Be Authentic:
Harness the Magic of Your Story
A Women’s Wellness Retreat
Experience a transformative day at my own personal sanctuary - my home on the river in South Daytona - dedicated to uncovering the power of your personal story and embracing the authenticity that makes you uniquely you. This full day retreat offers a safe and supportive space to reflect on where you’ve been, honor the present moment and where you are now, and move forward into the magic of living authentically.
Hosted by me and my artist friend and retreat leader Betsy Wiersma, this day is a respite for your soul. Through intentional activities you’ll connect with your inner truth, explore the lessons of your life’s path, and cultivate a deep sense of self-acceptance. These practices are designed to help you embrace your story - no matter what it looks like-with grace and courage, so you can live more freely and confidently.
Let the stillness of the day, the power of community, and the beauty of the river support you as you reconnect with your authentic self. Together we will own who we are, celebrate our unique journey, and step boldly into the life we each design for ourselves to live most fully.
At this retreat, you will explore your story in ways that feel safe and empowering. Through a variety of guided exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to express your journey in a way that feels authentic and comfortable, creating space to honor your story without fear or shame. Supported by compassion and understanding, you’ll begin to own your truth and discover the magic of sharing your story in a way that inspires confidence, connection, and healing.
Immerse yourself in this intimate all-inclusive experience with the powerful energy of nature, supported by community, and fueled by delicious food.
Embrace stillness. Go Within. Be Yourself!
