"What Makes This Retreat Unique?

At Simply-Helping Retreats, we hold space for every guest to embark on a transformative journey—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—within a community of women who have shared the honor and challenge of military service. Through a blend of healing techniques, guided meditations, gentle yoga, optional beginner aerial yoga (based on group interest), creative projects, meaningful group and private discussions, and daily energy-clearing sessions, you’ll find time and space to explore, process, and heal. Whether you choose moments of personal reflection, connection with nature, or meaningful exchanges with fellow veteran women, the journey is yours to shape.

While guided meditations and yoga are key elements, our true mission is to support your long-term growth and wellbeing. Holly believes in providing accessible, simple healing techniques and energy-clearing practices to empower every guest with lasting benefits and tools for life.

Guided by our core philosophy, "L.Y.F.E." - Love Yourself First Everyday, this retreat emphasizes the importance of self-care as a source of strength and renewal. Taking care of yourself is essential—not selfish—and creates the foundation to care for others and thrive.

Daily group healing circles will help align your chakras and clear physical, emotional, mental, and energetic/spiritual bodies, inviting deep relaxation and new possibilities for growth. We understand that healing is a journey, and it is an honor to walk this path with a group that understands the unique challenges faced by women veterans.

Participation is entirely your choice—engage fully in the planned activities, find stillness in nature, or connect one-on-one with other guests. Our goal is to provide a supportive space tailored to your needs, so you leave not only refreshed but equipped with tools to continue your healing journey."

What one client said after attending our last Thanksgiving Retreat:  

"I arrived a bit nervous and was greeted so warmly that any apprehension quickly dissolved. Holly’s home is very well suited for a retreat. There was a good bit of stretching and yoga, but that wasn’t all. Presentations and activities that were all geared toward spiritual and physical well-being were also included, although nothing was mandatory.  We had nice weather for November, but not warm enough to enjoy the beautiful pool.

Holly requested information on any dietary needs or preferences, so the delicious home cooked meals were tailored to each individual with alternative options served.

I would highly recommend this retreat. I hope that I have another opportunity to attend. Thank you Holly for providing a place that made me feel safe, nurtured, and relaxed."

What clients have said after attending our Retreats:

"Holly is a great host. She made me feel very comfortable. Her home is well equipped for guests. We ate delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Holly is also a very encouraging yoga teacher. She is excellent for beginners. I was worried because I have little experience and no athletic ability but it was no problem. I was upside down doing arial yoga by the second day! I gained a lot of confidence. I am excited to take home everything I learned. If you are an anxious person like me. This retreat is right for you"

TESTIMONIALS:

"I, like many women, whether you are an entrepreneur or not, find my days filled and my calendar scheduled before the next month even comes along. When I went to a Simply-Helping Retreat to facilitate the meditation, little did I know how much I would get out of the weekend myself!

I was greeted with a terrific spread of appetizers and wine laid out in a country setting that felt anything but rural. Holly Whitman's home was beautiful! And the educators of the crystal class did an outstanding job. Everything was hands on and open for questions. Later, I sat with the other women guests around a fire while looking at the stars and talking from our hearts.

The next morning, greeted with coffee and quiet time, I could feel my mind slow down to the pace and pleasure of my body, even before the meditation! The food was incredible, the natural environment serene, and the teachers beyond knowledgeable. It was tranquility within reach, both in price and distance. I'd take it again in a heartbeat." Thank you, Holly, for helping women everywhere!"----Dawn, USA

"Holly is an extraordinary healer. Her intuition guides her to help her clients go from stuck to thrive. She truly feels what you are feeling and uses her tools to help the energy flow within. Holly cares deeply and you can feel it from the moment you meet with her. I highly recommend Holly! She goes above and beyond to help and empower people to feel better and be more in alignment with who they are born to be." ----Alison, USA

"Hi Holly,

So! You remember that I told you that it was my first time doing the Chakras thing, right?!OMG! So, I was impressed when you told me that I had a lot on my right shoulder; which, I didn't tell you at the moment that it has been hurting A LOT for the past 9 months! And I couldn't hardly put any weight on it to sleep on that side.....Well, last night, I woke up at around 3:45am, not strange for me when the full moon is about to be; and I realized that I had NO pain on my right shoulder at all and my mind felt so fresh and clean - Like "someone" had done a deep cleaning/organizing/decluttering of my interior files!

This morning, I wake up, again feeling refreshed, organized and all thoughts in control. What a beautiful and peaceful feeling!

Again, thank you! Please guide me (as I am sort of new to your magic); on what should I do next to increase this beautiful feeling and properly maintain it.

Xoxo
