What's included in The Vitality Shift Retreat?

1. Holistic Rehab / Prehab Techniques

By creating this foundation of inner stillness, you’ll tap into greater intuition, insight, and creative genius—essential for breakthroughs and strategic decisions in high-pressure environments.

4. Human Potential and Mindset Workshops

Dive into powerful coaching designed to pinpoint and dismantle hidden blocks, break free from self-sabotaging habits like procrastination and perfectionism, and refine your leadership style with insights from the Enneagram.
