What past participants had to say…
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I loved everything about what you all did for us! It was so amazing. I can not wait until the next one! I can only say I just wish we had one more day! For myself, not knowing anyone but one friend, I felt like I was just getting to know a few beautiful ladies, and then had to say goodbye!
Thank you again Carrie for your story and for helping other women with their stories. You are brave, thoughtful, and caring and it shows!

Loved...
the welcome package
the venue
the hot tub
Dr Tracy
the hike
the little touches, like the agenda in the room each day.
I thought the speakers were relevant. I got some insight form each speaker. The agenda was well paced. I liked there was a choice to go to yoga or sleep in a bit.
The hike was a good level I thought, I felt like I got a workout!! Food was delicious. Nice healthy choices, mixed with some treats!!!

Carrie’s genuine interest in empowering women, and her passion for helping others, is evident in every aspect of her life. As a participant in her first Retreat, as well as her four-week course, I witnessed first-hand how hard she works to ensure everyone’s needs are met.
Carrie is a compassionate, caring, kind person, and her commitment to ongoing growth and change, for herself and everyone she meets, is admirable. She truly wants to assist us all to evolve into wiser, more self-aware, and confident women. Carrie has a unique ability to connect with others, and since her positivity is contagious, you won’t be disappointed in your FoundHer experiences!

Kari-Anne truly outdid herself with the food! The food selection was pleasing for every palate. I was able to eat low carb and healthy if I chose to or completely indulge in the candy bowl and desserts. The spreads for every meal and in between left me quite satisfied. There was a wonderful selection of beverages available throughout the weekend which I took full advantage of. Love my fresh hot coffee every morning!
I got to share the pool house with three amazing women, who I am so privileged to call my friends. The pool house is a comfortable space where we could kick back and chill with a glass of wine and some great conversation. We were so respectful of each other that it was only when I got home that it occurred to me that we shared one bathroom with four women! The main lodge is an inviting and warm space. So many nooks where you could snuggle up in a cozy chair or couch and just be. It has a very homey feel.

I loved it... I loved the whole weekend, the time in between sessions/activities, the ladies were amazing.
I found that even though a lot of us came with someone, we ended up really bonding with complete strangers over just being where we are in our lives!!
The speakers - Loved them... Wine tasting - so incredibly fun!
The lodge and surroundings, in my opinion, are the perfect setting for a retreat like this... away from it all, lots of gathering areas inside and outside to mingle and get to know people.
The food - I think someone said they didn't feel hungry the whole weekend... this is true! You guys did an amazing job of keeping all us ladies fully fed!! I appreciated the care you took to make sure there were options for gluten free and other allergies (PS need the recipe for those GF chocolate chip cookies)
I came away feeling incredibly cherished by you with the time and care that went into every detail!! Thank you.
I would come again, I have already recommended your retreat to a number of my close friends.
The only thing... Kleenex!! Boxes need to be everywhere!!
