Restore and Renew Retreats at Holden Beach

Burnout is high in the birth field. It can be difficult to find harmony in being a professional business owner in a heart-based business.

This retreat is designed to help you renew yourself and create a plan to take that restoration forward throughout the coming year.

Reserve Your Spot at a 2026 Retreat

The genuineness of the participants and culture of caring for one another is one of a kind. I look forward to it all year. Each workshop was beneficial and exactly what I needed. The fact that it’s located steps from the beach is an added bonus! I am already looking forward to next year.

What To Expect

2 Full Days of Educational Workshops and Brainstorming Sessions

In previous years, these sessions have been life-changing for our participants, and we expect nothing less this year! Typically, we will have:


4 guest-speaker presentations focused on...

  • Practical skills for your business (such as creating passive income, social media marketing, and AI for business)  
  • How to create Work-Life-Harmony at work and at home

Typical Schedule

• Sunday evening through Tuesday includes interactive workshops and working breakout groups with long lunch breaks to enjoy the beach in the middle of the day.
• Wednesday morning concludes with our closing presentation and a group photo.
• Wednesday afternoon through Friday are Open Days - no plans, just an unstructured portion of the retreat meant for rest, reflection, connection, and personal renewal. 

The Restore & Renew Retreat is all-inclusive for lodging, workshops, and scheduled retreat experiences.

Shared meals are included through Wednesday morning. The remainder of the week is intentionally more spacious and self-directed. Food may be available in the house, but meals are not planned, prepared, or guaranteed during the Open Days.


Your cost:  Retreat $1,800.00

Save your spot for $800.00

Capacity is extremely limited! Don't miss out - Reserve Your spot here!

And of course, the main perk - a taste of coastal living!

With long lunch breaks and extra days after the main sessions, there will be plenty of time for... 


  • Restoration and reflection as you walk on the beach
  • Searching for shells and shark teeth
  • Sitting on the porch of the beautiful oceanfront house while watching the dolphins play in the surf, pelicans fly by and dive into the water, and if you're really lucky, catch a glimpse of a mama and baby whale (yes, this really happened at the 2024 retreat!)
  • Relaxing in the hot tub (or dipping in the pool, if it's warm enough!)

"Before the retreat, I was feeling stretched thin and carrying the weight of “What’s next?” in my business. I was feeling flat and burned out, and out of alignment.


At one point on the beach, after a deep conversation and a long brainstorming session, I realized I didn’t need to do MORE, I needed to do what matters more. That was the shift for me. That clarity really shifted my business. It changed how I approach my work by helping me really think through my next steps, instead of chasing every opportunity. I came home with a focused plan, clear priorities, and excitement about my next steps.


I’m already seeing change, stronger boundaries, more intentional decisions, and momentum that helps me lean into growth in a positive way.


And honestly, beyond the strategy and business sessions, it’s the feeling we all get together. The beach. The food. The laughter. Being surrounded by people experiencing the same growth challenges and being fully accepted as you are. The retreat doesn’t just renew your business, it renews you. I’ll be back. See you there!" - Laurel

The Birth Worker Retreat - October 25-30, 2026

Most birth workers find themselves in many roles, not only caring for their clients and students but also running a business. Harmonizing business and personal life, while carrying the emotional load of being a birth worker and the physical load that can be part of that role, takes its toll. The retreat will support you in finding that harmony and in unloading built-up stress.
