REST & DIGEST
A Holistic Therapeutic Intensive
in
Cabrera a town of the Dominican Republic
Escape to the lush, coastal haven of Cabrera in the Dominican Republic for a week of deep restoration designed to reset your nervous system and reconnect you with yourself.
This intensive trauma-focused experience blends evidence-based therapy with embodied healing practices—all held poolside in a serene, private setting surrounded by tropical beauty.
Over the course of the week, you’ll be guided through:
Daily Trauma-Focused Therapy Sessions – Personalized and intentional work to gently release what the body has been holding.
Yoga & Somatic Movement – Slow, nervous-system–attuned practices to create safety, softness, and spaciousness in your body.
Meditation & Breathwork – Regulate, ground, and reset your mind-body connection with practices designed to support trauma healing.
Poolside Integration & Restorative Time – Float, lounge, journal, and digest your breakthroughs in the soothing Caribbean climate.
Cabrera offers the perfect backdrop: ocean breezes, lush greenery, and a pace of life that invites you to breathe deeper. This isn’t a vacation—it’s a supported nervous system retreat where healing is intentional, immersive, and held with care.
If your body is craving regulation, rest, and release… this is your invitation to finally exhale.

For the past eight years, I’ve walked side-by-side with others in the world of therapy and healing—holding space, guiding transformation, and honoring every step of the journey. My work has led me far beyond the office, into sacred landscapes and retreats across the globe. From Egypt to the Caribbean and beyond, travel has been one of my greatest teachers, expanding my understanding of spiritual growth, ancestral wisdom, and the many ways people heal. I’m deeply passionate about meditation, soulful connection, and creating spaces where others can reconnect with themselves. Retreats, personal exploration, and my love for travel continue to shape how I show up—as a therapist, guide, and forever student of the healing arts.
