Details

You can't remember the last time you made a decision without second-guessing yourself for three days. You say yes to clients you don't want to see. You sign contracts that don't work for you. You avoid your notes. You scroll instead of resting. You know what you "should" do, but you can't seem to do it. Your body has been braced so tight, for so long that you've forgotten what ease even feels like. For three days in person, we're going to help you unclench your body, your nervous system, your cells so that you can experience the deep change that creates for your business and your clinical work. Come back to your body and lead your practice and life from your wisdom. You will learn embodiment practices - breathwork, brainspotting, and somatics and you will learn how that shifts building a business that honors your body and nervous system. All experiences are invitational and trauma-informed. Across our three days together in person, we will guide experiences that are invitational and trauma-informed. We will help you slow the spin, unwind activation, and create simple rituals you can keep. We will also help you reconnect with YOUR wisdom, so you can translate insights into daily actions, boundaries, and rhythms that support your work and your life. Your system is telling the truth about what it has carried. When you include your body, your presence deepens, your clinical intuition gets clearer, and your days feel kinder. We are honored to hold this space with you and to bring our full toolkit, coaching and healing, to your care.

Schedule

When your nervous system settles, your clinical wisdom gets louder and you can create a business and a life from a place that is aligned with your truth. We will gather for 5 intentional hours each morning for breathwork, brainspotting, somatic practices, connection, and processing. This is deep, focused transformational work. Then? You are free to walk the beach, journal at a cafe, nap without guilt, or connect with your new friends over optional group dinners. We give you time for the day's work to actually land in your body. This unstructured time isn't extra; it's essential and where integration happens Ground and Arrive: We'll help you drop out of your head and into your body. Learn Something New: Each day brings a different combination of tools: brainspotting, conscious breathwork, tapping, or somatic practices you can use long after the experience ends. Actually Do The Thing: No more just learning about it- you'll practice the tool in real-time with our guidance. This is where the shift happens. Make Sense of It Together: Process what came up, integrate what you learned, and connect with other healers who actually get

Testimonials

My expectations were here, and the reality was like somewhere up there. This was transformational, it was inspirational. I wept multiple times, and I feel like I've also connected with people who will be in my life forever.

I absolutely would do it again. Worth every dime. I probably would have paid double if I'd known everything I would get out of it.

I remember my first call before the retreat with Kelly and I was crying almost the whole time. I was like "I'm just not worth it. I don't think I can get off these panels." I had really taken in that my worth was about $50 an hour at most and I couldn't even think about doubling or tripling that. Today I ask for what I believe I"m worth every day. If they don't want to pay it, it's just not the right fit. Walking into that retreat and sitting down to resign from my panels- it was the most vulnerable place to be. I was so scared. But it was completely worth it.

My income is probably at least doubled since that retreat. We have to invest in ourselves.

Therapists tend to be like little islands. This is a great way to not be an island. My TRIBE from the retreat - everybody is just exploding. It's almost like a camp friend, but better and deeper. These are people who truly get it, who support you in your growth and. boundaries.
