I Created the Sober Retreat I Needed But Couldn’t Find
If you’re searching for “sober retreats for women” or wondering if a healing space like this could change your life, I see you.
For years, I carried quiet exhaustion in my body and a loud war in my mind. I wanted to stop drinking, to feel whole again… but I also didn’t want to sit in another cold circle of folding chairs under fluorescent lights.
I didn’t need more shame. I needed space.
I needed a safe, nourishing, soul-centered place to rest, reconnect, and finally come home to myself.
That’s why I created my own women's sobriety retreats — trauma-informed recovery-centered, and infused with the real-life healing tools I’ve used to help hundreds of women walk away from alcohol and into self-trust.
What Are Sober Retreats for Women?
Let’s clarify what a sober retreat is, because it’s not about rules or restrictions. It’s about reclamation.
A sober retreat is an immersive, alcohol-free getaway designed to help you:
Recharge your nervous system
Heal emotional wounds
Reconnect with your true self
Learn trauma-informed recovery tools
Be surrounded by women who get it
These aren’t vacation spa weekends or rigid boot camps. These are soft, strong spaces to rest and rise.
Whether you’re newly sober, sober-curious, or working toward long-term recovery, this is a space for you.
Why a Sober Retreat is a Life-Altering Experience
Here’s the truth:
Most women don’t just need to stop drinking. They need to start healing.
And healing doesn’t happen in chaos. It happens in stillness.
It happens in a sacred space.
It happens when you step away from your day-to-day and say,
"I deserve more than survival."
That’s exactly what a sobriety retreat is for.

The Power of a Women-Only Recovery Retreat
One of the most powerful things I’ve ever witnessed is what happens when sober women come together.
We drop our masks.
We stop explaining ourselves.
We laugh, cry, scream, breathe — and no one flinches.
A women-only space allows us to explore trauma, healing, and identity in ways that mixed-gender recovery often can’t provide.
That’s why my women’s sobriety retreats are designed exclusively for women — because the healing is different when we’re in sisterhood.
If you’ve been searching for a women’s trauma retreat near me, this is the sacred space you’ve been looking for.
Why Retreats Heal What Weekly Meetings Cannot
Daily life is filled with distractions, noise, and pressure. Even if you're part of sober groups, the healing often stays surface-level.
A retreat, by contrast, allows you to:
Detox your environment
Be guided through somatic and emotional practices
Deepen your understanding of trauma, boundaries, and self-compassion
Reset your nervous system in nature
Practice sobriety in real-time, without alcohol triggers
In other words, a retreat recovery experience offers integration, not just inspiration.
The Difference Between a Sobriety Retreat and a Vacation
While sober vacations or sober trips are amazing for fun, a sobriety retreat is about transformation.
You’re not just relaxing — you’re releasing.
You’re not just escaping life — you’re reclaiming it.
You leave changed.
That’s why more women are seeking sober retreats near me — because healing is no longer optional. It’s necessary.
Who Are Sober Retreats For?
Let’s bust a myth:
You don’t need to be “fully sober” to come.
I created my retreats for all women who are:
Sober curious
In early recovery
Long-term sober, but feel stuck
Battling emotional exhaustion or burnout
Carrying unhealed trauma
Longing for connection, purpose, and peace
Whether you’ve done alcohol recovery retreats before or this is your first experience, you belong here.
What Happens at a Women’s Sobriety Retreat?
Every sober retreat I host is built on the same foundational pillars:
1. Trauma-Informed Support
Because so much of addiction is rooted in unresolved pain.
We explore how trauma lives in the body — and how to gently release it using grounding techniques, breathwork, and nervous system regulation.
These are not therapy sessions. These are healing sessions, led by me — a sober coach trained in trauma-sensitive recovery work.
This is what women mean when they search for a trauma recovery retreat — a space to feel safe enough to soften.
2. Emotional Healing & Inner Work
You’ll experience:
Guided journaling
Mind-body exercises
Group processing circles
Visualization and intention-setting
You’ll walk away with emotional tools you can use long after the retreat ends, just like those found in emotional healing retreats.
3. Movement & Rest
We use simple, accessible practices like:
Morning meditations
Restorative movement
Nature walks
Sound healing
You don’t need to be “fit” to participate — this is about reconnecting with your body in a kind, gentle way, just like the promise of a self-help retreat.
4. Connection & Community
This is the heart of it all.
These aren’t surface-level conversations.
These are “me too” moments.
These are deep, safe bonds formed around shared stories.
Just like women’s recovery retreats near you, the real healing comes from being seen without judgment.
5. Integration Planning
One of the most important parts of the retreat happens at the end, when we create your post-retreat plan.
Because healing doesn’t stop when you return home.
I help you map out your next 30 days of sober support, boundaries, practices, and connection.
That’s why women say this is more than a retreat recovery experience — it’s a turning point.
If you’ve been wondering what this looks like in real life — what it truly feels like to step into a sober space, to rest and rise, to heal in sisterhood — let me show you exactly what’s possible.
