What People Are Saying...
FAQs
FAQs
The healing experience of emotional relief is something participants say they've never felt before. Many describe trauma, pain & tension leaving their body that have been with them for decades.
But that's only the beginning. The other unique thing about our retreats is the aftercare that help you maintain the changes into your everyday life (learn more below).
Most people leave our retreats feeling lighter, empowered, and reconnected to their inner joy. Once home, many find they no longer get upset by the same triggers they had for years.
Relationships naturally shift as people feel more secure and at peace. This can open up all the possibilities life can offer.
Each day usually starts with 30 minutes of gentle Qigong movement with Stefanie.
Then we dive into healing work to release the source of your pain in a safe space.
Meditation, music, and movement is woven in throughout the experience.
There's also free time for nature, relaxation, spa treatments, and more.
Some retreats have options for private sessions with Brett.
Brett asks intuitive questions to gently surface the source of your pain, often stemming from childhood and older memories buried deep in our subconscious
You repeat channeled affirmations to open your heart, reclaim your power, and release the pain.
These affirmations hold the opposite frequency of the pain, and reconnect you with your higher self and source energy. Participants often feel powerful waves of self-love throughout their body,.
As one person lets go, others experience release as well.
I do my very best to get out of the way to let your spirit guide me in what to say to release the old pain from your body, mind and soul. The healing has to do with guidance that your spirit has simply been waiting to bring you.
My favorite part of the work is witnessing waves of unconditional self-love heal people from the inside out. You are forever reconnected with your essence. This experience becomes part of who you are, and you can access it again and again.
Music, movement and meditation help support & anchor the emotional transformation and reconnect you with joy and freedom.
Gentle morning Qigong helps ground you in the feeling of being safe, open, and present. Guided meditations help you release tension, align the psyche, and stay in touch with your center.
All movement sessions are optional and have modifications if needed.
This is one of the most unique parts of our retreats. Many people leave a retreat feeling amazing, only to get triggered soon after they're home back to their same feelings.
After our retreat, you have a complimentary 6-months access to the Stress Is Gone Membership that includes:
- Daily Live Meditations & Movement Classes (with replays)
- 1 Live Training Per Week
- Monthly Laser Coaching Calls on Zoom
- 50% Off Private Coaching
- The SIG Masterclass & Mobile App
This retreat is for anyone who is overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or traumatic memories and ready to let go.
We always have a diverse group (who connect in the most incredible way!), usually a mix of women & men from their 20's to 70's (unless a gender-specific retreat).
We also get many veterans, first responders, mental health professionals, etc.
Many come knowing they have trauma, grief, or pain to release. Others want to get unstuck and reconnect to joy and self-love.
If you're feeling any of these, this retreat is definitely for you:
- Overwhelming anxiety, doubt and fear
- Depressed, disconnected, alone
- Pain from heartache or lost loved ones
- Traumatic memories that block you from feeling empowered, confident and happy
- Painful family situations
- Recent life changes or things feeling out of your control
- Traumatic memories that block you from feeling empowered, confident and happy
