See what some of our last guests had to say about the prior event:

"I feel so grateful to have been included in such a wonderful experience. What a warm and safe place interacting with all the leaders with so much experience and knowledge. I feel like I came home with a lot of tools to enhance my life. Thanks to each and every one who was there. 

I am so happy that I went to this wellness retreat. I had hoped for some motivation to live a healthier life. Dr. Susan and her amazing co-leaders created a safe space to share and learn and laugh. Our morning yoga and meditation set the stage for a beautiful day. I left feeling rested and joyful with many new friends. This retreat was really transformative, and I am hoping there will be another one soon" 

"One of the best things about the retreat is that I think it was really a judgement free zone which unfortunately can be hard to find sometimes. Meeting women with similar struggles can make you feel less alone. Finding solutions to these struggles or just open ears is heartwarming. All the presenters were genuinely friendly and willing to just be themselves. Every woman needs this retreat in their life"

"It was life changing! To feel I and others could be so open with our whole hearts. (Including our leaders) I think everyone else fed off each other! Was an AWESOME GROUP!

I loved every minute of the experience! The retreat was everything that I expected and more. The amazing women, the wonderful speakers, and the safe space to “just connect” was perfect. I learned a lot and have much to think about regarding my health and happiness. I would love to attend the next retreat. This experience truly enhanced my life"

"Genuine sharing, helpful learning, fun laughs. Makes me not so frustrated to be in “mid-life”! Very empowering, and it’s staying with me even after returning to my daily life. Thank you!

I went to retreat to declutter my mind and that’s exactly what I did. I want to thank the hosts for making it possible. Super fun!"

"Dr. Susan has got to be the most intuitive and empathic doctor a woman could have. She is the catalyst of everything wonderful that happened at this retreat and just has the most beautiful instinct for knowing what women need. The fact that she recognizes what her patients need and provided this opportunity for us is just so amazing. Our physical and mental health goes beyond doctor’s appointments, and the fact that she understands and addresses this makes her priceless"
