TESTIMONIAL

OUR GUESTS SPEAK

FROM THE HEART

"Michelle is a top-notch human services professional... As the host and director of this retreat, she did a wonderful job organizing it. Her attentiveness to me as an individual within the larger group always made me feel seen, heard and included in ways that empowered me to stretch beyond my perceived limitations... I feel uplifted and energized and would definitely attend another travel retreat in the future. I highly recommend registering because taking a break is not a luxury, it's a necessity that sometimes one doesn't even realize is needed and wanted!"

Taking a Break Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Necessity

– Neelofer C., Non-profit Executive Director & Medical Office Manager

"This retreat was truly transformational. After years of feeling stuck, Michelle created the perfect environment for deep, meaningful conversations both in a group setting and one-on-one. Her ability to hold space is magical; she intuitively anticipated our needs, making me feel deeply cared for throughout the journey. The work was engaging and stimulating, but more importantly, it felt like a long-awaited hug for my soul. As both a therapist and a participant, I found this experience life-changing."

The Hug My Soul Had Been Needing

– Alyssa T., Individual and Couples Therapist & Director of Continuing Education

"From beginning to end, this was an incredible experience. Michelle exceeded every expectation, from the stunning location to the thoughtful accommodations. More importantly, she provided me with the tools to process past traumas and negative emotions, allowing me to finally begin writing the next chapter of my life. Michelle created a space where I felt safe enough to be truly vulnerable, and I am so deeply grateful to have been a part of this."

I Was Given the Tools to Write the Next Chapter of My Life

– Angela N., Physical Therapist, Attended October 2024

"Michelle made a space for each of us in her heart and created a comfort like I’ve never felt to authentically be myself. I felt at ease and free to be vulnerable and shared things with my Paradise Peeps (as I’ve affectionately come to refer to this kinship of women) that cultivated a transformation for me. I feel complete and ready to live happy."

I Found a Kinship That Awakened My True Self

– Lori S., Small Business Owner, Attended October 2024

"I had a wonderful experience in paradise. The retreat allowed me to relax and restore while learning how to adjust my approach to self care."

Relax and Restore While Learning

– Amanda B., Chief Of Staff, Attended October 2024

"Thank you so very much for your ultra warm welcome and your generosity of spirit... from Michael warmly receiving us at the airport, to our first experience walking into The Villa... is super spectacular! Our DINNER was exquisite... I’m blown away and moved to bits... Your gifts are so incredibly thoughtful and lovely - your attention to detail is exquisite and what an outstanding start to this most special time."

An Outstanding Start to a Most Special Time

– Neelofer C., Non-Profit Executive Director, attended October 2024
