The closest airport would be Denver International Airport (DIA). There are many flights in and out of there. Additionally, you can take the Groome transport van back to Loveland. This is usually a $29 ticket and has a drop spot at a small local airport near the retreat home where we will pick you up. You will just make your arrangements to get to the drop off point and communicate with us to know when to pick you up there. 

Or if you prefer, there is a car rental place right at DIA that shuttles you a short distance to the lot where you pick up your car. An Uber or Lyft would likely cost a good bit more than the shuttle, as it is about 45 minutes from DIA to Loveland.

You are welcome here.

Your child does not need an official diagnosis for you to attend this retreat. Some children have a diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, DMDD, autism, sensory processing differences, or other neurodevelopmental or mental health concerns. Others may simply be emotionally intense, highly sensitive, strong-willed, easily overwhelmed, or harder to parent in traditional ways.

If motherhood has felt heavier, more complex, or more misunderstood than you expected, this retreat was created with you in mind. I think you would find this group of moms to be pretty understanding and supportive.

We wanted to plan this retreat to be as all-inclusive as possible. So other than your transportation, we are covering all the other essential costs such as food and lodging. There will be three meals, drinks, and snacks provided each day. (Except for one meal, we are eating out at your choice of 3 various restaurants.) 

Otherwise, your registration covers lodging, food, snacks, drinks, retreat journal, gifts, activities, outings, project materials, pre- and post-retreat follow-up calls, personality assessments, coaching sessions, and some yummy desserts too!

No, the focus of the work I do is clearly focused on education, support, and skill building. This retreat is encouraging, educational, reflective, and supportive, but it is not therapy and does not replace mental health treatment. You will receive encouragement, insight, practical tools, and connection in a group retreat and coaching setting.

No. This retreat will include encouragement, Scripture-based reflection, and space for prayer because my own story of mothering a uniquely wired child connects with my faith. 

At the same time, this is a welcoming space for any mom seeking encouragement, support, and hope for the road she is walking. Whether your faith feels steady, stretched, quiet, or uncertain, you are welcome here.

We want this experience to be as enjoyable as possible. We'll be sending out a short questionnaire once people have registered so they can make specific necessary requests. And we will try to accommodate whatever needs we are able.

We secured a retreat location that can house more people than we anticipate, however to keep costs low, we anticipate that we may still need to share rooms. We will do our best to match sleeping needs as well (early riser, light sleeper, sound machine use, etc.) to make things work as smoothly as possible.

Check-in isn't allowed until Thursday (April 27) at 4:00 pm MST. So as close to that time as possible would be ideal. However, if your flight arrives later, the retreat home is near the Groome drop off point, and we will just pick you up there when you arrive.

Since people are just arriving Thursday evening, we are planning three full days of retreat activities to start the next morning (Friday-Sunday). We have scheduled a variety of special outings, group interaction, fun activities, time to relax, and coaching time from 9:00 am -9:00 pm all three days. 

Check-out is 10:00 am MST on Monday morning. So plan your return flight for Monday. The Groome shuttle can also take you to DIA to catch your flight. You can book that on their website.

Yes, we have 4-5 parking spots allowed for our stay. So we will be able to accommodate people who are driving. The exact address of our retreat location will be shared privately after you register and receive your retreat details and preparation packet.

Yes. This retreat is intentionally designed with space to breathe, reflect, connect, and rest. You will not be rushed from one session to the next all day long. The goal is not to overload you, but to help you exhale and leave feeling encouraged, steadier, and supported.

You will not be the only one.

Many moms will arrive not knowing anyone, and this retreat is intentionally designed to feel warm, welcoming, and emotionally safe from the moment you walk in. Our pre-summit coaching call might help you feel a little less nervous about this, allowing you some time to chat with someone prior should you choose.

There will be gentle ways to connect, but no pressure to share more than you want to. You can participate at your own comfort level, take quiet moments when you need them, and ease into the weekend in a way that feels right for you.

My hope is that you leave feeling like you found a room full of moms who may not know your exact story, but truly understand the kind of road you are walking. (And of course, if you know a mom walking a similar journey, you can invite them to register and attend the retreat too!)
