Because Those Who Heal Deserve Healing Too
A 5-night immersive intensive where nurses release trauma, restore balance, and rebuild resilience through breath-work, ritual, somatic journey, creativity, & nature—
—a one-of-a-kind experience designed for Nurses, led by Nurses, and offering 46 contact hours.
What Is Rooted HEART Resilience?
This is not simply a retreat. It’s a healing-centered, immersive experience designed specifically for nurses who’ve carried too much, too long.
Whether you're navigating PTSD, compassion fatigue, burnout, or simply the call to come home to yourself—this experience offers you space to breathe, reconnect, and root deeply.
You’ll be held in a safe environment by a deeply skilled, multi-disciplinary team - from somatic practitioners, sound healers, culinary experts, herbalists, and nurse leaders - all here for trauma recovery, emotional renewal, and nervous system support—in a sacred space surrounded by nature, ancestry, stillness, and compassion.

Why Rooted HEART is Different
Here's the Thing...
Most retreats help you relax.
❤️ This intensive helps you heal.
Most programs offer self-care tips.
❤️ This intensive teaches your body how to regulate, restore, and release trauma.
Many retreats skim the surface.
❤️ This one goes to the root—because nurses carry too much for shallow work.
Other offerings give temporary relief.
❤️ This intensive provides a full arc of support: including 3 grounding pre-intensive call, the 5 night immersion, and 3 post-intensive integration sessions.
Nurses don’t need ...
another pretty retreat or another schedule full of distractions.
What they do need is a safe, expertly facilitated space to finally set down what they’ve been carrying.
Here, you’re held by practitioners who understand:
- trauma
- nervous system repair
- emotional & spiritual load of nursing
- and the real process of healing
This is where nervous systems recalibrate, emotional knots unwind, and deep repair begins.
Healing isn't accidental.
It is intentional.
And every moment of this intensive is purposefully designed for you.

“The Deep Repair
My Body Was Asking For”
"I’ve done retreats, workshops, CE conferences—you name it. Nothing has ever touched me the way this did. This experience wasn’t surface-level relaxation; it was deep repair.
For the first time, I felt safe enough to let my body unwind the things I’ve carried from years of trauma, code reds, and emotional load. The team held us with such skill—it was unlike anything I’ve experienced.
I left feeling regulated, grounded, and restored. It was deeply restorative in the truest sense of the word."*
— Amanda L., MSN, RN
“Life-Giving in a Way I Didn’t Know I Needed”
"I came exhausted in a way sleep couldn’t fix. I’ve been a nurse for 18 years, and somewhere along the way I lost my spark. By the second day, something shifted—my nervous system finally exhaled. The somatic work, the safety of the space, the way the faculty actually saw me… it was life-giving in a way I didn’t know I needed.
This wasn’t a retreat. It was restoration. I returned home lighter, clearer, and with a sense of aliveness I thought was gone forever. Rooted HEART gave me myself back."*
— Sarah R., RN, BSN
Disclaimer
Rooted HEART Resilience is a new, expanded immersive intensive launching in 2026.
While this 5-night format is new, our faculty have been facilitating **similar—but shorter—programs, trauma-informed workshops, and restorative nursing experiences for years.
The nurse testimonials shared on this page reflect experiences from those earlier, shorter offerings and the healing impact participants consistently reported.
We fully expect that the depth, spaciousness, and comprehensive arc of this new intensive will offer an experience that is equal to—or even more transformative than—what nurses have expressed in the past.
We look forward to your voice becoming part of this growing community of healing stories.
