My Story
Hi, my name is Mel, and I am the founder of Restoration Retreat. The idea of Restoration Retreat came about after I experienced many life-changing events that brought me to a point where I had to restore my body, mind, spirit, and soul. After leaving a toxic relationship and subsequently undergoing emergency surgery, I was told I would likely be unable to have children. It was the perfect time to truly focus on my own healing journey.
​
For the first time in my life, I was truly listening to my body and realized that it was unhealthy to operate at the pace I had been. I had been working as a Property Coach in the real estate industry for over 10 years, putting in a minimum of 50-60 hours a week.
​
While recovering from my surgery, trying to comprehend the prospect of never being a mother, and figuring out my next steps, I watched Netflix to pass the time. I came across "Sex, Love & Goop" with Gwyneth Paltrow, featuring Michaela Boehm. I had seen Michaela's work before and had always been interested in it. Seeing her again reignited a fire in me. I instantly decided that I wanted to meet her and work with her somehow. I wanted her to be my teacher and help me navigate this new industry that was completely new to me. (You can read more about Michaela's amazing work here).
​
At that time, many people around me were on the brink of divorce. I could see they loved each other but were lacking intimacy, connection, and communication. After going through my own healing journey, I realized how passionate I was about helping others heal themselves and helping couples rekindle their love and connection, reigniting joy, playfulness, and intimacy.
​
Fast forward three years, and I am in the relationship I always dreamed of having. I am a mother to my little girl, Luna. I am also a Self-Directed Healing Practitioner, and I had the incredible opportunity to have Michaela as my teacher for both "The Wild Woman’s Way Circle" Practitioner Training and "Intimacy and Connection Couples" Practitioner Training.
​
Now, I get to help others every day. As a Self-Directed Healing Practitioner, I help individuals heal themselves. I also hold women's circles, bringing women together monthly, and I host retreats to help couples reconnect with themselves and each other.
