Why a RETREAT?

A RETREAT is the quickest, most effective way to jump-start your life. Your time is precious, and a RETREAT is the best way to maximize that time, accompanied by full support, guidance and the environment to dream, and ask “what if?”. You could do traditional therapy for years, with sessions every week or month, slowly working through what you need, or you can invest in few succinct days where you have uninterrupted time to deeply work towards creating the life you want. Unlike therapy, or counseling sessions, that are focused solely on your past, a RETREAT is forward-looking, only briefly looking back for context and insight. In order to think, plan and get back control of your life, I strongly believe the first step is to physically remove yourself from your current life and temporarily put that life on hold. When you’re in the midst of overwhelm, your mind is racing, you’re in survival mode and it’s hard to think straight. By going on RETREAT, you allow your body and mind to escape the craziness, to relax, refocus and allow it to ask the right questions. In the space of a RETREAT, you can reconnect with yourself and your true wishes and desires. You will be amazed how much can be accomplished in a dedicated few days of a powerful experience, where the focus is totally on you and your priorities.

What is the RETREAT vibe?

It’s simply inspirational! Hosted within the luxurious environment of The Lodge at Woodloch, my 2022: It’s Time for You RETREAT is positive, fun and forward-looking and with a dash of magic. It’s a time of self-discovery, uncovering or reconnecting to your passions, dreams, and the life you truly want to live. The workshops are warm and uplifting, in a supportive, comfortable and intimate environment, with other like-minded women, travelling on the same path to put themselves back on the priority list and make 2022 their best year ever!

What is a typical RETREAT day?

A typical RETREAT Day is a balance of learning, exploring, delicious spa cuisine and free time. We will meet as a group once or twice a day, to share our experiences through group coaching, enabling us together to go on a self-discovery journey of our lives and ourselves, where we are now and where we want to go in the future. You will feel supported, connected and comfortable sitting amongst like-minded women. You will have early morning, all afternoon and late evening as free time and space just for you. Fill yourself up any way you choose – reflect, get active, relax – it’s totally up to you! The Lodge at Woodloch offers a variety of 35+ different classes and activities each day plus the most amazing world-renowned spa. You will have numerous opportunities to relax your body, recharge your mind and renew your spirit!

Is there ongoing support offered to keep me accountable after the RETREAT?

Yes! My mission is to help you uncover your version of your ideal year and help you create that life. All retreat guests receive two follow-up, 60-minute 1.1 VIP Coaching Sessions with me after the RETREAT. These deep and personalized coaching sessions are included within the RETREAT investment and are designed to support and complement the main RETREAT. I will make sure you feel great about your experience, and I will help you continue to move forward, toward your ideal year and life, once you are back home. Additional private 1:1 coaching is always available if you would like me to help you after the RETREAT with ongoing support in creating your version of the life you would like to live.

Can I book extra 1:1 coaching during the RETREAT?

One, 1:1 Power Coaching Session while on RETREAT is included with your investment. However, it is not possible to add on additional 1:1 coaching during the RETREAT (but I do offer something else. Please see the next question below!). My priority is to make sure that you have the right balance between downtime and group coaching sessions, so that you get the most out of the experience and completely prioritize yourself. A RETREAT can be very moving, in the feelings and emotions that the experience brings to the surface, and you will need time to acknowledge and process these, in order to take the next steps. All retreat guests automatically receive two follow-up, 60-minute 1.1 VIP Coaching Sessions with me after the RETREAT. These deep and personalized coaching sessions are included within the RETREAT investment and are designed to support and complement the main RETREAT, assisting you in stepping into your new life, once you are back home. Additional 1:1 personalized career and life coaching is also available to support your transformation.

Can I stay an extra day on RETREAT for extra 1:1 coaching?

Yes! NEW! I now offer the exclusive opportunity to extend the RETREAT experience an additional day to just one individual, enabling them to truly deep dive and jumpstart their new life, before they leave the inspirational and cocooned environment of the RETREAT. Through my mini Private RETREAT Intensive, we work 1:1 to pinpoint and clarify what your new year/new life looks like and we create a detailed step by step plan of how to accomplish it. If this is something you would like to add onto your RETREAT experience, just let me know when you are booking your space on RETREAT and then I can share more details with you.

Where can I get directions?

Driving directions can be found HERE. The Lodge at Woodloch is a scenic two- to four-hour drive from almost anywhere in the Northeast. Located just over two hours from New York City and three hours from Philadelphia, our spectacular destination spa is an easy escape.

What if the RETREAT gets cancelled?

Unexpected things can happen - as we have all learnt first-hand last year! However, in the unlikely event that the RETREAT is cancelled by me, you will be given a full refund, excluding travel.

What about COVID Precautions?

COVID vaccinations will be required for all RETREAT guests. At the time of the RETREAT, final COVID protocols will be determined based on The Lodge at Woodloch protocols. Current protocols can be found HERE. I have experience running multiple successful COVID-friendly retreats. The goal is to not only remain safe, but to relax, destress and make major life progress. This is possible, even during a pandemic. I promise!
