Wellness Retreats

Reconnect. Recharge. Rediscover what matters.

Sometimes the most meaningful changes happen when we step away from the distractions of everyday life and create space to focus on ourselves.

My wellness retreats are designed to provide a peaceful environment where you can learn, grow, and connect with others who share a desire to live healthier, more intentional lives. Through evidence-based education, delicious whole food, plant-based meals, gentle movement, meaningful conversations, and time spent in nature, each retreat is thoughtfully created to leave you feeling refreshed, inspired, and empowered.

Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to deepen the lifestyle you've already built, these experiences are designed to meet you where you are and provide practical tools you can take home with you.

During a typical retreat, you can expect:

• Evidence-based wellness education and cooking demonstrations.

• Delicious whole food, plant-based meals and snacks

• Guided nature walks and opportunities to reconnect outdoors

• Time to relax, reflect, and recharge away from everyday distractions

• A welcoming community of people who encourage and support one another

Looking for something more personal?

If you already have a group of approximately 8 to 12 adults who would enjoy a wellness weekend together, I'd love to help you create a customized private retreat. Whether you're gathering friends, family, coworkers, or members of an organization, we can work together to design an experience tailored to your group's goals, interests, and pace.

Special Events

Join me at upcoming community events throughout the year.

One of my favorite parts of Plant Powered Initiative is the opportunity to connect with people face-to-face. Throughout the year, you'll find me participating in health awareness events, community gatherings, expos, and educational experiences that bring people together around the shared goal of living healthier lives.

Whether I'm hosting an event, partnering with another organization, or participating as a featured speaker or exhibitor, I'd love the opportunity to meet you, answer your questions, and continue the conversation in person.

The Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign is a global initiative developed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) to educate communities about evidence-based lifestyle choices that may help reduce the risk of breast cancer.

This local event is part of that worldwide movement, bringing our community together to learn about PCRM's four pillars of breast cancer prevention: moving your body more, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and eating a healthy plant-based diet.

Through inspiring speakers, educational resources, community connection, and practical strategies for healthier living, this event empowers participants with knowledge they can use to make informed decisions about their health.

The Plant Based Peoria Expo is one of Central Illinois' premier annual events celebrating the benefits of plant-based living. Each year, the Expo brings together physicians, dietitians, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and community members for a day of education, inspiration, and connection.

I'll be there with a Plant Powered Initiative booth where you can learn more about my coaching programs, upcoming classes, wellness retreats, and community events. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking for additional resources, I'd love the opportunity to meet you and answer your questions.

I'm also honored to be serving as a featured panelist during this year's Expert Panel discussion, where I'll join other local professionals to share evidence-based information and answer audience questions about plant-based living and healthy lifestyles.

If you're planning to attend the Expo, be sure to stop by and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you!
