PRIVATE GRIEF & LOSS HEALING RETREAT

 No.  

Grief doesn't follow a timetable.

Some guests come to a retreat while a loss is still very recent. Others come because something that happened years ago has begun resurfacing or because a newer experience has brought an older loss back into their awareness.

Sometimes we don't have the space to process a loss when it happens. Life continues, responsibilities take over, and we do what we need to do to keep moving.

Your loss does not have to be recent for it to deserve your attention now.

No,  

We can grieve many different kinds of losses.

The end of a relationship, changes within a marriage, retirement, caregiving, children leaving home, the loss of a role or identity, changes in our health or circumstances, or the future we once imagined can all bring grief.

Sometimes we're even grieving a version of ourselves or a period of our lives that has ended.

If something meaningful has changed or ended, grief may be part of that experience.

No. 

I am not a licensed psychotherapist, and this retreat is not psychotherapy, psychiatric care, crisis care, or a substitute for medical or mental-health treatment.

My work is complementary and draws upon more than 25 years of training and experience in approaches including energy therapy, breathwork, meditation, hypnosis, somatic awareness, yoga and nervous-system-informed practices.

The retreat gives us extended private time to explore what you're experiencing through conversation, reflection and individualized practices that may support you emotionally, physically and energetically.

 Yes, 

In many cases, a private retreat can complement the work you're already doing with a therapist or other healthcare professional.

You do not need to stop your existing care in order to attend. In fact, I want the retreat to support—not replace—the professional care and resources that are appropriate for you.

During our discovery conversation, we'll talk about your current support and what you're hoping to receive from the retreat so we can determine whether this experience is appropriate for you.

Your hotel accommodations are included in the retreat investment and arranged for you, so finding a place to stay is one less thing you need to manage.

Retreats are offered seasonally in Massachusetts and South Florida, and your accommodations will be arranged according to the retreat location and season.

The accommodations are chosen for comfort and convenience rather than as a luxury spa or resort. The focus of your time away is the private retreat experience itself, with space between our sessions for rest, reflection and integration.

You don't have to figure that out before contacting me.

I speak personally with prospective guests before a retreat is booked. During our discovery conversation, we'll talk about what you're experiencing, what has brought you to this point and what you're hoping to receive from your time away.

We can then explore whether the Private Grief & Loss Healing Retreat is appropriate for you or whether one of my other private retreat experiences may be a better fit.

There is no expectation that you know exactly what you need before we speak.
