LIVE YOUR BLISS: RETREAT FOLLOW UP SUPPORT


Creating lasting change is not an accident. To help you integrate what you explored & experienced, follow-up coaching is available to keep your momentum going once you return home.

In order to keep the magic and transformation that you experienced, you're going to need support to continue the shift. It's just the reality of the situation: our longing for change and our desire to maintain it once back in the life that created the stress is mismatched. Habit, pattern, and social pressure wins. 99% of the time.

Increase your chances of maintaining your shifts of awareness and changes in being by supporting yourself to make it so. Add 3 follow up sessions (available to use for the entire year) to your retreat, so you know someone else has your back (me!)

This package includes  3 follow up sessions to fine tune what you received on retreat, to make implementing lifestyle adjustments and help keep you on track. (Because we all lose focus after breakthrough experiences. It's how we are wired.)
