A Clinical Retreat
I named this retreat Savannah Sanctuary in honor of my daughter.
I’m hosting this retreat at Tao Life Cafe in the Wisconsin woods because I know that advocates and clinicians need more than just a training. We need a sanctuary.
This isn't your typical conference room training. This is a space to step away from the daily demands of advocacy and clinical work, breathe in the fresh woods, and actually connect with each other.

Healing with RealFood
At the heart of this retreat is the belief that food is medicine. We partner with Tao Life Cafe because their mission is simple: providing wholesome meals that nourish the body with real food grown the right way. You won't find heat-treated, preservative-heavy "shelf" food here. Everything is fresh, perishable, and made from the limited ingredients the earth provides. By building a relationship with where our food comes from and how it makes our bodies feel, we can truly begin to heal.

How to Join a Savannah Cohort Retreat
To keep these intensives intimate and meaningful, I host them for private groups that are exactly 10 total. Private bed and bathroom included.
Investment: $700 per person, on sale now $550 includes 6.0 CEU, lodge, 4 meals and healing session
Bring a Companion for free
We know that true rest happens when you are surrounded by comfort. If you want a familiar face to relax with after CEU trianing hours you are welcome to bring one guest to enjoy nature and meals together.Note: Guests share your private room and bed. To protect the clinical learning space, guests do not attend the private CEU training modules.
Registration: I only book the venue once a full group seeking retreat of at least 6 is ready. If you have a group of colleagues or work friends who want to earn their CEUs together in the woods, have your group leader contact me directly to set up your private weekend.
01 / Premium Lodging
Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
02 / Expert Facilitation
Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.
03 / Collaborative Energy
Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.
Fueled by Love: The Starfish Story
My passion for this work is fueled by the protection I felt for my daughter before she was even born, and still fiercely feel to this day.
Her life reminds me every single day of the old starfish story. A child is throwing washed-up starfish back into the ocean one by one. An old man tells her she can't possibly save them all, so it doesn't matter. But as she throws another one back, she says, "It mattered to that one."
That is how I got out. Because of so many people who helped me along the way in their own small ways because they cared and took action. I still cherish those moments of true human connection that lead me through to other side of the darkest part of my life.
Moving forward, even if this training only helps one person in a small way to navigate their way out, it will be completely worth it. Because every single person we reach is someone's child, someone's loved one.
