PEACE BEGINS WITH ME RETREAT
Step away from the noise. Reconnect with your center. Choose peace — on purpose.
Because peace isn’t something you find… it’s something you create.
You spend your days doing, solving, leading, caring for everyone else.
But lately, even rest doesn’t feel restful. The mind keeps spinning.
You crave quiet — not just silence, but that deeper calm that says, “I’m okay. I’ve got this.”
This one-day retreat is your chance to return to that place inside you — the one that already knows how to be peaceful, no matter what’s happening around you.
What better way to start the New Year than with like-minded people who want to embody a higher degree of peace for themselves!
In this 1 day experiential retreat, we will explore peace as an internal resource you can generate, giving you a greater sense of self-mastery, groundedness and empowerment; despite whatever circumstances you may be dealing with.
Embody the Peaceful You!
During this retreat, we will:
With over 10 years of experience from my hypnosis practice, I bring a skill set that allows participants to explore what it means to broaden their awareness and feel competent in making powerful, beneficial changes. I am an experienced discussion facilitator and workshop leader.
Weaving hypnosis, NLP and improv into a unique combination, I create space for people to explore and discover their own inner resources, understanding that information and experience is oftentimes the only thing that is keeping us from being the version of Self we wish to be.
I look forward to hosting an experience where you can build on your skill set to self-regulate, access your own inner resources and even have some fun doing it!

Practical tools to restore peace in minutes — not hours
Simple exercises to reconnect you to what is, right now
A calmer mind and clearer focus
The Value of Experience
Bringing together a unique, professional skill set of hypnosis practices, spiritual teachings, improvisation, breath work, and body awareness, this retreat will span a variety of modalities all directed at creating an experience where you are able to contemplate deep questions about your Self and how you wish to be as a result of this retreat. Our day together will include:
Understanding the power of our imagination

As a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Yoga Studies & Psychology, I guide individuals and groups through yoga, meditation, and breathwork practices designed to support greater awareness and balance.
Drawing from traditional yogic practices while adapting to individual needs, my approach is grounded and accessible. I offer tools that help people slow down, connect with their bodies, and cultivate presence and ease, wherever they are on their journey, even in a busy, modern world.
