Testimonials

"I feel like the retreat was a very healing experience. I was able to experience a lot of healing modalities that I may have never gotten the chance to had I not attended the retreat. The retreat provided the space to decompress and discover areas that I needed to focus on healing."

- Rasheeda

“For me this experience was life changing. It was so beneficial in so many ways. In the days and weeks following the retreat, i felt more in connection with nature and it inspired me to want to know more and to learn how to recommend these special modalities to my friends and family to experience. I lit a fire in me and now I'm so much more mindful of my overall wellness and self care in a daily basis. I find myself adding little things in learned into the lives of those around me. Learning what it means to be more intentional in my thoughts and actions is showing up in the overall quality of my life. Thank you Heart Center.”
