Rest. Reconnect.

Remember Who You Are.

Sacred Pause Retreat: Sept 18-21, 2025 | Lake Placid (Guadalupe River), Texas

For women who give everything to everyone else — this is your moment. Three days of rest, healing, and deep connection on the Guadalupe River. Come home to yourself in the company of women who understand.

Only 8 women will join us — will you be one?

Imagine stepping away from the noise and finally exhaling — surrounded by nature, immersed in quiet, and guided back to the version of you who feels grounded, rested, and whole.

You’ve Been Holding It All Together for Too Long.

You’re tired, but it’s more than just physical.
It’s a deep, soul-level weariness no amount of sleep, meditation apps, or self-care routines can seem to touch.

Sacred Pause is your invitation to rest, release, and reconnect.

So you can go home lighter, nourished, and more alive.

Sacred Pause is your invitation to set it all down.

To breathe deeper.

To remember the version of you that existed before exhaustion became normal.

This retreat is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you already are — whole, wise, worthy.

Imagine waking up after three days by the river with a rested body, a calm mind, and a sense of joy you thought you’d lost.

Why Sacred Pause is Different

There are plenty of retreats that promise relaxation. Spa weekends, yoga getaways, wellness workshops. But Sacred Pause isn’t about escaping your life for a few days and then slipping right back into the same exhaustion.

What makes this retreat different is the way we work at the root. Instead of quick fixes or surface-level self-care, you’ll experience three powerful, science-backed and deeply restorative tools — Brainspotting, MBSA in the water, and 9D Breathwork. Together, they reach the nervous system patterns that have kept you running on fumes, so the release you feel here doesn’t fade when you return home.

This isn’t about distraction. It’s about real restoration. A rare blend of gentle practices and immersive healing that creates lasting change — the kind you can feel in your body, your energy, and your relationships long after you leave.

Here’s what you’ll leave with:

  • Wake up with energy that lasts…not just ‘less tired,’ but truly restored.

  • Simple tools to release stress you didn’t realize you were carrying.

  • A nervous system reset you can actually feel in your bones.

  • Connection with women who get it — no small talk, just real.

  • Permission to stop “doing it all” and simply breathe.

Here’s what women say after working with us:

“After working with Jennie, I felt lighter, like a weight I’d been carrying for years had finally lifted.”

“It was like I could finally breathe again and so much of the stress and heaviness I didn’t even realize I was holding onto just disappeared.”

“The day after our session, I noticed I wasn’t as drained. I had the energy to get things done without overthinking.”

“I feel like Humpty Dumpty and Melanie puts me back together again”

"This breathwork helped me access something deeper. It allowed me to release things I didn't even realize I was still holding. And it reminded me what truly matters, deep down."

📍 Where: Guadalupe River, Texas
📅 When: September 18–21, 2025
👭 Who: Just 8 women, ready to stop pushing through and start feeling whole again

This retreat is intentionally small so every woman has space to breathe.

That means only 8 spots total — and they will fill. (only 6 spots left)

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “fixing yourself.”

It’s about remembering who you already are — whole, wise, and worthy.

Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s how you come back home more present, more alive, and more you.

Say Yes to Rest.

Your Investment in Renewal

When you pause, heal, and reconnect in a space designed just for you, the ripple effects touch everything…your health, your relationships, your creativity, your work.

  • “Sleep more deeply.”

  • “Stop snapping at the people you love.”

  • “Feel energized and clear-headed again.”

  • “Finally break the cycle of running on fumes.”

Everything included in this retreat — the private sessions, the immersive 9D Breathwork, the meals, the riverside lodging — would easily cost far more if booked individually.

But this isn’t about piecemeal services. It’s about an integrated reset designed to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more connected than you’ve felt in years. That transformation is priceless, but your investment is simple.
