About
Willowbrook Wellness
Willowbrook Wellness is a nature-rooted sanctuary located on our family farm — a place intentionally created for slowing down, softening, and reconnecting with yourself.
Surrounded by open fields, trees, animals, and a quiet private lake, the land itself is part of the healing. The pace is slower here. The environment is calm, welcoming, and deeply grounding. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
Every experience at Willowbrook Wellness is designed with the nervous system in mind. From the cozy indoor spaces to time spent outdoors, stillness, silence, and gentle connection are woven into everything we offer. Whether you’re here for a retreat, a reset day, or a community gathering, you’ll be held in an atmosphere that feels safe, nurturing, and unhurried.
This is not a retreat center built for hustle or high performance.
It’s a sanctuary for rest, regulation, and quiet return — where nature leads and healing unfolds naturally.
About
Gerda Pier
Hi, I’m Gerda — the heart and host behind Willowbrook Wellness.
For many years, I believed healing meant doing more: learning more, giving more, trying harder. That belief changed after a fall that left me with a broken wrist and months of unexpected stillness. In that pause, I finally listened to what my body had been asking for all along.
My nervous system was exhausted — and rest became the teacher.
That season reshaped my path and clarified my calling: not to push people toward change, but to create gentle, supportive spaces where healing can happen naturally.
As a holistic wellness practitioner trained in grounding techniques, EFT, and NLP, I guide women and entrepreneurs toward regulation, clarity, and deeper self-connection. My approach is calm, compassionate, and deeply respectful of each person’s pace.
I don’t lead from the front or offer quick fixes.
I walk beside you, hold steady space, and help create the conditions where your body can feel safe enough to soften.
Willowbrook Wellness is an extension of that philosophy — and I’m honored to welcome you here.
