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.
I'm Ready for the Journey →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.
HEART Stands For
❤️ Healing
❤️ Empowerment
❤️ Awareness
❤️ Resilience
❤️ Transformation
This is for you if you’re a ...
✅ Nurse or healer living with the effects of trauma or burnout
✅ Practitioner who’s great at helping others—but not yourself
✅ Clinician craving a different kind of reset: rooted, real, regenerative
✅ Professional who has ever whispered, “I can’t keep going like this…”
✅ Caregiver longing for a way to feel whole again
If you’re tired of powering through…
If you can feel something inside asking for repair…
You belong here.
Why Rooted HEART is Different
Healing isn't accidental. It is intentional.
And every moment of this intensive is purposefully designed for you.
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.

Testimonials
“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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently sought Christy's help as I navigate a career change. The modalities that she uses are painless and straightforward—no hours-long sessions with therapists. Christy helped me to get in touch with my subconscious mind, and I was subsequently able to address negative emotions that were holding me back.
I came away from the workshop with greatly reduced fears and anxiety, as well as tools to address negative emotions if they arise again. Christy was patient, war,m and caring during these sessions. Highly recommended. Thank you Christy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christy has an abundance of passion and energy the course work and helping her students discover their potential. The content and exercises were not only enlightening, but she made the course fun. The course helped me ctualize my goals and feel confident about my path forward. I highly recommend this course!
Sue Patterson
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christy's workshops are fabulous! I recommend them to all the parents I know.
Most of us never learned really simple ways to bring down our own anxiety or our kids' - and Christy has practical science-backed techniques we can implement right away! I love how she demystifies self-hypnosis.
Everyone can benefit from what Christy shares!
Lauri Beagle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christy is amazing! I have learned so much about hypnosis and NLP in a short time, and the experiential part of the workshop has been very powerful for me. I am inspired to learn more and to continue to use these tools for myself as well as to pass them on to my clients.
Dan Kruse
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christy is a wonderful coach. She came into my life at just the right moment. I was completely burned out in my nursing career and with uncontrolled anxiety due to front-line pandemic work. She validated and calmed me through hypnosis and guided imagery. She helped me to remember my strengths, that I have much to offer, and that there are so many opportunities out there. She implored me to remember gratitude for myself, my family, and the world around me. She helped empower me to find confidence and belief in myself, to find answers within myself, to move forward and thrive in my life. Forever grateful to you, Christy!
Mary Cohen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christy's "Unleash Your Hidden Potential" 2-day Goal-Getting workshop was a game-changer for me. Through Neurolinguistic Programming techniques like Time Line Therapy, combined with Hypnotherapy, Christy helped me tackle deep- seated emotions, such as anger and sadness, that were holding me back from my goals. The relief I now feel is hard to express. I didn't realize the impact these emotions had on my life until they were resolved. I'm experiencing a newfound freedom, lightness, and clarity that have positively affected every aspect of my life. Physically, I feel more energetic, less tense, and
My sleep has improved significantly. The change is real and welcomed, and I now feel ready and empowered to conquer my goals with renewed determination. Christy's workshop is a transformative experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to unleash their
hidden potential.

This reminds me of this past weekend with Christina Cowgill and Enter Into Calm - the ways in which our unconscious works for (and against) us, depending on our beliefs. Slowly working on changing my own limiting beliefs and connecting with myself as I bite more
One of my favorite parts of this last weekend was learning to trust myself. Trusting my own mind. Trusting my unconscious and conscious. Every moment felt so profound; each journey into my timeline had me releasing feelings I had held for so long.
If you feel like you need some guidance, connect with Christy and see if she can help. Hypnosis isn't scary, and you won't do things you don't want to do!
