Why My Retreats Are Different—And Why That Matters

This isn’t just a trip. It’s a reclamation.

These days, the word retreat gets thrown around a lot.

There are yoga retreats on every coast. Spa weekends. Luxury detox packages. Fast-paced adventure getaways. All promising peace, transformation, or at the very least—a great Instagram photo.

But somewhere along the way, a lot of these offerings lost touch with the ritual of retreat. With the art of truly leaving behind what no longer serves, stepping into sacred space, and remembering who you are beneath the noise.

That’s where my retreats come in. They’re not like most retreats.
They’re not supposed to be.

What I Offer: A 7-Week Arc, Not a 7-Day Escape

When you attend one of my retreats, the journey doesn’t begin when your plane lands—it begins weeks before, and it continues long after you return home.

Each retreat is a 7-week sacred arc:

  • 3 weeks of preparation (physical, emotional, energetic)

  • 1 deeply immersive week on retreat in a sacred location

  • 3 weeks of guided integration to anchor the transformation

This rhythm is intentional. Without preparation, retreat can feel like a jolt. Without integration, it becomes a beautiful memory instead of a lasting change. My work honors the entire cycle.

This Isn’t a Luxury Vacation—It’s a Healing Ceremony

Let’s be clear: you’ll be nourished. There will be beauty. There will be stunning locations, nourishing food, and time to rest. But what you’re stepping into is not just relaxation. It’s ritual. It’s release. It’s remembering.

We weave together:

  • Daily yoga, mirror work, and body-based practice

  • Sound healing, energy clearing, and spiritual ritual

  • One-on-one massage and healing sessions

  • Candle gazing and nightly silence

  • Excursions to sacred natural sites like cenotes or ruins

  • An original retreat workbook to guide the entire process

Each moment is crafted to support your nervous system, your story, your next chapter—not just your vacation photos.

The Value: Depth Over Hype

When people first look at the price of my retreats, they sometimes ask, “Why is it more than a typical yoga retreat?” And the answer is simple:

Because this isn’t a typical yoga retreat.

You’re not sharing a room with six people or being herded into group classes with strangers. My retreats are intimate, deeply curated, and rooted in over 30 years of expertise across the healing arts. That includes:

  • Professional dance and movement training

  • 17+ years as a yoga therapist

  • 15+ modalities of massage and energy work

  • Sound healing, breathwork, ritual, and ceremony

  • A custom-created workbook designed to mirror and hold you

You’re receiving personal attention. Customized sessions. Daily bodywork. Support for your integration. And a space that’s been built for real transformation—not just a break from work.

What People Are Actually Looking For

Most people think they’re booking a retreat to relax. But what they’re really craving is this:

  • To be held in a space that doesn’t rush them

  • To feel their own body again

  • To release something heavy they’ve been carrying for years

  • To reconnect with their voice, power, and intuition

  • To have someone see them—not just serve them

That’s what my retreats are built for. That’s the difference.

For Those Who Are Ready

This is an invitation for those who are no longer satisfied with surface-level healing. For those who want to do the real work, but do it in a way that is nurturing, intentional, and whole.

If you’re looking for deep recalibration—not just a change of scenery—you’re in the right place.
