Intensive Sessions and Personalized Retreats 


Some experiences cannot be rushed. Grief, trauma, and profound loss invite us to slow down, breathe, enter and be with, the deeper layers of our being.

Healing Intensives and 2–4 day private retreats offer expanded, immersive spaces to move beyond the limits of a traditional therapy hour and into a rhythm  that allows for meaningful release, integration, and renewal. 
These experiences are for those who sense that one hour isn’t enough—or who wish to reconnect deeply with themselves and, often, with loved ones who have died—in a sacred, intentional way, held with compassion and skilled support.

Each intensive, or retreat, is personalized around your needs and intentions. Together, we co-create a gentle space of safety and presence. Within this extended container, you’ll have time to explore, feel, rest, and integrate—without pressure or rush. You'll also have support around travel arrangements, and accomodations if needed. 

Your experience may include:
  • Induced After-Death Communication (IADC): A gentle, evidence-based process to support connection after loss. Learn more about IADC here...
  • Spiritual Hypnosis Journeys: Guided sessions to take you within the depths of self to do integrative work following others sessions including IADC and trauma reprocessing, or to experience the deep healing and insight these session can bring on their own. Learn more here...
  • Yoga Therapy & Somatic Work: Movement, breath, and awareness practices to engage the body’s innate wisdom and support nervous system regulation.
  • Journaling & Expressive Writing: Reflection and creative expression to give voice to grief, insight, and meaning that you create. 
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Work: Meeting and integrating your inner parts with compassion and curiosity. This may include inner child work, inner critic, fearful parts, manager parts, and more. 
  • Trauma Re-processing: using guided visualizations, inner resourcing, you are completely at the helm of the experience. There are multiple modalities in which I am trained. We will find the right one for you. 
  • Yoga Nidra: Deep guided relaxation to access a place where body/mind/spirit can feel more integrated supporting better sleep, rest, relaxation, and healing where healing is needed. ​Learn more here...
  • Arts and Expressive work: This may include journaling, painting, collage, work with clay, mandala creation, or other forms of creation and expression. 
  • Tarot & Archetypal Symbology: Accessing the language of the soul through imagery, metaphor, and symbolic guidance. Learn more here...
  • Reiki:  Gentle yet powerful energy work for stress relief and integration. Learn more here...

Whether you choose a multi-hour, day-long intensive, or multi-day retreat, the appropriate modalities and techniques will be woven together to honor your whole being--mind, body, and spirit.

Retreat options
For those seeking even deeper immersion, I offer private 2–4 day individualized retreats.
These experiences allow for extended time in sacred space—often combining multiple therapeutic sessions with yoga, meditation, nature connection, rest, and reflection. Each retreat is custom-crafted to your goals and needs and can include both structured and unstructured time for integration.

Retreats may take place in-person in a calming, natural setting or virtually with intentional design for your home environment.

Intensives and Retreats are ideal if you:
  • Are navigating deep grief or trauma and need more time and space to process, explore, connect and find meaning.
  • Feel ready to take the space and time to help your energy and emotions move with mindful compassion and creative exploration.
  • Wish to connect more fully with your inner self or a loved one who has died.
  • Seek a sacred, integrative approach blending therapeutic depth with spiritual connection wisdom

Session & retreat details:
  • Individual Intensives: 2–6 hours
  • Private Retreats: 2–4 days (with a custom schedule)
  • Format: In-person and online options available
  • Flow: Opening & nervous system settling → focused therapeutic work → integration & closing practices
  • Aftercare: Personalized integration plan with grounding, reflection, and self-care practices​​

Each intensive or retreat is uniquely created, curated, and tailored to you—honoring your timing, needs, and personal path. We can blend together any of the modalities and techniques I am trained in and use in my practice including: 
  • Compassion Focused Therapy,
  • Mindfulness and Meditation,
  • Yoga and Yoga Philosophy,
  • Somatic work
  • EMI and core focused EMDR
  • IADC
  • Yoga Nidra, guided visualization, guided relaxation, 
  • Hypnotherapy,
  • Expressive modalities including journaling and artmaking,
  • IADC 
  • Reiki
  • Tarot Symbology 

    Contact me here about planning your intensive session or personal retrat experience and I will get back to you to begin your personal journey.
