Why I Said Yes to a Month of Healing and Empowerment—and How It Will Deepen My Work as a Wellness Practitioner…

Recently, I made a decision that felt both exhilarating and terrifying.

I said yes to a healing retreat and empowerment practitioner training—something I’ve dreamed of, but never thought I’d actually give myself permission to do. It was well beyond what made “sense” financially, and it meant taking a full month away from the day-to-day flow of homelife, work and income. I felt nervous. Selfish. Even guilty.

But here’s what I’ve come to understand:

Healing doesn’t always make logical sense. Growth rarely fits into neat boxes. Sometimes, our soul whispers something so softly that only when we quiet the noise of obligation and routine can we truly hear it.

I chose to listen.

As a functional wellness practitioner, I guide others in tending to the root—of imbalance, burnout, disconnection. And yet, here I was, invited to tend to my own roots in a deeper, more profound way. This journey isn’t just about learning new tools (though I know I will). It’s about embodying the very practices I encourage in others: honoring the body’s wisdom, trusting intuition, and creating space for transformation.

Will it change how I work? Most likely. Will it deepen the way I serve? Absolutely.

I don’t yet know all the ways this experience will unfold, but I trust it will infuse my work with even more integrity, softness, and embodied wisdom. And I’m so excited to bring that back into the spaces we share.

Thank you for walking this path with me.

With love and trust in the process,
