- Your retreats are about anxiety, stress, narcissistic abuse, and ADHD. Besides, how did you establish the existence of these specific areas of need and how are they connected in your practice?
After years of successfully helping clients, in my private practice, overcome these specific presenting issues by combining psychotherapy and coaching approaches, I packaged my unique methods to transform more people’s lives in matters of days during topic-based retreats. Having personally experienced the deep challenges of each area and overcome them makes me more relatable to my participant’s own challenges.
- Can you tell us about a typical day at a Mind Clarity retreat?
What steps are important in this retreat? A typical day includes practical mindfulness, psychoeducational workshops, private 1:1 coaching consultation with me, group coaching techniques, therapeutic meditation, and some “me time” to process, relax and enjoy the beautiful venue. Some days also include breathwork and yoga classes with our holistic experts.
- In your opinion, how can the mind clarity retreat be made more effective for participants? What should be the approach for this?
Every warm hug, feedback, and tears of joy I get from my participants at the end of every single retreat further Mind Clarity Retreats are life-changing and transformational with the long-lasting mind shift generated by my unique approach and authentic personality.
- What kind of long-term support is provided to participants after the completion of the retreat?
My retreats include a topic-based manual and worksheets to help participants review their learning and implement the coaching techniques we covered. I am also available for a follow-up or private coaching for any participants who want further private support.
- In your experience, which factor is most challenging in helping people achieve a life-changing mind shift?
People who attend Mind Clarity Retreats are usually inquisitive and ready for introspection and learning to better themselves around Anxiety, ADHD, or Narcissistic abuse and improve their life in a unique and proactive way. Within minutes spent with me they feel relaxed, comfortable, and safe to become vulnerable and fully engaged with me and my holistic practitioners.
- The field of mental wellness is growing continuously, how do you think your retreats and methods are developing for future challenges?
Mind Clarity retreats methods are very successful and in high demand from Europe and the US so we are now expanding beyond the UK with Turkey in fall 2024 and Bali in 2025.
