Friday, 2–5pm. Just three hours. Four people. One sacred space.
That’s all it takes for something deep to begin moving.

This isn’t your typical “relaxation” retreat.
It’s not about escaping your life ~ it’s about turning inward and finally meeting what’s been asking to be seen.

What Makes This Retreat Different?

This intimate 3-hour gathering is infused with Root-Cause Therapy principles, blended with the somatic and trauma-informed tools I use in private sessions ~ including:

Self-Havening Touch ~ a gentle, neurobiological tool that supports the brain to process stuck stress responses
Butterfly Hug Taps ~ a powerful bilateral technique that soothes the nervous system
Emotion Dialling ~ a guided somatic method that helps you turn up “stuck” emotions in a safe container so they can release, rather than stay buried

We’re not just talking about healing ~ we’re doing the work.

The Power of a Small Circle

Only four adults. No big crowd. No hiding.

That means:

~ You get personalised support

~ You feel seen without being overwhelmed

~ You heal in community, without the pressure to perform

There’s something profoundly validating about being witnessed in your truth.
And there’s a special kind of magic when a group of people soften together, process emotions side by side, and come back into their bodies ~ together.

Why Friday Afternoon?

Because most people spend the whole week holding it together.
By Friday?
Your system is done ~ but often, you still don’t give yourself permission to rest or release.

This 3-hour window becomes a sacred threshold.
You walk in carrying weeks, months, years, maybe even decades of tension… and walk out feeling like you can breathe again.

What You Might Experience

Every retreat is different, but clients who work with me often say they leave with:
~  A surprising emotional release
~ A deeper connection to their body
~ Clarity around something they’d been stuck on
~ Tools they can keep using when life feels intense
~ A sense of peace they didn’t know they needed

Who It’s For

If you’ve been:

~ Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected

~ Carrying tension you can’t quite shift

~ Longing for time to process without having to “hold it together”

~ Curious about healing but not ready for 1:1 just yet…

This is for you.
