This was unlike any experience I’ve had and I’m so glad I did it. Heather and Monica are supportive, caring and nurturing guides through the medicine journey. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and gentle encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend them and the experiences they conduct.

The event exceeded my expectations. The entire agenda was well organized and thoughtful planned. There were many extras I wasn’t expecting and the people that provided the services were professionals in their fields. Heather and Monica clearly know how to make people feel safe and comfortable in this space. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

I highly recommend retreats with Heather and Monica! The information, support, and experience they provided was amazing. I felt guided by professionals that had my best interest at heart so I was able to have the experience of a lifetime. I've recommended their services (private or group) to everyone I know.

I am filled with gratitude for realizing that I have the power to make myself happy and healthy. It's quite enlightening to recognize that we make choices every day, whether we realize it or not. Discovering that we have the conscious choice of what choices to make is truly amazing. I feel incredibly thankful for choosing to go on this amazing retreat. It was an unforgettable experience, and I felt the same gratitude and blessings as the other women. Meeting Heather and Monica made it clear that we all made the right choice. Our lives were profoundly changed in such a positive way. Their thoughtfulness to detail was beyond what we could have imagined. You can definitely tell this is a labor of love. They are truly changing the vibration of our planet for the greater good of humankind. They are both empowering women and each brings something unique and special to the journey. They gently guide women to go within. Their screening process was very thorough and a lot of thought went into it. There will always be a special connection between us all. The journey is a deeply personal and profound experience, and it's hard to put into words. Everyone gains something different, but I can assure you that it will transform you in a positive way if you choose to join them in a future retreat. I also came to the realization that life has an expiration date, and I am choosing to live each day as if it's my last. I'm not saying every day has to be like I'm at a theme park. I'm just saying I can choose to be happy. It truly is a choice to be grateful and once I figured that out, it was easy to choose that energy because so much of it comes back to you. It's a practice I am committed to. Dealing with your own trauma is not easy, I can say that from personal experience, but taking little steps forward every day can lead to significant changes. One percent is better than zero percent. So, go ahead and give yourself a high five; every choice counts. We all have the potential for a beautiful journey. Confronting our shadows and becoming whole is necessary for us to experience joy. Take that trip, you won't regret it! 😉
