Restful Rebel ~ March 2025 Offerings
Awaken with the season of renewal and growth
Spring is just around the corner, Friend! The snow is (finally) beginning to recede here in Michigan, and the earth is stirring—waking from her slumber. The birds are busy, the days are stretching longer, and soon, we’ll be in full bloom.
Join me as we embrace this season of fresh starts with offerings designed to awaken your body, mind, and spirit. Let’s breathe, rest, and grow together. I can’t wait to welcome you! 🌞
Here’s what’s coming up!
Why Longer Retreats are the Ultimate Reset
