“Working with Elise has been transformative in more ways than I ever imagined. She has helped me understand and access the ancient wisdom that exists within my own body, allowing me to move through my days more ease-fully and navigate challenging relationships and conversations with compassion and calm. If you're stuck in "fight, flight, or freeze" and you're ready for a more serene and sustainable approach to life, then I highly recommend Elise as your gentle, insightful, and compassionate guide.”
You're made of magic, Dear Woman, and you're ready to feel aliveness in your body once again.
You're ready to pause and hear your thoughts for once ~ to stop the cycles of over-giving, people pleasing and neglecting your own needs. You're ready to express your WHOLE truth.
You're ready to be seen and heard, to let your aura glow beyond your edges, past all that tries to hold you back.
You're ready for some deeply restorative, healing time in paradise
with ~ YOU.
This retreat will change everything...
How you see yourself.
How you treat yourself.
How you speak to yourself.
Be held in deep connection in a sacred circle of sisterhood through adventure, soulful healing circles and life-changing conversations.
Soulful spiritual inquiry. Life changing and affirming ceremonies, all held in a trauma informed space.
Feel supported unlike anything you've ever experienced before in extraordinary coaching circles with a master Leadership & Communication Coach.
Speak your truth. What makes your heart sing? What are you ready to step away from? What truths are you ready to share with the world?
YIELD into deep rest, so your body can rejuvenate and heal.
Deeply honour a fearless exploration of self, so you can remember WHO YOU ARE on a cellular level.
Tap into the wisdom of your body, so you can come out of survival mode and move past just going through the motions.
"After The Resounding Woman Retreat, my creativity came back online! Now, with a regulated nervous system, anything feels possible!"
I received the kind of love, support and tools I can bring home with me and really, anywhere I am. I have a sense of peace in my mind, heart and body in a way I haven't felt before. IT FEELS LASTING!"
Elise is a Radical Supportress, Holder of Brave Spaces, A Possibilitarian, and Relentless Believer In The Power Of Your Voice ...
As a Leadership and Communication Coach, she helps women in leadership, entrepreneurs, creatives, and thought leaders trade living in survival mode and pushing themselves beyond their capacity, for trusting the wisdom of their body for a more sustainable, way of living.
Oh, and she will help you speak your truth!
She will help you embrace your truth, trust the wisdom of your body, and feel safe to fully express Who You Are.

Our daily schedule is grounded, spacious and mindful of one thing, first and foremost... your nervous system. We will allow time and space for everything to unfold exactly how it should be.
This is a deep invitation to a type of self connection that will help you see the parts of you that have been begging for attention.
We'll commune in Synergy's spacious yet cozy common area for delicious hand-made-with-love meals and snacks.
We'll have connection and coaching circles in the open air yoga loft or in one of the many comfy nooks around the retreat property.
We'll have a delicious sound healing journey while floating in the pool. Yes. I said while-floating-in-the-pool.
We'll frolic at the ocean beach, paint our bodies with healing clay on the river's edge and sip healing, heart opening cacao.
While your RW experience will sometimes feel otherworldly, it will also leave you feeling alive, embodying a sense of peace, and like you can move forward from moments of stress with a spaciousness inside of you.
This is the day we arrive at the beautiful Synergy Retreat Centre in Uvita. We will have ground transportation arranged from a meeting point in San Jose at 11:00am. Once everyone has arrived and settled in, we will share a delicious supper and have an informal intro circle before a luxe slumber in your cozy bed, for the week.
This is the reclamation! Workshops, body based practices, sacred ceremonies and healing journeys all centred around this year's theme: "I AM ENOUGH". There will be plenty of play, rest, and soulful connection sprinkled into retreat week. Think: beach play, cultural visits, and adventure in the land of Pura Vida!
It's not "goodbye", it's "be seeing you". Today, you will pack up your new found confidence, healed parts and knowledge and start the journey home (or on to more travel!) To make your exit from Resounding Woman Land as painless as possible, we will have pre-arranged transportation back to the airport. Check out time is 11:00am.
We are happy to split your retreat fees into equal payments up to 45 days before the retreat start date.

"My friend encouraged me to join the most recent Resounding Woman Retreat, and even though I didn't know what it was about, I felt very welcome.
I was able to workshop my current challenges and learn how to protect myself and believe in myself down my road ahead".
