Dr. Kelly Turner ’s RADICAL REMISSION research identified 10 KEY HEALING FACTORS that were common among people who experienced unexpected recoveries from cancer (and other serious illnesses).
Her findings are based on analyzing over a thousand cases of remission across many cultures and healing approaches.
Dr. Turner found that these factors work synergistically, addressing body, mind, emotion, and spirit, to create the internal environment where healing can occur.
All of the studied individuals with radical remissions embraced ALL 10 of these factors and lifestyle changes.
Some individuals did these 10 things along WITH conventional treatment, some did these things AFTER conventional treatments had failed, and some did these things WITHOUT conventional treatments.
Here are the 10 Healing Factors she identified:
1. Radically Changing Their Diet
•Most survivors shifted toward a diet rich in whole, plant-based, organic foods and eliminated processed foods, sugar, dairy, meat, and refined grains. The focus was on supporting the body’s natural healing systems and reducing inflammation.
2. Taking Control of Their Own Health
•They became active participants in their healing through researching, making decisions, and trusting their intuition about which treatments and approaches to pursue.
3. Following Their Own Intuition
•Many described receiving inner guidance through dreams, meditation, prayer, or intuition that helped them make choices about treatment, relationships, or life direction.
Many had to distance themselves from friends, family, and even doctors who disagreed with their choices.
4. Using Herbs and Supplements
•They supported their immune systems with specific herbs, vitamins, and supplements often customized with the help of integrative practitioners.

We cannot heal shame by shaming it.
This creates more shame and more hiding.
The only way to truly heal shame is to love it.
Yes, love it. Bring it into the light of love.
Allow it to be seen. Allow it to be heard.
Allow it to be felt. Allow it to breathe.
Meet it with compassion,
as if you’re meeting a terrified little child.
Because you are.

UPDATE! This was formerly going to be a co-ed retreat for men and women. However, due to no registrations from men at this time, it has shifted to a women’s emotional healing + embodiment retreat.
*Updated as of 10/10/25
I still have spots available if you feel called!
This retreat is for women who are ready to:
•Reconnect to their bodies
•Release repressed emotions and dissolve old patterns that keep them stuck
•Reconnect with their inner child and rediscover joy, play, and freedom
•Reconnect to their sacred feminine energy
•Heal wounds of the heart, body, and spirit through powerful somatic and experiential practices
•Reclaim their voice, their boundaries, and their authentic power
•Stop avoiding and running from their pain (creating more pain) and ready to face it with courage
•Connect with a supportive community of women walking the same path of transformation

Emotions that we will be diving deep into:
-Grief
