As Featured In

You do it all.

You’re the one who holds everything together business, family, community.

There are moments you look around and think, “I built this beautiful life…” and yet something still feels off.

You move fast. You keep achieving.

But inside? You’re frayed at both ends running on adrenaline, sometimes disconnected from your body, your pleasure, your peace.

You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and wonder… When did I stop recognizing her?

If this speaks to you, The Inhale was created for you.

INHALE WOMEN'S IN-PERSON RETREAT

You’re invited

This is a retreat for women who are the creators – the caregivers, the ones who have mastered the art of “doing.”

Over our time together, you’ll learn how to shift from constant output into embodied receiving.

You’ll create MAGIC!

We’ll explore vitality, hormonal optimization, nervous system regulation, and intuitive listening- while also awakening the softer, feminine parts of you that have been quietly waiting to exhale.

You’ll experience what it feels like to find safety and quiet inside, not just in your environment. THEN BRING THAT VERSION OF YOU OUT INTO THE WORLD.

To UNPLUG from the craziness in life and PLUG IN to yourself. 

You’ll learn techniques that weave seamlessly into your daily life, tools you can share with your friends, family, your children, your teams.

This is the new paradigm of wellness! Not just cold plunges and hyperbaric chambers, but true nervous system vitality: sustainable, embodied, alive.

We are not human “doings.”  We are human “beings”.  We get to BE, with ourselves and with other women.  Yes, without the drama and/or competition. 

Over our time together, you’ll learn how to shift from constant output into embodied receiving.

We’ll explore the physiology of true vitality  hormonal, nervous system, and intuitive  while also awakening the softer, feminine parts of you that have been quietly waiting to exhale.

What You’ll Experience

Each day we’ll gather in stunning natural settings around Southern Oregon and Northern California. You’ll be nourished, held, and guided through experiences designed to awaken your body and soul:

    • Learning and Intellectual Integration: learn what’s really going on with your hormones and body. Together we’ll sift through the deluge of advice out there- HRT or no HRT? Thyroid or not? What is adrenal health, really? You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan tailored to your unique physiology.
    • Somatic and Breathwork Sessions: clear stagnant energy and reawaken your life force
    • Sound bath Ceremony-immerse in vibration and frequency that allows us to breath through upper limiting at the cellular level.
    • Constellation Work – revealing and releasing ancestral patterns that block your flow
    • Somatic and Nervous System Integration-exploring how we can turn the questions and problems and lack into magical possibility.
    • Women’s Circles and Sacred Sharing- radical honesty, laughter, tears, and truth- honoring your body’s rhythm
    • Spa Time and Local Excursions allowing your nervous system to play, rest, and receive

There is POWER in stepping back, tuning in, and surrendering so that YOU can fully
live and serve in your unique zone of genius. Ready to say YES?!
