I offer personal, custom retreats in person and virtually for individuals and couples seeking support, connection and balance.
The focus is personal growth, relationship crisis and conflict, stress management, anxiety and addiction recovery support, self-care, and spiritual and emotional renewal.
Many people take a retreat to learn meditation and mindfulness, which are excellent methodologies to manage stress, focus the mind, better regulate the nervous system, cultivate presence and enhance life enjoyment.
We choose a setting and way of working that best supports you to learn and cultivate new patterns, building mindful and compassionate attention.
The setting can be a retreat center; an urban hotel; a country cabin or lodge; an ocean setting; or a tent in the woods. I work primarily in New England, but can also travel anywhere in the US or abroad. I suggest choosing a location with good access to nature, to leverage the healing power of time in natural settings. Locations available include the Berkshire Mountains, Cape Cod, Nantucket Island, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont, New Mexico and the California coast.
Along with mindfulness instruction and counseling as needed, activities include walking in nature, walking meditation, journaling, and simple yoga.
It's a time to get off the grid, re-balance, regroup and find your center.
I have 20+ years practice of counseling, yoga & meditation experience, and am an experienced outdoorsman.

Mission/Lineage: This service is intended for people in a crisis, at a crossroads, or who simply need more than the standard hour of therapy, but don't want to seek support in a sterile institutional setting. Having experienced the power of retreats myself, I offer this service to support people to take this empowering step for themselves. The focus is on learning skills to manage stress and better regulate emotions, so you can focus on the things you value most, and not be hijacked by your nervous system.
Average Cost: Personal retreats can be created in a great variety of locations and time frames, from one to several days, or longer. Please call me to discuss your goals and needs, and I will promptly prepare a cost estimate.
The daily fee is $2000, plus travel and accommodation costs, depending on the location of your retreat.
Consider it an investment in your sanity, well-being and thriving.
