’t another quick-fix; it’s a soul-level shift.
One that comes home with you and keeps unfolding long after you leave.
This luxury treehouse with designer touches feels like a portal to another world. You’ll feel your nervous system immediately begin to soften as you gaze out over towering trees, ancient ferns and moss-draped trees. This is a place where you can feel deeply safe, held in the loving arms of Mother Nature herself.
