Testimonials

TRANSFORMATIONAL SHARES FROM PAST RETREATS

"Before the retreat, I felt stressed, anxious, and confused. But through Sarah and the other women's connection, support, love, and understanding.Ā I was able to see my path forward with clarity and have a tough conversation with my boss to let her know I needed a different fit, and she took it so well!! This retreat felt like a warm hug for my mind, body, and soul. It was EXACTLY what I needed to remember WHO I AM AND WHAT I'M WORTH!! YOU DESERVE THIS! "

Ā 
Nicole, Michigan

"From the moment I met Sarah, I felt held by her warmth, compassion, and steady presence. There is something in her energy that invites you to soften, exhale, and open in ways you didnā€™t realize you needed. I came into the retreat weekend, knowing I had not been prioritizing myself at work. I was feeling emotional, confused, and anxious. Through the healing practices in our retreat, I left feeling empowered, more connected to myself, beautiful, loved, and ready to take on the rest of my life. You will NOT regret this life-changing experience.Ā  "

Ā 
Angela, Florida

"I arrived knowing I needed time away for myself, yet carrying quiet guilt and shame for wanting it. Through connection with other women, journaling, and gentle healing, I found love, stillness, and a deep sense of calm within this Whispers of the Wild retreat. I remembered that I am a traveler on this road of life, able to honor where I am and continue forward, wherever the path leads, I am still learning, still becoming. To any woman considering this space, know this: you do not have to change a thing. COME AS YOU ARE."Ā 

Donna, Michigan

"This experience helped me soften into exactly where I am in my life. In the stillness, I remembered that I am worthy, just as I am. I felt held in such deep safety that I no longer needed to fill the quiet with noise. Instead, I learned how to welcome the peace.Ā 

For the woman considering this retreat, know that this is a gift you give yourself before you fully understand how much you need it. It is a return to yourself. A refreshing, rejuvenating balm for the soul."

Jennifer, Michigan
