You're invited to join us for our somatic-experiencing and healing-focused retreat. This trauma-informed, immersion experience will allow you to settle into a safe container with highly skilled trauma therapists as you attend to the parts of yourself that need gentleness, support, and care as you move forward from your traumatic past. Healing-focused retreats can provide support and transformation equivalent to months of therapy. Stepping out of your life for a few days will allow you the space to connect with yourself in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Join me as I bring my knowledge of complex trauma and attachment, Somatic Experiencing, and Somatic Resilience & Regulation into a digestible and interactive training created just for you.

Healing Focused Self-Care Strategies

Self-care can’t be an extra, it is a crucial part of healing and recovery. The benefits of self-care can be felt when you attend to what your body is needing right here, right now. When we begin to attend to our bodies, we can become better aware of our needs. By attending to our bodies in our every day life we not only support ourselves in a routine fashion, we also help to build body trust so that we can rely on our brain and body to work together to help us through some of our toughest moments. This course is a supportive guide to help you connect with your body, and learn what it needs, as you work to be more present. Sometimes we can’t make big changes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create more space for us and our healing.
