STATESIDE | AUTUMN 2026


 

Retreats with Better Wellness Naturally
 

Maybe you're feeling stuck. Maybe life just shattered—through loss, burnout, upheaval, or change. You're doing your best to hold it together, but it’s clear you need something different.
 

We can help.
 

These retreats are not vacations. They’re immersive, healing experiences—held in a grounded, structured, and deeply supportive environment designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, stability, and strength.
 

What to Expect at Our Retreats
 

Led by trauma recovery therapist Dr. Laura Weber Garrison, Ph.D., and a team of seasoned, highly trained facilitators, our retreats offer:

• A safe, inclusive, and non-performative environment

• Accessible healing experiences for all sizes, skill levels, and ages

• A culture rooted in honesty, humor, structure, and deep care

​

About the Empowered Transitions Retreat Programs

​

Our immersive retreats always include:

​

• Individual and group support

• Experiential workshops on grief, trauma, nervous system recovery, and more

• Restorative movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices

• A trauma-informed arc of preparation, immersion, and integration

We emphasize education, body-based healing, emotional honesty, and peer connection.

 

You’ll have time to process, reflect, and recalibrate—without forced sharing, spiritual pageantry, or one-size-fits-all formulas.

​

What You’ll Learn

​

At Better Wellness Naturally, our work helps clients:

• Understand and regulate their nervous system

• Build emotional resilience and mental clarity

• Improve strength, flexibility, and internal awareness

• Reconnect with parts of themselves they’ve had to hide or silence

• ​

We work through the Four Quadrants: Mind, Body, Emotion, and Intellect. You’ll learn how to shift out of chronic fight-or-flight patterns and into a more balanced, adaptive, and life-affirming state.

​

The Yoga we offer is gentle, floor-based, and deeply restorative. The Yoga you'll find on retreats with us is supportive, not performative.

​

You’ll Leave With:

​

• Practical tools to support integration and post-retreat change

• A recalibrated nervous system

• Clarity around your needs, patterns, and path forward

• A deeper connection to yourself—and a strong container of support

​​

What’s Included:

​

• A world-class staff of trauma-informed, heart-centered professionals

• 3 plant-based gourmet meals + snacks, coffee, and drinks daily

• Daily workshops, immersive experiences, restorative yoga, and mindful movement (plus 30 CEUs for Yoga Professionals)

• Pre-Retreat Clarity Session and assignments to personalize your experience

• A group follow-up session post-retreat via Zoom

• All printed materials, a personalized binder, and a great gift bag

​​

Not included: Travel to and from the retreat location and optional wellness services

​

This is a place for real work, deep healing, and genuine transformation—held in a space where your nervous system is respected, your truth is welcome, and your path is honored.
