How is Audrey's approach different?
Audrey designs each retreat to be intentionally intimate, provide sacred containers for sharing, support, and deep connection. Audrey is a wounded healer, she walks the talk—her story of surviving abuse, recovery, and rebuilding a life of purpose is infused in everything she offers with authenticity and relatability. In her words "I recover outloud."
