Highlights

  • Experience a full nervous system reset and release stored stress and tension from body, mind, and emotions

Details

This fully private half-day retreat resets your nervous system to a healthy baseline and gives you the tools, understanding, and support to navigate daily life challenges with increased personal power, calm, and resilience. This half-day retreat is a practical and transformative experience of nervous system and relational healing in the beautiful Sonoran desert of Scottsdale, Arizona. During your private one-on-one time with Polyvagal-trained nervous system expert Alessandrina Dorer, you’ll practice the most effective techniques for your unique nervous system needs and release the blocks that keep you from achieving your life goals, setting healthy boundaries, asking for what you need, and building the life you truly want. Together we’ll map your nervous system, understand the root of your stress responses and triggers, and identify the best tools to help you reduce stress and anxiety, release stored tension, clear your mind, heal your relationship with yourself and others, and come back to your authentic self. We’ll use bottom-up, research-backed approaches including holotropic breathwork, parts work and inner child integration, qi gong movement, and personalized somatic practices, along with body-based relaxation and rejuvenation tools such as vibration plate, inversion table, deep-tissue massage with optional hot stones or cupping, Red Light Therapy, PEMF Therapy, Medical Infrared Sauna, cold plunges, compression therapy, and more. This retreat is grounded in Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Psychology, and Attachment Theory, offering an evidence-based approach to healing that honors your body’s wisdom and pace. The approach is trauma-informed and emphasizes personal choice, so you can design your half-day retreat as you prefer and adjust every practice to honor what feels right for your body. After a lunch break, you’ll receive a private full body deep-tissue massage with optional hot stones or cupping provided by a licensed massage therapist. You can then remain at the Wellness and Recovery Center until 6 PM to enjoy the full range of restorative technologies available to deepen your nervous system reset. You’ll leave with a full integration manual designed specifically for you, with practices that continue supporting your daily capacity for rest, rejuvenation, motivation, and clarity. This experience is particularly supportive for those navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, breakups, or life transitions, and for anyone seeking deeper calm, better sleep, and increased self-agency.

Dexter and Alessandrina’s nervous system reset retreat was exactly what I needed. Alessandrina knows so much about the nervous system and how to help it when it’s in distress. I learned a lot during the one day intensive and feel confident that I can continue on the lessons for further healing at home.
