About Us and the Retreat...

This retreat is designed to be a safe haven for those of us mothers that have suffered the loss of a child.  Sadly if you are reading this you may understand the  importance of having someone that can empathize and share with you on the same level of loss that we have experienced.  After suffering through the loss of our son, I very quickly realized how important support was for me from people that truly understood my grief.  Having created my own group of amazing "mothers", and participating in other bereaved mothers' retreats, I knew I needed to share my experience with others. 

We have created the weekend retreat for bereaved mothers to be nurtured and also show/teach them the benefits and value of self care. It is so important to allow yourself to be supported by others in a peaceful, safe, and comforting environment.  Sharing your grief with others that truly understand you is a huge part of self care in this journey that we are all now on.
​
Joining us for the retreat is Kimberly Ryan who is well educated in meditation and alternative health modalities.  Kimberly sadly shares in our grief after the sudden loss of her son Matthew at the age of 27.  She now uses her knowledge and wellness background to help other bereaved mothers with self care and comfort.
Give yourself permission to enjoy a weekend of pampering and various organized activities. Please contact us with any and all questions.  We are here for you and wish to support you on this incredibly difficult journey.
