We are officially in Bali. 🌿

Our first retreat of 2026.
And yes, we’re back in Bali again.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it’s pretty.
But because it works.

Here’s the real question:
Should therapists only rest
Or should they grow while they rest?

This week, we’re doing both.
Intentional rest.
Structured development.
CE credits.
Community.
Expansion.
Because burnout recovery is reactive.
Growth is proactive.

And after 13+ sold-out retreats, we’ve learned something powerful:
Therapists don’t just need time off.
They need environments designed for them.
This isn’t a vacation.
It’s a growth container.
Bali 2026 starts today.

And if history tells us anything.
The next ones won’t stay open for long.

🌍 If you’ve ever thought, “I need something like this”,this is your sign.

Sedona and Paris are still available for 2026 retreat registration.

If you're looking into the future then our upcoming 2027 retreat: Japan, Spain, Greece, Peru, South Africa and Italy are officially filling out

Reach out if you have any questions.

THERAPIST ON A VACATION VS THERAPIST AT A RETREAT 👀

Therapist on vacation:
• “I’m off the clock.”
• Reads one light novel.
• Turns off notifications.
• Sleeps. Eats. Repeats.
• Accidentally gives coping skills to the hotel receptionist.

Therapist at a retreat:
• “I’m technically working, but also healing?”
• Earns CE credits in the morning.
• Journals overlooking mountains.
• Has deep conversations by sunset.
• Processes burnout before it becomes a diagnosis.
• Comes home lighter, clearer, and 3 breakthroughs richer.

Vacation helps you rest.
Retreats help you reset.
One is escape.

The other is expansion.

Both are valid.

But only one counts toward your CE hours. 😉
If you’ve ever said “I need a break” but meant “I need a shift”…
You already know the difference

The most successful therapists don’t choose retreats based on pretty locations.
They choose based on growth.
🌍 South Africa – Eco-Art Therapy meets wildlife immersion. Trauma training woven into nature and embodied experience.
🌍 Italy – Clinical depth, meaningful dialogue, and expansion in an inspiring setting.
🌍 Peru – Cultural immersion that stretches your clinical lens.
🌍 Greece – Restoration + advanced learning by the sea.
🌍 Spain – Energizing collaboration and professional growth.
🌍 Japan – Structured, intentional training blended with cultural precision and depth.
These aren’t random destinations.
They’re designed environments for transformation.
If you’re thinking ahead to 2027…
You’re exactly who this is for.

WHY I HOST THESE RETREAT ✨
(Sold Out more than 13 successful Retreats)

I didn’t start hosting retreats because I wanted to create events.
I started because I kept seeing how often therapists and helpers were expected to give endlessly without being given space to pause, reflect, and be held themselves.
What makes these retreats different isn’t just the destinations or locations though gathering in places rich with culture and history matters. It’s the intention behind how everything is woven together.

Learning doesn’t only happen in training rooms.
It happens during shared meals after long days.
In conversations that start as professional and become deeply human.
In moments of laughter, quiet reflection, and mutual understanding.

Every retreat is thoughtfully designed to blend clinical growth, cultural immersion, and personal renewal. The content shifts with the destination, but the heart remains the same.

Creating an environment where therapists can learn deeply, connect meaningfully, and return home changed in ways that truly matter.
I’m reminded that what stays with us long after the journey ends isn’t just what we learned, it’s who we became in the process and the community that formed along the way.
So grateful for these moments, these places, and the people who continue to show up with openness, curiosity, and heart 🤍

If you’ve been longing for a space where learning and being held coexist, this community may be for you.
You’re always welcome to reach out with questions

Next week we are about to officially open our Retreats destinations this year with Bali

2026 is already shaping up to be a year of intentional growth ✨
From deep resets to bold expansion, our retreats this year are designed to meet you exactly where you are and gently (or boldly 😉) move you forward.
🌄 Sedona 2026
This is where you don’t just attend a retreat…
you learn how to host and own your own retreat.
Sedona is about clarity, confidence, and stepping into leadership.
You’ll gain real guidance, practical frameworks, and the belief that yes, you can do this too.
🇫🇷 Paris 2026
Paris is a different kind of experience by design.
It’s not all-inclusive, giving you the freedom to choose how you participate.
What’s included:
✨ Training with Dr. Paulsen (CE option)
🚤 Group river cruise
🧘🏽‍♀️ Morning wellness workshops
🍽️ Two group lunches
Not attending the training?
You can still join us for the cruise, wellness workshops, and group lunches.
Two destinations.
Two very different experiences.
One powerful year of investing in yourself and yes, it can look like a vacation ✈️✨
