Testimonials
"What a divine weekend! Whitney's retreat allowed me to relax into a sacred space of being held and nurtured by the Sacred Feminine. The food was nourishing and delicious, the setting reconnected me with the beauty of nature, and the women formed a deep bond of sisterhood throughout the weekend. Whitney has a powerful gift for leading ritual, energy healings, and intuitive readings, all of which cleared my energetic system of old baggage and allowed me to come to a sense of peace and centeredness in the present and openness toward however my future will continue to unfold. I am so grateful for this profound "reset" of my mind, body, and spirit, in the safe space of a loving community of women! Thank you, Whitney!"

"I had been feeling emotionally and mentally overwhelmed. Things were happening in my life that were dragging me down. I decided to go see Whitney, who came highly recommended by my friend Jess, as wonderful healer. At my first session Whitney made me feel hopeful, focused and feeling confident that I was going to be alright. I most definitely recommend her to anyone who is feeling lost or broken."

"When I first arrived for an energy healing, I had a lot on my plate....a lot. After several sessions with Whitney, things got progressively better. It is still getting better. I can hardly wait to see what other beautiful things develop in my life. It has been a very enlightening journey. Whitney brings you back to yourself and to the joy that is life. Thanks, Whitney."

“The Warrior Women's Retreat was everything I hoped it would be and then even more! I found peace, contentment, love, connection, healing and myself. I must say this is one of the very few times in my life that I felt and loved myself.
Each individual women was meant to be there and share their essence of love and who they are in this life. I was blessed to be there and to be there to share, listen, and contribute to the wholeness of this beautiful group. After 2 weeks, I am still feeling the essence of calm and intent that is floating me into my next chapter of my life in helping each other.
Most importantly, Whitney's enthusiasm, leadership, purposeful intent to spread the healings, blessings, and caring for each of us certainly brought us all to a place of peace and relaxation.
I cannot forget Whitney's staff. These lovely ladies brought the cooking and their healing modalities to intertwined with our sessions and interactions. Thank you all for a beautifully weekend which included rain that seem to contribute to the beauty of the weekend. Love to all.”

"Even though I was only able to attend one day of Ms. Whitney's wellness retreat, the experience left a lasting impression of tranquility and connection. From the moment I arrived, the thoughtfully curated environment fostered a sense of peace and an opportunity to step away from the everyday.
The nature walk was a highlight, offering a truly tranquil experience. Taking a moment of silence amidst the natural beauty allowed for a deeper connection with the surroundings, and the unexpected sighting of a beaver dam added a touch of wonder to the experience.
The sound healing session was unlike anything I had experienced before. While initially "trippy," I found myself melting into a profound state of relaxation by the end. It truly shifted my headspace, leaving me feeling significantly more calm and centered.
Despite the initial chill, the lake offered a refreshing and invigorating experience. The simple act of laying in the grass afterward, warmed by the sun, was deeply relaxing and allowed for quiet contemplation.
However, the true magic of the retreat lay in the people and the atmosphere fostered by Ms. Whitney. It was inspiring to connect with so many fellow wellness practitioners and individuals deeply committed to their healing journeys. The palpable intentionality, the genuine focus on supporting one another, the immediate sense of closeness, and the collective willingness to step outside personal comfort zones created a truly special and supportive atmosphere. This was undoubtedly nurtured by Ms. Whitney's own willingness to participate in discussions with openness and vulnerability, which beautifully paved the way for others to feel safe enough to do the same.
It was evident that the host, Ms. Whitney, had meticulously thought of every detail. Everything was impeccably prepped, and her extensive knowledge about relaxation techniques and various paths to wellness shone through. The thoughtfully chosen house provided a wonderful backdrop for the retreat, and the activities offered were both fun and deeply thought-provoking.
My single day at Ms. Whitney's wellness retreat provided a powerful glimpse into a nurturing and transformative experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already eagerly anticipating the opportunity to attend the next one. If you're seeking a space for healing, connection, and a deeper dive into your own well-being, facilitated by a truly thoughtful and open host, this retreat comes highly recommended."

"I was truly transformed by the magical and nurturing men's and women's retreat that Whitney hosted. I joined the retreat as a facilitator and so I was able to see the incredible planning, intuition, and attention to detail that Whitney brought to the retreat and the many months leading up to it. The retreat was her child and she gave it her all, putting immense love, attention, and energy into every facet. Whitney took full responsibility for all people, situations, and activities that were a part of the energetic container while also allowing organic growth of connections and experiences. She is a master alchemist in this way. Beyond the retreat itself, Whitney is a fantastic healer, inuitive, artist, leader, and a bright light in this world. It is so easy to smile when you're around her. Along with these things, Whitney is a great cook and had us all in the kitchen helping with various parts of the meals, which was fun and rewarding on many levels. If you have even the smallest interest in attending one of her retreats, I would 100% recommend it. They are loaded with so much information, healing, connection, fun, and love that you will certainly come out fuller."
